Carry on Screaming! Reviews

Utilising a distinct brand of double entendre-laden humour and exemplary gothic settings, quotable dialogue and general absurdity, "Carry On Screaming!" parodies the mad doctor, vamp and mute, hirsute, and imposing physicality of monsters from the Universal era, derives its major plot points from "House of Wax" and yet, in terms of entertainment value, somehow surpasses most of what it is spoofing. I cannot exaggerate how much of a hidden gem this is, and to be frank, assert why it is so much more rewatchable than the conventions it pays side-splitting homage to; take my word for it, if you only see one highly satirical British production from the 1960s, ensure it is this particular work of overlooked comedy genius.
