Who played Victor Frankenstein and Igor in the classic 1931 film?
Nobody. Those characters didn’t exist in that film. The doctor’s name was Henry Frankenstein (although he’s never referred to as “doctor”), and his assistant was Fritz. Victor Moritz was the name of the doctor’s friend (who seemed much more interested in Elizabeth than Henry). Q: So when did Igor come about? A: Ygor, as he’s properly known, first appeared in the 1939 sequel Son of Frankenstein. Beatles references, Blackenstein, Playgirl magazine and why everyone was scared of Franken Berry cereal, all after the jump… Q: What are the official sequels to the 1931 Frankenstein film? A: The “Universal Studios series,” as it’s known, runs as follows: Frankenstein (1931) Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Son of Frankenstein (1939) The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) House of Frankenstein (1944) And because they’re Universal films from the same era that also feature The Monster, some lists also include: House of Dracula (1945) Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
