Boris Karloff’s makeup took 4 hours to apply, he endured steel leg struts and shoes, and sixty-five pounds of padding in order to play the role of the monster. It was well worth it, with Universal making five million dollars from the film.

The style is typical of illustrator Karoly Grosz, who created many images for Universal’s horror flicks, including Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), The Mummy (1932), Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Wives Under Suspicion (1938).
