La Maison de Dracula

Actor Glenn Strange suffered greatly during the shooting of the scene in which the Frankenstein Monster is discovered in quicksand. After sitting for three hours in the makeup chair each morning, having his makeup applied by Jack P. Pierce, Strange would spend the rest of the day buried in cold liquid mud (which doubled for the quicksand). "Then everybody else went out for lunch," Strange recalled. "By the time they came back, I was so cold, I could barely feel my legs." Strange's co-star, Lon Chaney Jr., suggested that Strange use alcohol to keep himself warm. Throughout the day, Chaney passed a bottle of whiskey to Strange in-between takes. By the end of the day, Strange recalled, he was so drunk he could barely dress himself after removing his monster makeup and costume.

Some scenes of the Frankenstein monster use stock footage from La Fiancée de Frankenstein (1935) and Le Fantôme de Frankenstein (1942) wherein the differences between Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr. and Glenn Strange in the same role become apparent.

Opening credits ooze down from the top of the screen, ending in a straight line of words.
