Dr. Pretorius: We shall drink to our partnership. Do you like gin? It is my only weakness.
The Monster: We belong dead!
Dr. Pretorius: To a new world of gods and monsters!
Mary Shelley: It's a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.
The Monster: Alone: bad. Friend: good!
Trivia:
Editing after previews resulted in the loss of a subplot in which Karl imitates the Monster's murderous modus operandi to eliminate his miserly aunt and uncle and direct the blame away from himself.
In the opening and closing credits the cast list says "The Monster's Mate" followed by a question mark.
The "body count" in the original cut was 21. This was trimmed to 10 after pressure from the censors.
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.
