In Man Made Monster Atwill plays a mad doctor who makes Chaney Jr.'s character dangerous via electricity (which originally brought life to the Frankenstein Monster)
Ralph Bellamy had previously played a member of law enforcement who hunts a murderous monster. The first film was The Wolf Man. In both movies Lon Chaney Jr. plays the monster.
Dwight Frye appears as 2 different characters. First as one of the villagers who destroys the Frankenstein castle at the beginning of the film. Later in flashbacks to the original Frankenstein where he played Fritz, the hunchbacked assistant to the original Dr. Frankenstein.
