He's called "Mr. Death" because his entire career was based around designing better execution equipment.

It's actually a brilliant movie. In typical Morris style, Leuchter is allowed to talk for minutes at a time without interruption. It's a little creepy because Morris interviews his subjects using a teleprompter (Morris's face appears on a two way mirror over the camera, so the subject looks directly into the camera when he's talking to Morris). So it seems like Leuchter is talking directly at you, the viewer.

Definitely worth renting.
