Stephen King has created hundreds of horror stories, and while many have been adapted, the King of horror is tough to beat when it comes to villains.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stephen King is an incredibly popular horror writer, so it makes sense that some of his villains come off better in his books than they do in the adapted shows. Debates around which is better, the book or the movie, have existed for a long time, with audiences often choosing whichever they engaged with first.
When young Gage Creed is resurrected, he kills both his neighbor Jud and his mother Rachel, but it's also implied that he indulges in cannibalism on his mother's body. The terrifying infant does not need to play games or use corny language as he is fully embodied by a bloodthirsty monster in the form of the Wendigo. For that reason, Gage Creed is a more horrifying villain in Stephen King's book than in the screen adaptations.
8 Rose the Hat - Doctor Sleep The Doctor Sleep villain Rose the Hat is a powerful cult leader who feeds on the steam of the telepathically gifted. In both the 2013 novel and the 2019 film, Doctor Sleep, Rose has powers that allow her to locate and feed on those with the "shining" gift. However, in Stephen King's book, there is a much more detailed exploration of her terrible actions.
5 Samuel Norton - The Shawshank Redemption Warden Samuel Norton is the prison warden in Shawshank and he is deeply corrupt. Despite claiming his devotion to his religion, he is cruel, greedy, and without compassion. While his film counterpart may go as far as having an inmate killed in order to keep his shady dealings hidden, he is a more cowardly and repugnant figure than the brutal and violent warden from Stephen King's novella, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.
