Carry On Screaming is a 1966 British horror-comedy film, directed by Gerald Thomas and written by Talbot Rothwell. The film features a series of gags, puns, and general silliness that is typical of the "Carry On" franchise, which spanned 31 films over a period of 20 years.
The film follows the bumbling Detective-Sergeant Bung (played by Harry H. Corbett), as he attempts to solve a string of kidnappings that have been plaguing the local area. His investigations lead him to the sinister Dr Watt (played by Kenneth Williams), who is behind the abductions and is using the kidnapped women to create a range of "perfect" mannequins to sell to local shops. Alongside his girlfriend Doris Mann (played by Angela Douglas), Bung attempts to bring Dr Watt to justice.
The film is filled with hilarious spoofs of classic horror film characters and themes, such as the Frankenstein monster, Count Dracula, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Notably, the film features a memorable performance by Kenneth Williams as Dr Watt, who delivers a delightfully devilish performance as the film's primary antagonist.
Overall, Carry On Screaming is a fun and entertaining film that successfully blends horror and comedy to create a unique and enjoyable viewing experience. It remains a cult favorite among fans of the "Carry On" franchise and British horror-comedy films.
