Reply to comment by GriffinFlash in TIL Frankenstein did not have a hunchback assistant called Igor in either Mary Shelley's novel or the original Universal and Hammer films. The character is a pastiche of multiple characters across several movies. by BringsHomeBones

And Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is largely based on Son of Frankenstein, so "Eygore" isn't just a random inclusion in that either.
