Many UH films aren't actually horror. Horror's a weird genre to define.


This film is considered to have launched the Franchise/UniversalHorror franchise, although it isn't actually much of a horror film. Call it EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Notably, Quasimodo never appeared in any subsequent Universal films, the [[Film/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame1939 1939 version]] being a production of Creator/RKOPictures. Even so, this film's status as part of the classic horror canon is the reason Quasimodo is occasionally counted as part of the MonsterMash.

* DisposableFiance: Fleur-de-Lys is still in the story, and becomes this trope as a result of Phoebus ending up with Esmeralda. Fleur seems very "meh, whatever" about her fiance running off with another woman. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The screenwriters might not have thought this through completely.]]

* MythologyGag: When Jehan tries to convince Esmeralda to run away with him, he's wearing the robes of the Church, which he hastily explains by saying that it was the only way he could get past the guards. No doubt this is a nod to the fact that it was his priest brother Claude who lusted for Esmeralda in the original novel.
