What's left behind the scenes
- This film was the fourth in Universal's Classic Monster series, based on Mary Shelley's novel about Frankenstein.
- “The Frankenstein spirit” has moved from A-list films to ordinary B-movies. The film has a significantly smaller budget compared to its predecessors.
- The monster's immobility in the courtroom scenes is clearly noticeable in the film.
- This is the last film in which the monster is the central focus. Starting with the next film, “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man” (1943), in which Lugosi plays the Monster with Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man, and in all subsequent films, Frankenstein’s monster was part of a whole ensemble of Universal monsters.
- It was said that the full-head rubber mask, which was part of Frankenstein’s costume, was very uncomfortable, and Lon Chaney Jr. constantly complained about it. Once, while literally tearing the mask off, he accidentally ripped it, and filming had to be paused.
- In addition to the discomfort caused by the costumes and their details designed by special effects artist Jack P. Pierce, actor Lon Chaney Jr. found the makeup applied for certain scenes difficult to endure (particularly when the monster emerged from solidified sulfur). Striving for maximum realism, Pierce completely covered the actor with a cement solution, leaving only a tiny hole near the mouth for breathing. The makeup application process lasted from 6 a.m. to noon, after which the entire film crew and actors went to lunch to allow the cement on Lon Chaney Jr. to dry.
