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".
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.
During the final chase scene, when Wilbur and Chick are standing in front of a door and the Frankenstein monster punches through it, Lou Costello deliberately went off his mark and got hit on the jaw. The director liked his reaction, so he decided to keep it in the film.
