Dr. Diabolo

Background

Dr. Diabolo is the tour guide for Dr. Diabolo's Torture Garden in England. He is the devil in disguise.

During the events of Torture Garden (1967) played by Burgess Meredith

At a carnival, a Carnival Barker invites the public to see the Torture Garden for half a crown. Inside, Dr. Diabolo performs his torture show where he shows off different torture devices. He shows them the electric chair and says the man sitting within it is deserving of his fate. Dr. Diabolo pulls the switch and seemingly kills the man sitting within. He invites the people at the show to see his real Torture Garden for five pounds. Gordon, Colin Williams, Carla Hayes, Dorothy Endicott, and Ronald Wyatt pay the money and Dr,. Diabolo drops all of their money into a fire. He introduces them to a waxwork figure he calls 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. The next to walk over to Atropos is Carla, then Dorothy goes next, and finally, Ronald.

Dr. Diabolo tries to make Gordon go next and Gordon grabs Atropos' scissors and starts stabbing Dr. Diabalo until he falls dead. The others run away and Gordon starts whistling and Dr. Diabolos stands up. Ronald shows himself and Dr. Diabolo figures out that Ronald wants to make a deal with him and Ronald pulls out the same lighter that Lancelot gave him.
