Trivia / Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell

• Actor-Inspired Element: Peter Cushing helped to design the wig that he wore, but years afterward regretted the outcome, and apparently quipped that it made him look like the American stage and screen star Helen Hayes (though he may have actually been referring to the British actress Helen Haye, whom Cushing had known and worked with earlier in his career).
• Franchise Killer: This was the last of Hammer's Frankenstein pictures.
• No Stunt Double: Peter Cushing, aged 59 and looking somewhat gaunt and fragile, still insisted upon performing a daring stunt that required him to leap from a tabletop onto the hulking creature's back, spinning wildly in circles to subdue the monster gone amok with a sedative.
• Uncredited Role: Nicholas Smith as Death Wish.
• What Could Have Been: The role of Sarah was first offered to Caroline Munro, but she turned it down because she refused to do nudity.
