  • During the Monster's double murder at the beginning of the film, an owl is shown observing the event, reacting with a bored expression.
  • The two goofy graverobbers working for Pretorius say at one point during their labors that, "Next time, I say we just let the cops hang us." That turns out to have been a bad wish to make as the Monster ultimately kills them both.
  • Pretorius' reaction to the monster walking in on him having a meal in the crypt he'd just robbed, greeting him as if he were a visitor.
    "... Oh. I thought I was alone. Good evening."
  • Pretorius oozes campy condescension when the Monster starts getting heavy about his existence.
    Monster: Love...dead. Hate...living.
    Pretorius [unimpressed] You're wise in your generation.
  • The Monster learning to smoke a pipe from the hermit.
    • There's also the earlier part of their lesson as the hermit teaches him a few words, starting with "bread." The Monster successfully says "Bread!" and then takes a bite straight out of the whole loaf of it.
  • The Creature angrily trying shoo the fire from the hermit's match, which the hermit insists on doing so in spite of the growling.
  • The homunculi scene, particularly the bit where the tiny king is trying to get to the tiny queen and break open her casing with a teeny tiny cube of sugar.
  • The beginning where the maid is abruptly pulled out of the room by some very happy greyhounds on leashes, and Lord Byron being absolutely delighted by the fact there's a storm raging outside. He then starts being his usual dramatic self, with Mary and Percy giving looks to the camera that say 'here he goes again!'
