Kenneth Williams takes center stage in this Carry On movie as Dr. Watt who with
his voluptuous sister Fenella Fielding is carrying on all kinds of diverse experiments that mad scientists do. Even more remarkable since Williams is dead
and has to get a jode from an electrode as the Monster Mash Songs have it.
British music hall comedian Harry H. Corbett joins the Carry On troupe for this film and he fits in perfectly. He's the police chief in the local area where Williams is doing his fiendish work and many women have gone missing. Jim Dale arrives at the station saying a woman he was out on a date with has gone missing and he wants action. Corbett and assistant Peter Butterworth go out to investigate.
Corbett is married to Carry On regular Joan Sims so he's happy when duty calls. Even this kind of duty where he's dealing with fiendish and unearthly things.
Just about all the horror film cliches get a satirical view. Corbett, Williams, and Butterworth even do their own version of Abbott&Costello's Who's On First. You'll recognize moments from several classic horror films done rather differently.
Definitely one of the better Carry On films out there.
