Atropos
Background
Atropos is a waxwork figure at Dr. Diabolo's Torture Garden fashioned after Atropos the goddess of destiny.
During the events of Torture Garden (1967) played by Clytie Jessop
Dr. Diabolo introduces Gordon Roberts, Colin Williams, Carla Hayes, Dorothy Endicott, and Ronald Wyatt to Atropos. He says that Atropos can reveal to each of them their own inner evil. He continues that by showing them their future, they may be able to avoid it. Colin is the first to walk up to Atropos.
Colin drives up to Uncle Roger's house and at first it appears like Atropos answers the door, but her appearance changes to that of Nurse Parker. Atropos cuts Colin's thread and he returns from his trance. The next to walk over to Atropos is Carla. Eddie Storm and Dr. Heim enter Bruce Benton's room and take Carla away and she is turned into an android while a nurse appearing to look like Atropos attends her. Atropos cuts Carla's thread and Dorothy goes next. Leo Winston introduces Dorothy to his piano, Euterpe, which was a present from his mother who in a painting looks like Atropos. Atropos cuts Dorothy's thread and Ronald goes next. Ronald is at a showing of Volumes From Early American Editions of E.A. Poe 1809-1849 from the collection of Lancelot Canning when a woman similar looking to Atropos walks by. Atropos then cuts Ronald's thread.
