Classic Horror Films Trivia
- The Monster’s make-up design by Jack P. Pierce is under copyright to Universal Pictures until January 1, 2026, and licensed by Universal Studios Licensing.
- The Monster in this film does not physically resemble the character in Mary Shelley‘s novel. It was make-up artist Jack P. Pierce who came up with innovations such as the Monster’s flat head, the bolts through the neck, the droopy eyelids, and the poorly-fitted suit. Any future Frankenstein film (or parodies, such as ‘The Munsters’) that features any of these physical abnormalities takes its inspiration from Pierce’s make-up work.
