YMMV / The Twilight Zone (1959) S3E9: "Deaths-Head Revisited"

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Has Becker really come back to haunt Gunter Lütze? Or is he experiencing some kind of guilt-based hallucination from a long-repressed conscience? Considering Lütze is shown to be nothing but a cold-blooded bastard, the latter interpretation is hard to believe.
• Catharsis Factor: The entire episode is an exercise in this trope, as we see a truly loathsome character get their long-overdue comeuppance.
• Complete Monster: Gunther Lütze is a former Nazi concentration camp captain at Dachau, described in the opening narration as "an animal whose function in life was to give pain". Lütze revisits Germany, and plays a game where he mentally torments a woman at a hotel who recognizes him and is utterly terrified. After this, Lütze visits Dachau, reminiscing about his atrocities and flashing back to the times when he had innocent victims hanged, shot, or experimented on as if those were the best years of his life, until he is confronted by Dachau's "caretaker", a former inmate named Becker. Lütze had murdered so many he can't even initially remember he actually killed Becker years ago before he is confronted by the ghosts of his victims. As the ending narration states, he is representative of a time "when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard", into which they threw away their conscience.
• Love to Hate: Oscar Beregi as Gunther Lütze manages to convey one of The Twilight Zone's most repulsive characters especially well. He's an awful human being, and Beregi conveys this in both overt and subtle ways; simultaneously a hammy lunatic and a soft yet malevolent sadist. There is zero Cry for the Devil to be had, as even when he's being punished, he continues to rant, and this keeps the audience sympathies firmly with Becker.
