Facts about

Originally, Lon Chaney Jr. was to play both the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein Monster, but the producers decided the make-up demands and schedule wouldn't permit this. Late in life Chaney stated in an interview that he did, however, play both monsters in the film. Although he may well have been referring, correctly, to _Abbott and Costello Meet the Ghosts (1948)_ where he briefly doubled Glenn Strange after he broke an ankle throwing a woman through the laboratory skylight near the end of the film. You can actually see Strange stumble but keep upright after the throw.
The matte painting of the town of "Vasaria" is lifted from Universal's My Little Chickadee.
With Bela Lugosi's dialogue scenes cut, he's only on screen for five minutes and 6 seconds, with stunt men and doubles appearing in almost two additional minutes.
