So c`mon guys who makes your toes curl?, who gave you sleepless nights?, who made you wanna scream? Kings biggest and baddest villain award goes to.......
Well for me it has to be IT, aka PENNYWISE aka BOB GRAY etc I mean that character ripped kids apart, murdered and mutilated and terrified. As bad as it gets surely,,,,, or do you guys know different?

Hi;

I'm still thinking!
Pennywise was a good one, also the guy who played the villian in Needful Things.

Still thinking.

Pennywise also gets my vote. I never had an aversion to clowns and I still don't, but after reading IT, I gained a whole new appreciation for those who do.

weathervane, I agree about Max von Sydow. I think that he was well cast as Leland Guant. I wish I could say the same about IT. The kids were OK but the adult cast was disappointing, except for Tim Curry.

Absolutely did Tim Curry get it just right or what. The made for TV adaptation was overall dissapointing but God I hate clowns these days. Thanks Tim. lol.

Can't say. Every time I pick up a King book, I get lost in it and it is the scariest. Jack Nickelson in The Shining was a grea movie villain.

Dandelo from the last Dark Tower novel had me shaking in my space boots. I had to get back up out of bed and turn the light on. Of course, Gage from Pet Semetary made my spine curl. Watching some undead kid take out Herman Munster with a scalpel seriously made me think twice about where I buried things.

Here I go again, hard to name just one. Randall Flagg, Penneywise, enity in Desperation, Leland Gaunt, J Nicholson in the Shining, nasty guy in Talisman, Gray in Dreamcatcher. Many more that I can't think of right now.
