looking for the title of an old show?

Question

This show was about a person who dressed up like a scarecrow at night. It may have to do with the British attacks on the Huegonots in Canada.

Answer 1

The Scarecrow was a series of films by Disney. The Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn is the smuggler hero of a series of novels by Russell Thorndike. The first book in this series, Doctor Syn: A Tale of the Romney Marsh was published in 1915.

Three film adaptations have been made of Dr Syn's exploits. The first, Doctor Syn, featured noted actor George Arliss in the title role. The second, The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, was produced as a television miniseries by Walt Disney in 1964 and starred Patrick McGoohan of The Prisoner fame (it was re-edited and released theatrically about six years later with the title, Doctor Syn, Alias the Scarecrow). That same year Captain Clegg (released as Night Creatures in the US) was produced by Hammer Film Productions with horror movie actor Peter Cushing in the lead role. Because Disney had a stronger claim to the copyright, the main character's name was changed to Dr. Blyss.
