    • Trivia
      J. Carrol Naish was very frail, and could no longer remember dialogue, so he read his lines off of cue cards. However, he had only one working eye; the other one had been replaced with a glass eye long ago. In his dialogue close-ups, one eye moves back and forth, reading the lines, while the other eye doesn't move at all.
    • Goofs
      J. Carrol Naish's character first refers to Lon Chaney Jr.'s character as "Grodin," although his name in the film is actually "Groton." Afterwards, Naish gets it right from that point on.
    • Quotes

      [referring to some hippies on the beach]

      Martin: It seems that living near the water brings out the best and worst in us.

    • Crazy credits
      For his bit part, Forrest J. Ackerman's first name is listed in the credits as "Forest."
    • Alternate versions
      According to Sam Sherman, the TV version of the film removed the brief topless nudity of the girl on the operating table. It also removed a sign saying "Society Sucks".

    BEST SO-BAD-ITS-GOOD MOVIE EVER!
    For the IMDb I gave this movie a 5 but that reflects how awful it really is. If I were to rate it as a serious horror flick I'd give it a 2 or 1; but as a comedy its an 8 or 9. I've watched this movie countless times with my crapola lovin' friends, and some of the dialogue has become a part of our everday speech, especially the line, from a man who can animate the dead, no less "When a man enters my laboratory, and bears on his hand the unholy seal of Dracula, there can be no scientific answer to anything" (generally followed by one of us shouting "Even simple force-mass equations?" "No, I said anything!") Basically, this movie should be treated like Rocky Horror is now: it should be shown in every late-night movie theater and heckled. Its horribly incompetent; we get to see the spectacle of Lon Chaney Jr. and J. Carrol Nash's last, horrible movie. See crappy bikers and hippies come into conflict! See the worst dialogue delivery ever! The Drac makeup is so bad that his hands and arms are tanned while his face is clown-white! We've dubbed him "Frank Zappula" due to his resemblance to the famous rocker. The Frankenstein figure, Dr. Duray, is dressed like COLONEL SANDERS! For this reason we feel it should be re-titled "Frank Zappula vs. Colonel Frankenstein" and released in every major market. If you have the slightest love for crap cinema,do yourself a big favor and SEE THIS MOVIE!
