The character of
Bela Lugosi continually puts down
Boris Karloff and the Frankenstein monster, then later laments that he turned down the role of the monster himself. In reality, Lugosi did play the monster (years after Karloff), in
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943). Incidentally, he also played the role of Ygor in
Son of Frankenstein (1939) against Karloff's final portrayal as the monster.
