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 sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was 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.
- A couple who are talking on the train near the beginning of the film are having the same conversation in English, then in German.
