Dr. Lorre is a highly disturbed and cynical sinister psychotic little man who enjoys tormenting others and carrying out insane experiments. He is also highly self-conscious and a very depressed individual, often lamenting his lonely life and questioning why people always run away from him, while completely ignoring the fact that his own amoral actions are what drives people away, just like the psychotic character. by Peter Lorre in the 1940 film Stranger on the Third Floor kinda creepy guy.
