1* TheOtherDarrin:
2** Creator/BorisKarloff was invited to reprise his role as the Monster, but declined, so Creator/LonChaneyJr took over. Back in the day this was considered as big a deal as when another actor replaced Creator/SeanConnery as Film/JamesBond. Ironically, this film technically depicts the death of his version of the Monster, given that it ends with a new brain being used.
3** Creator/CedricHardwicke, who plays Ludwig, also appears as Henry Frankenstein, due to the original actor, Colin Clive, having died five years earlier.
4* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
5** First draft of the script featured Ygor forming a band of rejects and Wolf von Frankenstein returning.
6* YouLookFamiliar:
7** The actors who played Lang and Neumüller in the previous film appear in almost same roles (their previous characters being dead and all) in the townhall of Frankenstein. Creator/DwightFrye ([[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Fritz]], [[Film/BrideOfFrankenstein Karl]]) is also among the populace there.
8** Creator/LionelAtwill, who was Krogh in the previous film, is the ambitious Dr. Bohmer.
