Favorite Villain?

[browneyes09]

I know that this has most likely been asked before but I hope not. So anyway; who's your favorite villian in any of SK's novels?

For me that's not such an easy question since I haven't read enough of his novels yet. I mean I could say one person but then that might change so I'll just let you guys decide!

The clown pennywise.....in IT

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

Randall Flagg in his many incarnations for me (Marten Broadcloak, Walter O'Dim, the Man in Black etc).

But dishonourable mentions for Andres Linoge, Greg Stillson and Norman Daniels among others and the more I think about it the more great villians I can think of (Chummy Burnside, I could go on and on LOL).

Long days and pleasant nights

[pixiedark]

I would have to say that I like Randall Flag the best. Because he darkles and tincts!

[Srbo]

Flagg, hands down.

Too funny how I always thought of him as Walter more than Randall, but I love the Stand and experienced it first.

My favorite villain would have to be The Fisherman so far. From Black House. I'm not done with the book yet, but so far he is by far the most gruesome.

A little Off Topic, but I'm most disappointed in the Crimson King and Mordred as a villain.

Christine bares mentioning too though!

[gallan1]

pennywise for sure...clowns are creepy

[Black Suit]

The Overlook Hotel

[nunu_chis]

Randall Flagg in Eyes of the dragon and John Rainbird (Firestarter)

[Turd Ferguson]

Randall Flagg

[karend3]

Randall Flagg, aka Maerlyn, aka Marten, aka Roland, he can be anywhere on the beam at anytime.

[crazycrashink]

Atropos from Insomnia always gave me the heebies he was so tricky, and after just finishing IT I would have to say that Pennywise is a very effective villain!

[Drawn to Ka-tet]

We sure do have a great selection of Villains to choose from!

I think The Man in The Black Suit is pretty darn nasty- 'Come here fisher-boy!"

Today he gets my vote!

Long days and pleasant nights.

[Jax]

If I were to award medals for the three best villains they would be as follows:
Bronze would go to Annie Wilkes
Silver would go to Pennywise
The Gold would go to Flagg

[Nebulosity]

Randall Flagg easily for me.

[hemingway2z]

The one and only Stephen King of course!

[Cognac]

not really a fair question. R. F.

[Prince of Darkness]

Hi,

Definitely Randall Flagg. Watching him stroll down the highway in The Stand was the moment I met the personification of evil, and he will be with me always.

Walter Padick all the way! :smile2:

Long days and pleasant nights

[Ben E Gas]

The man in the black suit. Also Dandelo. That cruel SOB.

[luvdthestand]

Gotta go with Randall Flagg!! :eek2: Pennywise was a pretty close runner up!

[Carri]

Not really from a novel, but Linoge. He is so reasonable and effective.

[LeeAlexander]

All of the incarnations of Randall Flagg/Walter Odem would be my number one, but Pennywise the clown and Stark from The Dark Half are close seconds for me.

[tiger67]

Norm Daniels, Flagg, Mrs Carmody, Blaine the Mono (god I hated that train!), and the annoying young girl in The Stand (I forget her name, she was really mean to Tom Cullen and Nick Andros) to name a few.

[Haunted]

Randall Flagg and Dolores Claiborne's husband.

[Jax]

Randall Flagg and Dolores Claiborne's husband.

I forgot about Joe. He was a real piece of work eh?

[Matthew.Degnan]

Pennywise, brilliant character

[csk27]

Besides Flagg and Pennywise(the obvious choices), I got to go with Leland Gaunt. What a character.

[Mr. Rainey]

IT and the cop in Desperation...Still wondering why he says 'Tak!' all the time...Don't tell me though, i'll just read more later

[scottch egg.]

Barlow form Salem's Lot. He was so Brutal.

[Perse Jr.]

Ah...the Raggedy Man...(nods as he gives a thumbs up)...

[Sterling]

Although Flagg is my favorite villian, I'm sure everyone is getting tired of hearing his name so I'll say Ace Merrill.

[tillyn]

Tick-Tock Man. Not the nicest guy on the block.:eek:

[Mr. Rainey]

Ah...the Raggedy Man...(nods as he gives a thumbs up)...


Technically, he's not a villain...Not even an entity...Just a pseudopod...

[PetroX]

If I had to choose only one it would have to be Leland Gaunt (Needful Things) A true salesman. :grinning:

[Teddy Duchamp]

What a great thread!

so many to choose from!

I will also go with the most popular choice in Randall Flagg

Second - Barlow from Salems Lot (arrrrrgh!)
Third - Linoge - (s c a r y!)

and one of my favourites from a story that isint "scary" and wasnt that "evil"........Eyeball Chambers!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

What's a 'technical' villain?

Long days and pleasant nights

[SixPins]

IT: From clown to leper to giant spider to force of epic evil, this creation is one of King's finest and most haunting.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Randall Flagg hands down... from the Stand.

[Ricky]

Randall Flagg of course, followed by Pennywise and I dont know why, but the Gasher guy in Lud, and also Dandelo was very fierceful.

[MartinEden]

Flagg is an obvious choice. Others: Rainbird from Firestarter (pretty cold guy), Morgan Sloat from Talisman and Joubert from Gerald's Game. Hard to choose a favorite.

[deluxe]

1.Tak (desperation and the regulators)
2.Pennywise (IT)
3.Cujo
4.The werewolf from cycle of the werewolf
5.the waiter from the Gotham café


By the way could any body tell me the names of # 4 and 5

Not sure about the waiter but the werewolf was Reverend Lowe

[JRLauer]

Although Flagg is my favorite villian, I'm sure everyone is getting tired of hearing his name so I'll say Ace Merrill.

No, I'll say it again. Randall Flagg.

[Sawney Beane]

For me,the worst merciless evil s.o.b of all S.K books is The Wendigo.We going to ask S.K to send Roland to your world at your time and he´ll put several bullets in your ugly head you bastard.

[bio_chem06]

Trashcan man...

[Trailmix]

Randall Flagg, definitely. He's so sinister and awesome.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Oh I felt too bad for Trashcanman to think of him as a villain. I just thought he needed help... I liked the Trashcanman... poor guy was just in love with fire...

[LadyHitchhiker]

and then he was manipulated..

[trevchapple]

Sunlight Gardner & Twinner Osmond from the Talisman, Blain the Mono, and "Arnie" from Black House -The old man that the Crimson King uses.

[TozierChucks44]

Pennywise the Dancing Clown, or Mr. Bob Gray.

Or...maybe Annie Wilkes.

[deluxe]

Cujo

[Poetrychic222]

The cop from desperation. Thatwas a sick book

[blunthead]

IT and the cop in Desperation...Still wondering why he says 'Tak!' all the time...Don't tell me though, i'll just read more laterCollie Entragian was the cop's name, and always the villain I think of first. As far as "Tak!" is concerned, keep reading.

[Matthew.Degnan]

I never really liked Flagg that much, The Stand mini-series ruined him for me so I'll have to say the next best thing, Pennywise! lol

[Jack Frost]

Always been a fan of Pennywise here. Anything that can turn itself into any person's deepest fear and nightmare gets my vote.

As far as Flagg goes, (for the mini-series) I always pictured Gene Simmons from KISS in that role. Charismatic, yet soooooo sinister looking!

[LittleRedKing]

I have to go with Blaine the Mono.

He/it was just so cold and calculating with a hint of comical insanity.

[Jax]

As far as Flagg goes, (for the mini-series) I always pictured Gene Simmons from KISS in that role. Charismatic, yet soooooo sinister looking!

I never thought about that before, but now that you say it.......he would have made a great Flagg!:laugh:

[rok]

i whould haev to agree flagg in any on his incarnations is the ultimate

[michal]

Cujo

Really???? That poor sick and obviously in pain dog is your worse villain? I'd have to disagree!

To me It is the worst one - because it feeds of pain and fear.

[~Ally~]

Pennywise...closely followed by Annie Wilkes:eyebrow:.

[Felipe]

Hi! I like Morgan of Orris (evil twinner of Morgan Sloat) in ''The Talisman''.

[TPG555]

Annie Wilkes from Misery is my favorite. She gave me the creeps.

[Jojo87]

Gerald Burlingame and Rosie's husband Norman in Rose Madder. Those was really bad guys for me.

[daniel16215]

A-yuh and he wannt afraid of usin his fists if someone crossed him

[daniel16215]

I know he didn't play a big role but Osmond's son was super freakey as well as the "Elroy-Thing" ("But you can trust ole Elroy...growl... little chicken.. He ain't gonna hurt you too bad you'll be all right... Growl)

[Sony02]

Randall Flagg & Mordred
