The original grinding sound was considered too horrific. It was replaced with the sound of a toilet flush which resulted in unintended laughter in audiences. This was believed to be the first time a toilet flush was heard in a motion picture.
Dr. Frankenstein's ancestor, who originally began work on the monster in 1740 is referred to as Richard. Previous films usually called him Victor or Henry.
