Mary Shelley: It's a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.
Trivia:
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.
In the opening and closing credits the cast list says "The Monster's Mate" followed by a question mark.
Shot in 46 days at a cost of approximately $400,000. Boris Karloff sweated off 20 pounds labouring in the hot costume and make-up.
Director James Whale originally did not want to do a sequel to Frankenstein.
The "body count" in the original cut was 21. This was trimmed to 10 after pressure from the censors.
