Although Mr. Doctor is hardly subtle about his influences, he's created some of the most unique music ever recorded in any genre.

*CompleteMonster: "[[EvilPuppeteer The Great Vorelli]]" is a sadistic stage hypnotist who proves to be far more evil than the titular dummy. Using his assistant Hugo as a test subject for his dark powers, Vorelli kills him on stage, leaving him to a slow death, then [[AndIMustScream transfers Hugo's soul into a dummy]] and enslaves him to his will for years. As part of his act, Vorelli [[MindRape psychologically torments volunteers]] just to relish their fear response, while he ridicules Hugo in front of the audience and locks him in a cage each night. Vorelli also plots to marry rich heiress Marianne, who he [[RapeAsDrama hypnotizes and rapes]], leaving her in a coma. When his [[LovelyAssistant assistant Magda]] discovers this, Vorelli incites Hugo to murder her and replaces her with another woman who he places under mind control. Gloating that he plans to kill Marianne and transfer her soul to a new dummy, Vorelli attempts to destroy Hugo for his disobedience.

** So you have vast and fearsome powers over the human mind. You're capable of hypnotizing people to do your will with a mere glance, forcing them to live their darkest nightmares, re-writing their personalities, or even taking their very '''souls''' from their bodies -- and you use these powers to ''perform in a stage show?'' One could argue that Vorelli gets off on being a DevilInPlainSight and that it's not about material gain, except that the entire movie is about him using his power to get his hands on Marianne's money.
** English's obsession with Vorelli actually put his girlfriend in danger, and honestly gift-wrapped her for the madman's devious plan.
