Trivia:
|
- The film was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original Frankenstein.
- The shot of the monster carrying Elizabeth in the woods is a subtle reference to a similar shot in Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
- The scene in which the creature contemplates throwing the little girl into the lake ("No more flowers. What shall we throw in now?"), is a homage to a scene in the 1931 film version of Frankenstein. In the 1931 version, this was cut from the film until its video release 50 years later.
- When Dr. Frankenstein descends the stairs into the basement of the castle there is a gargoyle on the wall made to look like director Mel Brooks.
