Mary Shelley: It's a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.
Dr. Pretorius: To a new world of gods and monsters!
The Monster: We belong dead!
Dr. Pretorius: We shall drink to our partnership. Do you like gin? It is my only weakness.
Trivia:
Director James Whale originally did not want to do a sequel to Frankenstein.
In the opening and closing credits the cast list says "The Monster's Mate" followed by a question mark.
Not long before filming began, Colin Clive broke a leg in a horse riding accident. Consequently, most of Dr. Frankenstein's scenes were shot with him sitting.
The musical soundtrack for this film proved so popular, it was used again in the Flash Gordon serials starring Buster Crabbe.
Shot in 46 days at a cost of approximately $400,000. Boris Karloff sweated off 20 pounds labouring in the hot costume and make-up.
