Facts about
Glenn Strange speaks for the first time as The Monster. This film marks the first time since The Ghost of Frankenstein that the character has spoken, though it does not explain how The Monster has regained his voice.

The opening scene of "London", then "Big Ben" is followed by a constable on patrol. This shot was lifted from Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in the scene a constable finds the unconscious Lawrence Talbot after his "resurrection", that same constable is murdered by the Wolf Man the following night. A filter was used to darken the shot for inclusion in this film.
