Trivia:
|
- When Dr. Frankenstein descends the stairs into the basement of the castle there is a gargoyle on the wall made to look like director Mel Brooks.
- The shot of the monster carrying Elizabeth in the woods is a subtle reference to a similar shot in Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- The film was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original Frankenstein.
- The sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
- 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.
