The Devil's Messenger

The Devil's Messenger is a 1961 anthology horror film combining 3 episodes of the 1959 B&W Swedish television series 13 Demon Street (which was never broadcast in the USA) with some new scenes featuring Lon Chaney Jr., Karen Kadler and John Crawford. This "feature version" of the series is the closest the U.S. came to seeing the TV series in the U.S. (although the entire series is now available on DVD in the territory).

gollark: (Software defined radios. They can tune to large ranges of frequencies, and do the (de)modulation on a computer instead of specialized hardware. I have a £30 SDR receiver which can receive anything between 24MHz and ~1.7GHz, though it's obviously limited a lot by antennas)
gollark: <@229624651314233346> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the "radios use one crystal for each band" thing, given the existence of SDRs.
