Trivia:

- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
- The assistant property master's name, Charles Sertin, is on the third brain on the shelf.
- The film was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original Frankenstein.
- The cast and especially Mel Brooks had so much fun and were so upset when principal photography was almost completed, that Mel added scenes to continue shooting.
- A couple who are talking on the train near the beginning of the film are having the same conversation in English, then in German.
