Carry on Screaming! Page #3

It came out of the woods, straight at me.

Great big, glaring eyes.

Long, pointed teeth. Ten feet tall!

Did you notice anything unusual

about it?

Yes. There was a horrible smell.

Like dead fish, it was.

Dead fish?

- Have a look round, Potter.

- Right. Erm... no.

You go and look around.

You're the great detective.

I intend to.

First thing in the morning.

I've got more important things

to do at the station.

- Why are we stopping here, sarge?

- There's a house.

He's right, you know - it is a house!

Marvellous. But we're not looking for

a house, we're looking for Doris.

I know,

but it's the middle of the woods.

They might have heard or seen

something suspicious.

We can't leave any stone unturned.

What's the name of this road,

Slobotham?

- Avery Avenue.

- Then we must explore... Avery Avenue.

- There's a notice here.

- What's it say?

Just a minute.

Bide-a-Wee Rest Home.

Come on, let's go inside.

"Please knock."

Yes?

Good evening.

Could I see the master of the house?

The master of the house is dead, sir.

He's been dead 15 years now.

But if you'll come in,

I'll ask him if he can see you.

Yes.

If it's not too much trouble.

This way, sir.

If you'll wait in here,

I'll go and talk to the master.

Erm... I thought you said

he was dead?

So he is.

That should be a conversation

worth hearing.

How about this?

Must be the mistress of the house.

I say, Sergeant...

Notice anything unusual

about that woman?

- No... what?

- The eyes.

They seem to be alive.

Come.

I'm sorry to disturb you, miss,

but some gentlemen are here.

Yes, I was looking at them, Sockett.

What do they want?

They wish to see the master, miss.

My brother is dead, Sockett.

Don't you understand? He's dead.

Oh, yes, miss.

I did tell them that.

Then why are they still here?

Well, I'm afraid I forgot myself

and told them he might see them.

- Did I do wrong, miss?

- Oh, Sockett!

I'm terribly sorry, miss.

You won't...

You won't send me back... there?

I should do, Sockett.

If only you weren't so necessary

to me.

Enough! Let me go.

Go now.

I have to get my brother up.

What time is it?

Just past December.

I told you not to call me

till the beginning of March!

I know, Orlando,

but this is an emergency.

There are some men to see you.

I can't see anyone in my state.

I'm nowhere near regenerated yet!

You will just have to, my darling.

I think they're police officers.

Police officers?

What do they want with us?

We've done nothing wrong...

have we?

Oh, I don't know.

I sent Oddbod out this evening.

Oh, dear!

Hasn't he come back yet?

- Yes, he's come back.

- Oh.

Well, he's come back,

but one of his fingers is missing.
