Hammer’s Night Creatures ride onto Blu-ray in April

Disc Announcements, News

If you go down to the marsh at night, you might see something strange. The Romney Marsh near Dymchurch is haunted by the ghost of Captain Clegg and his men riding horseback. They terrorize the area. This ghost story is strong enough to attract the Navy who want to find out what’s going on in the area across the way from France. Night Creatures star Hammer regulars including Peter Cushing (Evil of Frankenstein) and Oliver Reed (The Curse of the Werewolf). The Blu-ray for Night Creatures: Collector’s Edition includes plenty of bonus features about the legendary figure of Captain Clegg. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory:
