| 1 | * BTeamSequel: Creator/JamesWhale had no desire to make any more horror films and thus didn't return to direct. |
| 2 | * TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Colin Clive died before production began, and Baron Henry Frankenstein is all but stated to have died between the events of this film and the previous film, ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''. |
| 3 | * UncreditedRole: Surprisingly for a film as dependent on make-up effects as this one, make-up supervisor Jack Pierce receives no on-screen credit for his work. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 5 | ** Creator/PeterLorre was originally cast as Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, but he had to leave the production when he became ill. Creator/ClaudeRains was also considered. |
| 6 | ** There were plans to shoot the film in Technicolor, but Jack Pierce was reportedly unable to make the makeup for the monster look right in color. |
| 7 | * WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Due to the lack of a prepared script, much of the picture was written just moments before the actors were to shoot their scenes. This was how director Rowland V. Lee was able to keep Creator/BelaLugosi working throughout filming, and built up the role of Ygor, which never appeared in the original Wyllis Cooper screenplay. |
