Audio problem: When the monster is climbing up the laboratory steps following the music Frau Blucher is playing on the violin, she says, "Your grandfather would play this music for the creature he was making", her mouth does not move.

Audio problem: When they first find the monster conscious, Frederick says "Is the sedative ready?" The reply, "Yes, doctor," comes from Frau Blucher, who isn't there, and doesn't make another appearance in the film until she releases the monster and he escapes.

Chosen answer: While no specific date is given, Mel Brooks wanted to do a tribute parody to the classic 1930's horror film, thus the Black and White film and the 30's style film techniques. However, Hans Delbrück (the brain Igor is suppose to steal) was a real-life person who died in 1929. Given that and the cars seen, it's a safe bet it's suppose to be set in the early 1930's.
