Trivia:
|
- The film was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original Frankenstein.
- The assistant property master's name, Charles Sertin, is on the third brain on the shelf.
- 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.
- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
- When Victor finds his grandfather's private library, he finds a book titled "How I Did It." This is actually a joke for those people who have read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In the book, Frankenstein, Shelley never reveals how Victor reanimated dead flesh. The screenwriter obviously knew this and inserts the "How I Did It" book as a joke.
