Captain Clegg is a 1962 Hammer Film Productions film. In the United States, it is known as Night Creatures. It is loosely based on Doctor Syn and stars Peter Cushing, Yvonne Romain, and Patrick Allen.
Plot summary
Captain Collier (Patrick Allen) and his band of sailors show up to an English coastal town to investigate reports of “Marsh Phantoms” who ride by night spreading terror to the town.

Trivia
 | This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (April 2010) |
- The psychobilly band Captain Clegg & The Night Creatures who are featured in Rob Zombie's H2 derives its name from this movie.
- The main character's name was changed from Doctor Syn to Parson Blyss to avoid rights problems with Disney who had secured the license to the Dr. Syn name and was completing a film version released in the same time period.
- Hammer originally planned to film Richard Matheson's apocalyptic horror novel I Am Legend under the title Night Creatures. The plan was scotched when the British censor told them that such a film would be outright banned in England. Hammer had already promised their American distributor a film called Night Creatures, so they sold the already-completed Captain Clegg under this title.
- The doom metal band Cathedral has a song on their album, Caravan Beyond Redemption, called Captain Clegg. This song describes Captain Clegg's character in the Hammer film and even features a few quotes from it.
