Favourite "Bad Guy" - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

These people(or things) are pretty good but I think King's best antagonists are the ones where they're just people- with some degree of natural evil running in them. Like "Zack McCool" from Lisey's Story or (and this one I really hate the most) Percy Whetmore from The Green Mile.I swear, even though the guy in the movie was just an actor, if I saw that guy on the street I'd love to assault him. People like that you just hate forever.

The best bad guy -- Trashcan Man, from The Stand. Hands down.

Oh lord, yes, I change my vote. That chap really didn't know what was goin' on, and at the same time, he REALLY knew what was going on. I let the Walkin Dude down, so ...emmmmmmm......Oh yeah, I'm sure he'd love an A-bomb.Pure legend.

Linoge, hands down. "Give me what I want, and I'll go away..."

Followed by (a close second) to Rose Red (yes, the house counts as a character).

And Flag third (distant though, cause of getting eated by spider-boy...)

Hmmm ... Leland Gaunt, Pennywise, and Trashcan Man for me!

Flemcodogmusic · 27th February 2008, 01:46 PM

Oooo! And what about George Stark? And Kurt Barlow? And Randall Flagg, for that matter?

Flemcodogmusic · 27th February 2008, 01:47 PM

And then there's Henry Bowers, of course ....

Right, that's enough!

Definitely Flagg, Pennywise, and Gaunt for me.

Unless you count weird things like Mists and Slicks on isolated swimming holes as "bad guys"!

Jack Torrance, even though he just went mad but he still played the bad guy in The Shining

Ace Merrill. Now he was a piece of work, as I believe they say in Maine

Charles Burnside from Black House, although strictly speaking he might be a Straub creation as much as King's. But he was really nasty.
