About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly, spooky parody with campy performances, corny scares, and constant wordplay in the Carry On style; Not for you if you dislike dated British humor or need real horror like The Fearless Vampire Killers.
Pros: playful horror spoof; lots of puns; memorable comic turns | Cons: dated humor; uneven laughs; stagey sets
