Frankenstein's monster was a character from the 1818 novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Shelley was inspired by seeing the Eighth Doctor — under the alias "Dr Frankenstein" — revived and turned into a similar creature. A younger Eighth Doctor, as the two left for adventures in the TARDIS, emphasized that "Frankenstein is the name of the monster, and not the name of the doctor". (AUDIO: Mary's Story)
In 1996, an android version of Frankenstein's monster, along with a version of Count Dracula and the Grey Lady, was part of an attraction at the Festival of Ghana. (TV: The Chase)
On 30 December 1999, Pete watched the 1931 Frankenstein film featuring the Creature while the Seventh Doctor regenerated in his morgue. After regenerating, the Eighth Doctor was startled by the Creature on Pete's television. (TV: Doctor Who)

- Boris Karloff, who plays the monster by the use of stock footage, was born on 23 November 1887, exactly 76 years before the air date of An Unearthly Child.
