The 13th Alley was self-published to DVD on December 10, 2009 directly through the film's website. [2] Dread Central reviewed the movie, writing: "Simply put, The 13th Alley may very well be one of the worst movies of all time. It's simply awful, really awful, 'Oh, my god, I cannot believe I saw this in a theater' awful; the kind of awful that actually transcends awfulness and becomes entertaining in spite of itself. This is one for the ages. I haven't laughed out loud this much at a movie in a long time." [3]
