Line 6:
Not to be confused with the 1936 film directed by Tod Browning which is this band's namesake, nor the [[Devil Doll (film)|1964 film which has its own page]] on this wiki, nor with the female-fronted American band of the same name.
After recruiting two separate line-ups for the band - one in Venice, Italy and the other in Ljubljana, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia) - the band's first album, ''The Mark of the Beast'', was recorded in late 1987. A single copy of the album was made, which is owned by Mr. Doctor and the album has never been re-pressed (see second page quote). Soon after, Mr. Doctor began work on a second composition, ''The Girl Who Was...Death'', inspired by the 1967 TV series [[The Prisoner]]. The band's sound technician, Jurij Toni, agreed to work on the new album, on the condition that there was produced "a painting for him and some graphic works for us". Mr. Doctor agreed to this, and 500 copies of the album were pressed, each with a unique insert made by Mr. Doctor, some with his own blood. Around 150 of these were given to the audience after the second live performance of the album; the remaining copies were destroyed by Mr. Doctor afterward, with the rationalization that everyone who was interested already got a copy. (It was later reissued in various editions, as were all subsequently-released albums.)
Line 20:
According to a 2008 magazine interview, Mr. Doctor is still writing and recording music with Devil Doll, but is not interested in releasing it.

Line 70:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Mr. Doctor" is a reference to [[The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde|Mr. Hyde and Doctor Jekyll]]. He also really does have two doctorate degrees, in criminology and philosophy.
* [[Mind Screw]]: While every song/album does tell a coherent story, good luck figuring out just what the hell the story is.
** [[Mind Screwdriver]]: Or just read [https://web.archive.org/web/20150923214013/http://www.devildoll.nl/interview1.html these] [https://web.archive.org/web/20161021070916/http://www.devildoll.nl/interview2.html interviews].
* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Part 12 of ''Dies Irae'', aka "Incubus", which consists of short snippets of numerous longer pieces assembled at random to give the feeling of a nightmare. [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|It works]].
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: In ''Sacrilegium'', ''The Sacrilege of Fatal Arms'', and ''Dies Irae''.
