Director: Gerald Thomas
Cast: Kenneth Williams, Harry H Corbett
Defining moment: The face-off between Kenneth Williams’s reanimated doctor and Harry H Corbett’s straight-laced cop is a magnificent meeting of comedy giants.
Britain’s best loved low-budget comedy outfit pays tribute to its best loved low-budget horror outfit: the Hammer studio. The twelfth movie in the ‘Carry On’ series revolves around monsters and mad scientists in Edwardian London, features perfectly over-the-top performances from Kenneth Williams and Harry H Corbett (standing in for an unavailable Sid James) and lovingly sends up the lurid style and torrid blood-letting of the Hammer crowd. It's surprisingly scary, too. Edward Lawrenson
