Empire Magazine

This 12th of the franchise shows that the series could also tackle satire, as well as the tits and bum humour.

Rated: 4/5

Gerald Thomas' direction as usual is assured, though some of the gags and situations would be helped by speeding up via more ruthless trimming.

...an accessible spoof of Hammer Films and a particular kind of Gothic storytelling...

Rated: 3/5

Apart from an engaging performance by Jim Dale, this is glum stuff even by Carry On standards.

SFX Magazine

Behind the pantomime overacting and the playground gags is a creepy horror homage that gets all the details right.

I just loved this movie and planning a re watch hope its faired better than the other CO films.. Lots of classic lines like Frying Tonight! Stick out.. and Harry H Corbett makes this a much almost genre movie sort of like a 60s Shaun of the Dead..

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is without doubt one of the best Carry On Films ever made. The story is great, all about women who are being kidnapped and turned into Maniquins by a somewhat evil house, with monsters and the living dead! It is funny with a great cast and it works on every level, even the usual smut is kept to a minimum, wonderful

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
