Carry On Screaming! is a 1966 film from the Carry On series, making it the twelfth movie made. It starred Harry H. Corbett, Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Charles Hawtrey, Fenella Fielding, Joan Sims, and Angela Douglas in the series' take on Hammer Horror.The movie is set in Edwardian times and begins in Hocombe Woods with Doris Mann (Douglas) being abducted by Odbodd (Tom Clegg), a horrible wolfman monster, from her lover Albert Potter (Dale). Two detectives, Detective Sergeant Sidney Bung (Corbett) and Detective Constable Slobotham (Peter Butterworth), have been tracking disappearances in the same area and find the creature's finger. The three of them search for more clues and find the Bide-a-Wee Rest Home, home to strange butler Sockett (Bernard Bresslaw), attractive mistress Valeria (Fielding), and her electrically reanimated brother Dr. Olando Watt (Williams), who scare them away.The next day, the trio interview Dan Dann (Hawtrey), a lavatory attendant, but he is killed before he can reveal anything. In fear of being discovered, Valeria uses a potion to turn Sergeant Bung into a hunched-over sniveling alter-ego, ordering him to steal a mannequin that looks suspiciously like Doris, leading Sergeant Bung to link two-and-two together. His wife Emily (Sims) is convinced that he's having an affair, so she secretly follows along, getting dragged into the plot in the process as Hilarity Ensues.

comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Sergeant Bung gets two of these: Although he likes to make Slobotham do all of his dirty work when Slobotham ends up getting kidnapped, he becomes very worried and fears that he's for the worse. When he discovers Emily's mannequin in Dr. Watt's lab, he becomes very emotional. He even keeps her dummy standing in the living room at the end of the movie, despite dating Valeria.

All Men Are Perverts: Albert doesn't take into consideration how terrified Doris is in Hocombe Woods and is only interested in getting a chance to sleep with her. Sergeant Bung moans about not having nights of passion with Emily and doesn't hold back when Valeria gives him an opportunity.

Fingore: When Doris is kidnapped, Sergeant Bung and Slobotham find their first clue in the form of an inhuman finger, torn off and left behind at the scene, as Dr. Watt's reanimation leaves the bodies brittle and prone to breakages.

All There in the Script: Some things aren't revealed in the film itself: Sergeant Bung and Slobotham's full titles are "Detective Sergeant" and "Detective Constable" respectively. The forensic scientist who accidentally creates (and is killed by) Junior is called "Dr. Fettle".

Everyone Went to School Together: Dr. Watt often mentions his connections with others he knew back when he was alive. He says that he was bullied in his student years by Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll — the latter who, once he became a scientist, gave him a prescription for medicine that would turn a patient into a Wolf Man — and was also friends with Dracula.

comment
Plot Hole: Sergeant Bung claims that Odbodd was dead for 500 years, despite the fact that an ancient ape-like creature such as himself would more likely be closer to 30,000 years old. Sergeant Bung and Albert are surprisingly good at using a socket and know how to plug even though the film is set at a time when gas was mostly used for lighting and cooking. When Sergeant Bung shows Valeria his whistle, he mentions that it doesn't work as he inhaled the pea, despite the fact that Hudson whistles don't have peas by design.

Undercover as Lovers: Sergeant Bung and a Disguised in Drag Slobotham dress up as a couple and enter Hocombe Woods to help figure out who's been kidnapping young women from the area. It works a little too well when Sergeant Bung's wife, Emily, who already believed was having an affair, spies on them, although she never gets to confront him as she (and Slobotham) is captured.

And I Must Scream: The ending reveals that all the women turned into mannequins still have some level of sentience as shown when the still-transformed Emily winks at the end of the film. Meaning all the women transformed before Doris are still conscious, never to move again...

Shout-Out
 Carry On Screaming! / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Odbodd and Junior look like a cross between Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man. The name "Sergeant Bung" is a play on the series Sergeant Cork. The theme to Z Cars plays as Sergeant Bung drives his car. Sockett has often been compared to Lurch from The Addams Family (although Bernard Bresslaw was unfamiliar with the series when he played the role). Valeria has also been compared to Morticia. Dr Watt is electrical, much like Frankenstein's Monster. He also went to school with the monster's creator and Dr. Jekyll (who provided him with a potion to turn people into a shambling monster, much like Mr. Hyde]]) and knew Dracula. When the three protagonists ask for Watt's name, this happens: Dr. Fettle looks like Albert Einstein.
