Trivia:
|
- Teri Garr, who plays Inga, was called in when Madeline Kahn, whom Mel Brooks had originally wanted for the role, turned it down and asked if she could play Elizabeth instead. Garr auditioned for the part of Inga, and added the German accent which won her the role.
- The shot of the monster carrying Elizabeth in the woods is a subtle reference to a similar shot in Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- A couple who are talking on the train near the beginning of the film are having the same conversation in English, then in German.
- The sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
