Balthazar
Background
Balthazar was a witch's familiar spirit in England. He eats people's heads which he exchanges for gold coins
During the events of Torture Garden (1967)
In a hidden basement, Colin Williams finds soft ground and digs up a coffin. Inside the coffin is a headless skeleton and Balthazar. He covers the coffin back up and falls asleep and is awoken by Balthazar, who psychically tells him that he used to serve Uncle Roger. He tells him that he will reward him in return for things Colin must do for him. He says that Roger buried him, but he is now free and hungry. Balthazar runs outside and Colin follows him and finds a Tramp sleeping in the barn. Balthazar orders Colin to kill him and Colin stabs the Tramp to death. Colin wakes up again and thinks it was only a dream, but Balthazar leads him to a place to dig where Colin finds chests full of gold coins and later the headless body of the Tramp. He orders Colin to kill Nurse Parker and when she rides her bicycle to the house and comes inside, Colin kills her with the shovel. Colin is brought to jail and sees Balthazar and screams. When the Constable checks on him, Balthazar is gone. Colin starts to scream again and the Sergeant runs to his cell and finds Colin's now headless body. Balthazar walks into the Sergeant's office and starts to speak to him psychically.
