Facts about
Technically, nobody in the film ever meets Frankenstein, although it had long since been accepted that the name of the monster was "Frankenstein's Monster", or for simplicity sake "Frankenstein".
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.
Although the characters had previously appeared in House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula, this is the only Universal film where Larry Talbot and Dracula share both a scene and dialog.
