CARRY ON SCREAMING is a null-crossover for the same reason as JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER. As my review articulates, the movie follows the capricious exploits of a mad scientist and his sexy sister as they embark on experiments Frankensteinian. The scientist is not even an offspring of any version of Frankenstein, but he says that he studied under the master of monsters. In addition, he also studied under Doctor Jekyll, so he has a supply of the Hyde-juice around and uses it to transform a nosy constable. This strategy backfires when "Sergeant Hyde" beats up the monsters of the scientist and ends his rampage. So the recognizable figures of previous narratives never "cross over," they're merely spoken of-- and mere references do not a crossover make.
