Nicholas. It may or may not be "the devil himself", but it's definitely a demon, [[spoiler:and it appears to be linked to Hercules's life, as exorcising it kills him]].
* DepravedDwarf: Hercules is first introduced trying to grope Lucy while in her dressing room while they are both working at a burlesque house. That's not even getting into placing a curse on an innocent child to punish its mother for ''not sleeping with him''.

Lucy thought nothing of it at the time, but after months pass and Lucy leaves the dancer business behind, she gets married and does give birth to a child. As soon as he is born, the little tyke is raking his fingernails down Lucy's face, and before long he's wrecking his playroom, ripping the heads off his dolls, spitting at people, and dropping dead mice into teacups. Things get worse as people around the baby are murdered.

Joan Collins plays a former dancer named Lucy who worked at a seedy nightclub where she was in an act with a frolicking male dwarf named Hercules (George Claydon). Lucy used to flirt with Hercules — harmlessly, she thought, but he took her seriously and made a pass at her one night, which she sternly rejected. Humiliated and angry, Hercules then leaps out in front of her and declaring, “You will have a baby, a monster, an evil monster conceived in your womb, as big as I am small, and possessed by the devil himself!”
