THE DEVILS MESSENGER
1962 - Directed by Curt Siodmak
Lon Chaney Jnr. as the Devil links 3 episodes of a pretty good Swedish TV horror-anthology program Siodmak made in 1959, called Number 13 Demon Street. In Hell, Chaney looks in a rotary file and says, "Next!" as he sends his messenger, Satanya (Karen Kadler), to participate in the supernatural tales. The first (and by far the best) concerns a fashion photographer (John Crawford). He kills a woman, but she shows up in photos and in his studio to haunt him. In the other episodes, a miner discovers a woman frozen in a block of ice, and a fortune-teller convinces a man he will die at midnight. At the end Lon points at the camera and a 500-megaton bomb goes off, destroying the world!
