• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When McDougal and his friend confront Wilbur and Chick on the pier towards the end of the film, Wilbur and Chick both say, "McDougal!" but neither Chick's or Wilbur's lips moves.
  
  
• Continuity: The placard that Wilbur reads to learn about Dracula in the museum is pristine in long shot, but creased and dented in close-up. The close-up was apparently shot after Wilbur bashed the sign against Dracula's coffin in the long shot.

• Miscellaneous: The title is incorrect - the characters never meet Dr. Frankenstein or his heirs, only his creation, "The Monster". Wilbur compounds this by addressing the Monster as "Frankie".
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Charles Bradstreet is credited as Dr. Stevens, but his character is never once called "Dr. Stevens." He is always referred to as Professor Stevens.

• Continuity: Despite the fact that Mcdougal has been attacked by the wolf-man who inflicts an almost fatal wound to his neck, he is neither wearing a bandage on his neck nor is evidently the least bit scratched near the ending when he arrives at the dock.
