Trivia:
|
- 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.
- 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 sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
- The clock rings 13 times at the beginning of the film.
