"Hammer" was originally due to film "I Am Legend" (the Richard Matheson novel) under the title "Night Creatures", but this was abandoned when the BBFC informed them that they would not pass the film. As "Hammer" had promised the U.S distributors a film called "Night Creatures" the title was passed on to the already completed "Night Creatures (1962)" instead.
The film was based on Russell Thorndike's "Doctor Syn - A Tale of Romney Marsh," but Dr. Syn's name was changed to Blyss to avoid legal problems with Walt Disney, who claimed exclusive rights to Thorndike's stories.
When the sailors march out of the churchyard on their way to their first raid they pass a red-brick house with lobed gables on their right where Parson Blyss lives. This is actually Hills House in Denham, once home to Alexander Korda and Merle Oberon, and then to Sir John Mills. Mills's daughter Hayley restored Cobstone Windmill, which is also featured.
Despite the scene being set in 1792, the hymn "Oft in danger, oft in woe," sung by the church choir, wasn't published until after the author's death in 1806.
Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain had recently appeared - in separate scenes - in The Curse of the Werewolf (1961).
