 Among the most direct references to the original Universal horror  films is the use of the Werewolf Poem which was created for the  original _Wolf Man, The (1941)_ (qv) and quoted in every subsequent  Universal film featuring that creature. The character of Igor is  also clearly based upon Ygor from _Son of Frankenstein (1939)_ (qv)  and _Ghost of Frankenstein, The (1942)_ (qv), though he also  exhibits personality traits of Fritz from the original  _Frankenstein (1931)_ (qv) and Renfield from the original  _Dracula (1931/I)_ (qv). A scene where Dracula grabs a cross which  bursts into flames is almost identical to a scene in Universals  remake of _Dracula (1979)_ (qv).
