====''Captain Clegg'' (1962)==== ''[[Captain Clegg (film)|Captain Clegg]]'' (1962), (known as ''Night Creatures'' when released in the United States), was produced by [[Hammer Film Productions]] with actor [[Peter Cushing]] in the lead role, directed by [[Peter Graham Scott]]. In the screenplay by [[Anthony Hinds]], the main character's name was changed from "Doctor Syn" to "Parson Blyss" to avoid copyrights problems with Disney's forthcoming version, and ''Captain Clegg'''s screenplay follows the novel ''Doctor Syn'' and the screenplay of the 1937 film closely with the exception of a tightening of the plot. In the Arliss film ''Doctor Syn'', Syn escapes to sea with Mipps and the rest of the Dymchurch smugglers, whereas ''Captain Clegg'' ends more faithfully to the novel, with Parson Blyss being killed by the mulatto (who is then killed by Mipps) and then being carried to and buried in Captain Clegg's empty grave by Mipps. ''Captain Clegg'' was released in the United Kingdom / Great Britain on DVD and Blu-ray in 2014; ''Night Creatures'' was never released on videotape in the United States, but is included in the 2014 two-disc DVD collection ''The Hammer Horror Series''. In North America, the film was released on 6 September 2005 along with seven other Hammer horror films on the 4-DVD set ''The Hammer Horror Series'' , part of MCA-Universal's "Franchise Collection". This set was re-released on Blu-ray 13 September 2016. A Blu-ray was released in the UK on 23 June 2014 by Final Cut Entertainment. In 2021, Powerhouse Films re-released the film on Blu-Ray, along with ''[[The Shadow of the Cat]]'', ''[[The Phantom of the Opera (1962 film)|The Phantom of the Opera]]'', and ''[[Nightmare (1964 film)|Nightmare]]'', as part of ''Hammer Volume Six: Night Shadows'' boxset.<ref>{{Citation|title=Hammer Volume Six: Night Shadows Blu-ray Release Date June 21, 2021|url=https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Hammer-Volume-Six-Night-Shadows-Blu-ray/288092/|access-date=2021-08-09}}</ref>
