Quotes:

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!
Dr. Pretorius: We shall drink to our partnership. Do you like gin? It is my only weakness.
The Monster: We belong dead!

Trivia:

Shot in 46 days at a cost of appoximately $400,000. Boris Karloff sweated off 20 pounds laboring in the hot costume and makeup.
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.
When the castle is self-destructing, the Doctor can be seen against the far wall. Yet he is next seen outside in the arms of his beloved, watching the explosions. There were two endings originally: the first had Doctor Frankenstein dying within the castle and this was filmed. But the producers judged this a bit harsh and wanted a happy ending, so they shot the extra footage (too expensive to re-film the explosions).
In the opening and closing credits the cast list says "The Monster's Mate" followed by a question mark.
Director James Whale originally did not want to do a sequel to Frankenstein.
