Factual error: When the moon starts to rise as Larry is lying in the hospital bed, the light from the moon is shown moving from the floor up to his bed. Since the moon is appearing from the horizon, the light should be moving from the wall down to the floor.
Maleva: Are you the proprietor?
Vazec, the Proprietor: I am. What do you beggars want?
Maleva: We just want to ask you, sir, about the Doctor Frankenstein.
Vazec, the Proprietor: Frankenstein? Don't mention that name around this town.
Trivia: With this film Bela Lugosi makes a trilogy playing the roles of Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein's monster.

Suggested correction: Technically, Lugosi did not play THE Wolf Man. He played A Wolf Man who infected Larry Talbot. He never appeared in werewolf makeup.
Question: In the 1941 movie "The Wolfman", the poem about werewolves ends with "And the Autumn moon is bright." In this movie, why was it changed to "And the moon is full and bright"?
Answer: In The Wolfman, it is implied Talbot transformed every night. For Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, the story required that it only happen occasionally (allowing him to travel to Europe without becoming a beast every night). Therefore, the lore was reconned to state that he only changed during the full moon.
