- Ch. 3: 2
- Ch. 9: 1
- Ch. 10: 1
- Ch. 11: 1
- Ch. 15: 1
Scene-by-scene breakdown:
Ch. 2: The Grave Robbers
1 body
A potential brain donor hangs from a gallows.
Ch. 3: The Abnormal Brain
2 bodies
A fresh cadaver and a skeleton are present in the lecture room. It's not made explicitly clear whether the skeleton is real or a model, but it seems most likely that it's a real articulated skeleton, as those were (and are) common in biology education, and plastic wasn't widely available at the time the movie was made.
Ch. 9: First Blood
1 body
The monster hangs Fritz.
Ch. 10: The Creature Escapes
1 body
The monster breaks Dr. Waldman's neck.
Ch. 11: Maria and the Monster
1 body
The monster drowns Maria.
Ch. 15: Death to the Monster!
1 body
The mob burns Frankenstein to death.
The monster does return in the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein. But the circumstances in the sequel are so ridiculously far-fetched and inconsistent with the first movie that if you look at this movie as being self-contained, you wouldn't even consider this as a possibility.
