The Part of the Frankenstein Monster was originally offered to British actor and former strongman 'David Prowse' (Darth Vader), who declined due to health problems. The part then went to Brian Carrillo who had played the Monster on stage during a four year run in BEETLEJUICE'S GRAVEYARD REVIEW at the Universal Studios theme park in Hollywood. The Monster makeup design was altered to avoid copyright infringement issues with Universal Studios.
First family-friendly movie appearance of Griffin Drew, who normally appears in R-rated thrillers and comedies.
