Trivia:

Director James Whale originally did not want to do a sequel to Frankenstein.
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.
The "body count" in the original cut was 21. This was trimmed to 10 after pressure from the censors.
The musical soundtrack for this film proved so popular, it was used again in the Flash Gordon serials starring Buster Crabbe.
