See for imagery of clockworks, associated with the mystic and demonic—but keep in mind that demons are multivalent in a Hellboy movie.. Note also Johann Krauss as ectoplasm usually contained in what looks like a tweaked deep-diving outfit from an emphatically pre-SCUBA era. From one viewing, Erlich had the impression that things negative were often associated with robotic clockwork and the ickily organic—but that is no more than an impression and will have to be checked out on the DVD (by someone other than Erlich).
