With Sidney James absent, Steptoe & Son's Harry H Corbett steps in for his one and only Carry On... This was the 12th entry in the series and the one that takes a bite out of the successful Hammer Horror series. Corbett is Inspector Bung an incompetent police man whos job it is to investigate the disappearance of girls in Hocombe Woods. His investigations lead him to the Bide A Wee Rest Home where he finds Valeria Watt (Fanella Fielding). Unbeknown to Bung she and her brother, the undead Dr Orlando Watt (Kenneth Williams) are "vitrifying" the girls and selling them as shop window dummies. The costumes, sets, music and acting are all spot on and this is one of the best in the series. It really was a golden age for the series and everyone was firing on all cylinders. We'd never see Fielding or Corbett in the series again which was a shame. There is excellent support from Charles Hawtrey, Jim Dale, Peter Butterworth, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw and Angela Douglas. The best moments are between Corbett, Sims and their telephone!

This has to be the best CarryOn ever made. It was the last made by Anglo Amalgamated before the series transferred to Rank and a gradual decline into smut; and it is a splendid parody of the contemporary Hammer Horror and of melodramatic thrillers in general. Harry H Corbett is superb as the laconic Det Sgt. Bung (a very fitting name) with Peter Butterworth as the bumbling Slobotham. Fenella Fielding brings a smoldering appeal to the screen while Jim Dale plays the gawky but gallant hero in a similar style to his Marshal P Knut in "Carry On Cowboy. I got the tape remembering what it had been like in the cinema; I was not disappointed.

Carry On Screaming is without doubt one of the finest films in the series. Despite missing series regular Sid James, the void left is brilliantly filled by HARRY H. CORBETT as a Scotland yard detective trying to trace women who have disappeared in Hocombe wood. Fine support comes in the shape of KENNETH WILLIAMS, JIM DALE, PETER BUTTERWORTH, JOAN SIMMS, FANELLA FIELDING, BERNARD BRESSLAW, ANGELA DOUGLAS and an all too brief apperance from CHARLES HAWTREY. Williams narrowly earns the title of best performance although they are all exellent. This has to be my third favourite of the series bettered only by 'Cleo' and 'Doctor'. Happy screaming!

What a Laugh
Got to be the best Carry-On movie. Very good quality and an excellent purchase for a decent price. Classic Carry-On and I just love Odd-Bod and his boy. Really great purchase.

Best Carry On Film
I have watched this film many times over many years, and still rate it the best of the Carry On films. It hasn't dated, nor lost any of its humour or sparkle. Read more

Harry and Fenella's masterpiece
This is not just a wonderful Carry On but a wonderful film in its own right as it represents one of the rare breed of films that have successfully married horror and comedy. Read more
