Trivia

The character of Bela Lugosi continually puts down Boris Karloff and the Frankenstein monster, then later laments that he turned down the role of the monster himself. In reality, Lugosi did play the monster (years after Karloff), in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. Incidentally, he also played the role of Ygor in Son of Frankenstein against Karloff's final portrayal as the monster. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: There are numerous other inaccuracies between the movie portrayals and the biographies of the various people involved. However, this film is not intended as a documentary. See more »
