The half-resurrected Julia, swathed in bandages, and the object of a mad scientist's macrabre lust as well as unethical passion for forbidden knowledge, graphically homages James Whale's darkly comedic take on the "Frankenstein" story.
The scene where Dr. Channard visits the insane inmates of the lower level of the hospital is similar to the scene in From Beyond where Dr. Katherine McMichaels visits Tillinghast at the hospital and peers into the neighbouring padded cells.
