    Step softly into the fog‑shrouded marshes of classic Hammer Horror as Scary Spirits raises a ghostly toast to two unforgettable icons. In this chilling new episode, we commemorate the birthdays of Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain with a reverent yet spirited review of the 1962 Hammer masterpiece Captain Clegg, also known in the United States as Night Creatures. With measured wit and scholarly delight, hosts Karen and Greg explore the film’s brooding atmosphere, secret identities, and macabre menace—unearthing why this nautical nightmare remains a jewel in the Hammer crown. As the lantern light flickers and the tide rolls in, they sip a specially crafted “Scarecrow” cocktail, perfectly themed to the film’s eerie legend and sinister charm. If you cherish classic horror films, Hammer Studios, 1960s Gothic cinema, or the dark elegance of Britain’s golden age of fright, this episode beckons you closer. Join us, if you dare, for an evening of shadows, spirits, and timeless terror—where the past refuses to stay buried.
