What's left behind the scenes
- Lou Costello did not want to star in this film, claiming that even his little daughter could write a better script. He was only persuaded by an advance of $50,000 and the fact that one of the directors turned out to be Charles Barton, who was a good friend of his and Bud Abbott.
- Glenn Strange landed the role of Frankenstein purely by chance. Makeup artist Jack P. Pierce saw him on the 'Universal Pictures' lot while he was acting in some pirate film. Pierce paid him $25 to stay after filming, after which he tried out Strange as Frankenstein.
- Boris Karloff refused the offer to play the monster, but agreed to help promote the film as part of the advertising campaign. In one photograph, for example, he is shown standing in line at the box office of one of New York's cinemas showing the film, while in other photographs he is looking at the film's posters in the cinema lobby.
- Lon Chaney Jr. played both monsters in this film. During filming, Glenn Strange tripped over a camera cable, fell, and broke his leg. Chaney Jr. didn't have a scheduled shoot that day; he was properly made up, put on Frankenstein's costume, and played the scene where one of the characters is thrown out of the window.
- In the final chase, when Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are standing by the door while Frankenstein bursts through it, Costello received a blow to the face. Charles Barton liked his reaction to the hit so much that he kept the episode in the film.
