CrimeDrama

13 Demon Street is a Swedish anthology horror television series aired between 1959 and 1960 in American syndication. Thirteen 25-minute episodes were produced. Lon Chaney Jr. introduces each episode from his 'home' at 13 Demon Street. Condemned for some ambiguous, shockingly atrocious crime, Chaney's purpose in relating the series' stories is to convince viewers that the crimes presented in them were worse than his, thus freeing him from his purgatory. Three episodes were edited together to make a theatrical feature called The Devil's Messenger, in which Chaney's character was reconfigured as Satan himself. Further, he filmed new wraparound segments to link the chosen episodes, 'The Photograph', 'The Girl in the Glacier' and 'Condemned in Crystal'.
