A Closeup of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise in It 2017
Stephen King has created some of the most iconic villains in literary history, with his antagonists spanning the gamut from evil interdimensional Lovecraftian deities, to rabid dogs, to crazed fans. The villains were a strength in many of his earliest works and have continued to be both memorable and chilling across the wide range of stories he has written throughout his career.
5 Blaine is essentially Thomas the Tank Engine if Thomas became mentally unwell, loved riddles, and was intent on taking his own life, along with the lives of the individuals traveling aboard him. He is a truly bizarre and fascinating character who poses a significant challenge for Roland and the ka-tet, and who manages to stand out in a series that features the more powerful and prominent Randall Flagg and Crimson King.
Kurt Barlow is a Type One vampire, which is the rarest and most powerful type of vampire in Stephen King books. 6 The Crimson King The Dark Tower, Insomnia, Black House The Crimson King is arguably the ultimate Stephen King villain as a demonic entity who seeks to destroy the multiverse. He is the overarching antagonist of The Dark Tower series, along with appearances in Insomnia and Black House.
He not only garners public attention, but also manages to fool many voters into thinking that he is just an everyday person who will best represent their interests better than traditional politicians. Meanwhile, Stillson is involved in blackmail and physically and emotionally torturing delinquent teenagers to"correct" their behavior, and Johnny Smith sees that the world will be plunged into nuclear war if Stillson becomes President of the United States.
3 Jack Torrance The Shining Close Due to how much Jack Nicholson's delivery of the line "Here's Johnny!" has been parodied, it can be easy to forget what a frightening villain Jack Torrance truly is in The Shining. Jack is a man with preexisting and unresolved issues that are amplified and twisted by the evil of the Overlook Hotel.
