It is the work of the Phantom. Then Christine, the young new star of the opera, is abducted by the Phantom who turns out to be a disfigured brilliant composer himself. The producer, worried about his star, starts to investigate the Phantom's secret lair and soon discovers the Phantom's plan of revenge against the owner of the opera house."

Simon vows to get revenge on the impostor and take care of his sister in the process."

The dreams have gotten so bad that the boarding school sends her home. But neither her guardian Henry nor her friend Grace can help Janet stop the nightmares. Are Janet's problems in her head, will she go crazy like her own mother? Sometimes when you wake up, the nightmare is just beginning."
Description
Night creatures: "Captain Collier 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. The Captain suspects that the local reverend might be hiding something. Are the phantoms genuine or a cover for illegal smuggling activities? Who knows the truth about the curse of Captain Clegg?"
