Joss Whedon’s inspiration for the Gentlemen included: a dream he had as a child; Nosferatu; Pinhead from Hellraiser; Mr. Burns from The Simpsons; The Joker and The Seventh Seal. A stage direction in the script for the Gentlemen was: “He’s old, bone white, bald – Nosferatu meets Hellraiser by way of the Joker. Actually, he looks kind of like Mr. Burns, except that he can’t stop his rictus-grin, and his teeth are gleaming metal.” |

Wow, when I saw them the first things that came to mind were Pinhead and Mr.Burns but now that I think about it I can see the Seventh Seal influence now.
