Production

In an interview with Tom Weaver, Jerry Warren stated that between making The Wild World of Batwoman in 1966 and making Frankenstein Island in 1981, he was living on his ranch for fifteen years, as he no longer had any interest in the film business.

Warren wrote the screenplay and score himself under the alias of Jaques LaCatier and Erich Bromberg respectively. Frankenstein was generally the same story of his earlier film Teenage Zombies, with a connection to the titular legend added.

Warren cast a number of actors who had appeared in his previous work, including Robert Clarke, Katherine Victor and Steve Brodie. Clarke said he initially had high hopes for the film as he felt Warren "has a lot of enthusiasm and he can get a lot on the screen for the kind of money he spends.
