The Crimson King is also known as the Lord of Spiders, so you should consider that when thinking about the spiders in the Mist, Pennywise's true form, etc. Also: Randall Flagg is the same character as the Man in Black in the Dark Tower.

It is connected to every other book in some way. He has an entire universe that is all part of his work. and everything is connected to everything other.
If you delve deeper in King’s catalogue you can find scarier and more interesting villains. Desperation comes to mind. Edited to add Flagg from The Eyes of the Dragon or Percy from The Green Mile. Both more realistic evil.
Flagg from "The Eyes of the Dragon" is the same Flagg from "The Stand" and "The Dark Tower". He's almost like Saruman from Kingverse, you know, not the biggest villain of all, but a major threat anyway
The scariest monsters are people, even in Stephen King novels. He has a knack for creating scary creatures but he has a talent for creating horrifying people.
Yeah, like all the cruel people in “Carrie”. When they were promoting Carrie back in 1976, the ads you would see would portray her as the villain, the “bad guy” of the movie when in reality, the true villains/monsters are the bullies that constantly torture poor Carrie. Especially the psychopathic Chris, that bitch had issues and would vent her venom and sickness on Carrie. We are more likely to encounter a “Chris” (I know I have) in our lifetimes rather than a Pennywise or a vampire, but they are all equally scary.
The little boy in Pet Semetary should have won an award for his role as Gage. To go from playing a sweet toddler one minute, to playing a maniacal almost Chucky like character the next, I can't name one child actor today that can do that.
The book also makes it clear that while the bat gave Cujo rabies it also causes him to be possessed by a demon that has been in Castle Rock for a long time.
Been a S. King fan since the 70s when I read the 'Dead Zone' at 14 years old. After that, I have read every one he has written before and after. The Dark Tower novels have been my personal favs.
I've also been a fan since the late 70's early 80's. Salems lot was the first movie of his I watched and scared the hell out of me. I'm currently on a mission to read all of his books. Just finished Christine, and full dark no stars. Still need to of the books from the dark tower series but have read the first one, that will probably be my next conquest.
I agree, Dark Tower is amazing. I just started the graphic novels.... Great stuff. There is no movie though... There never has been a dark tower movie. It does not exist. It never existed. It may exist some day, but not today!
It always made me cry when he was injected and started wailing. I know he wasnt a real baby and was possessed by an evil spirit, but he just sounded so heartbreaking. Poor little thing.
The Mic Mac's weren't cannibals. They quit using the burial ground because it had been possessed by the true Antagonist of Pet Sematary the "Wendigo". =_=
You forgot all the cruel people in “Carrie”. Monsters do come in all shapes and guises. They don’t have to be vampires, witches, grey-widow spiders, or supernatural clowns. Unfortunately, some of ‘em are your everyday “people” you bump into on the streets and whom you don’t have an inkling of the evil they carry inside.
@@tomstanziola1982 Yeah, I was bullied a bit, it wasn’t to the extent of Carrie, but even a little bit hurts you. It would’ve been great to be telekinetic, then I would’ve shown them a thing or two.
The talent of Stephen King is tapping into the universal experiences we all face. From Bullying to puberty to waking nightmares, he gets to the core of these topics and it's the empathetic link he creates that drives it all home.
My friend and I actually found a 1979 Rodan at a Goodwill just sitting there... My friend saw it, and made a B-line for it... Nobody, knew what it was, but my friend knew it was a Japanese toy... We looked it up, because I thought it looked like a Godzilla toy... My friend, held onto that Rodan, and then sold it for a lot of money... He even has the 1979 Godzilla... Yeah that Rodan is super rare. Japan Mattel didn't even release it Japan, only in the U.S... A lot of Japanese people were pissed about it...
When you talk about Dr. Sleep you're talking about the movie, the book is very different and Rose is much worse in the book and of course the Overlook Hotel does not exist anymore. The book is way better than the movie.
Hard agree on this, if you're gone make a "s.k. monsters" list of any quality the first thing you have to do is stick to the books, just look how "thinner" turned out as a movie...
He is not a Horror film character but the Guard from The Green Mile is just as horrific when he deliberately didn't wet the foam for the execution of the Frenchman
You know when you said that these werecats have only one weakness at the 3:09 mark I seriously thought for a second there you meant "getting booped" on their noses would be their one and only weakness. Pfft! lol!
I call bs. Randal Flagg wore his hood to keep from having his thoughts read by the red king, nyarlathotep WAS telepathy according to Lovecraft, so why would the embodiment of telepathy need help to hide its thoughts?
I will never forget watching pet cemetery as a kid gave me nightmares for day's 😂. That scene where the little kid comes back to life and kills the old man is just horrifying. One of the scariest movie's I've have ever watched growing up.
She had cool powers that made her similar to a psychic, energy vampire she-demon, not unlike a succubus. The character was not crazy and evil enough. She should've been a lot more insane. She was just a sociopath who was extremely dangerous because of her magical powers. But she should've been way more powerful and stronger. If Rose the Hat was more psychotic and well-armed, she would've been extremely brutal and ruthless in a fight, one of Stephen King's deadliest villainess antagonists.
Eh, the actress looks okay. She did a good job playing the part, but she was not porn actress hot by any means. But that's alright though. Rose the Hat is not meant to be that kind of character anyway. Besides, if someone as gorgeous as say Alexandra Daddario had played her, the character may have been pleasing to look at but not portrayed very well.
My massive Tibetan Mastiff, "Muzzy", earned the nickname "Cujo" from almost everyone who met him. His solid frame and dark black and mahogany coat, similar to Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers, along with his fearsome demeanor and deep growl earned him that title. He never even barked at children or quieter adults though. Sadly, as with most companions we care so much about, Muzzy only spent a short 10 yrs on Earth. His ashes are next to his portrait and a short poetic quote by George Crabbe in an alcove of my home.
I've beej interested in Tibetan Mastiffs for years noe,Caucausiah Shepherds to. I have an American Bulldog and a Pit bull. When I watch horror my pack keeps me company. Have fun dog lover..
Ever since seeing Man's Best Friend, I became interested in Tibetan Mastiffs. Ended up "inheriting" one from my brother. She lived to be 14, and her ashes are in a box under my computer desk, where she used to hide during thunderstorms.
Might only be known by true Stephen King fans, but Walter from The Dark Tower is just another name that Randall Flagg goes by in the various realms he frequents. A being of truly terrifying power.
Agreed! I feel like the villain Tak is underrated but VERY interesting, I almost tended to think that Tak is somehow related to Pennywise and the Crimson King more so than was given credit for.
Black house was not part of the Dark Tower series... It is a sequel to The Talisman and both books were cowritten with Peter Straub. Though there are references to the Dark Tower, many of his books reference each other. Talisman and Black House are worth read, and Talisman is being adapted for a show by the Duffer Brothers. Duffer Brothers are the show runners of Stranger Things, who if you've seen it, you understand their reverence of Stephen King!
Loved The Talisman (and you know Hollywood is going to screw that adaptation up) but I was not impressed with Black House. Same with The Shining and Dr. Sleep (liked the novel 'The Shining' but not the movie, didn't like the book 'Dr. Sleep' but liked the movie. Weird)
Talisman/Black House/"The Territories" are clearly tightly tied to the DT - They're clearly not taking place in either "Midworld", "Endworld", or "Keystone world" but it's blatantly obvious that they happen in a world "right next door" to all three. There's been more than a few hints that the Talisman is, in itself, an "incarnation" of the tower (somewhat like the "UR-dog, Rover" that's mentioned as being an "alternate form" of the tower in another tale), and that Jack bringing it out of the Agincourt (the "Black Hotel") may have either set the events of the DT series in motion, or if not actually kicking them off, made those events possible. In fact, as I recall, Parkus says almost exactly that near the end of Black House - Not in so many words, but there's a strong implication that Midworld wouldn't have gone to hell in the handbasket it did if Jack had never touched the Talisman. There was supposed to be a third installment of the Jack Sawyer tales, but with the death of Straub, the latest thing I've heard is that Steve has no plans to even make the attempt - though I think he ought to - Straub made very little actual "contribution" to the two volumes that have been released, aside from his nasty sadistic streak, which is what drove me away from his "on his own" works years ago. It's fairly easy to tell which parts of each book Straub wrote: Anyplace you see suffering/misery for no other reason than "let's make something suffer", you're looking at Straub's "contribution". The Oatley Tap and Sunlight Home segments in Talisman were two sections that jump to mind as being clearly Straub's work, along with the "weird stuff" (The dancer hanging by her nipples, in particular) in Point Venuti - Likewise in Black House, the "discovery" (By we, the readers) of Irma Freneau's body in the "Welcome to Coulee country" section, or Henry Leyden's death scene. Sheer "Let's make something suffer with no actual reason for doing so beyond trying to play the "gross-out" card" is pretty much a Straub trademark.
1:16, Kurt Barlow. 2:56, Were cats. 4:40, The Mist Creatures. 6:11, Pennywise. Jesus that scared me! Lol! 7:36, The Night Flier. 9:07, Gage Creed. 10:58, Rose The Hat. 12:18, The Creep. 13:34, Cujo. 15:02, Randall Flagg. 16:32, The Dark Tower 17:46, The Crimson King.
Fun fact: in the book they talk about Cujo having Rabies but also speculate whether he is possessed by the then dead Frank Dodd, the serial killer from Deadzone.
Another one, the cat from hell. It seems to be more a spirit of vengeance than a corporeal being, and it has one of the most amazing kills in all horror.
Shouldn't the Pet Sematary entry have gone to the Wendigo? You know, the thing that caused Gage, among others, to become evil undead as they are? Also... Honorable mention for Andre Linoge?
Pet Sematary came about because King and his fam, one of the kids was just 2 or 3 at the time, moved to a house that was on a highway. As they were moving in, a huge tanker truck screamed past. Boom. Story was all but written down. Disappointed that Crouch End isn't on this list. Everything in that story could be on this list, from the cat in the window to the train. Holy flerking schnitt, I didn't feel right after reading that one. Also, if you go read Cujo, you'll end up feeling pretty sympathetic toward that dog. Nothing that happened was Cujo's fault and I just felt so sorry for him by the end. Poor boy. Poor everybody.
I've loved crouch end, the way it can mess with your head in an oblique way, and cujo and Christine are the only s.k. books I can't bring myself to read
Ummmthe guy who played Barlow was in Trueblood too. As Barlow. I am just now putting this together, wow man. Edit: Rutger Hauer played Nial, Sookie's grandad and the Fae king, while WARLOW was the fae/vamp antagonist, whoopsie daisy. Shout out Sean
The second adaptation felt bland and the only thing I liked about it was Marlow played by Hauer. Maybe because I was a kid younger than the one in the '79 version, it got stuck in my nightmares forever.
That little creature with the scalpel got to me when I read that. The idea that there could be this psychotic little abomination running around cutting people's lives short with a tool that's meant to heal, not hurt, just because he enjoys the suffering of humans (and the more suffering, the more damage to our world, the better), that's scary. And that little nugget King threw in there about him having Gage Creed's shoe as one of his trophies...outstanding. Steve must have been grinning when he put that in, thinking, "This'll _really_ get 'em!" It's little touches like that which made me a King stan for life.
You're going to need to read pretty well EVERYTHING King has done - Aside from his shorts (and some of them, too) - ALL of his material comes back to DT in one way or another.
You can tell whoever made this didn’t create an original script. He literally goes from explaining that Pennywise was defeated by the losers club only to come back 27 years later to saying it again with slightly different words two seconds later.
Leland Gaunt - Was always too me one of the most terrifying of King's creations a more twisted version of Mephistophocles. On a side note - That massive creature from Graveyard Shift was also pretty uhm deadly, I remember as a kid watching Cat's Eye and thinking that little troll creature was terrifying.
I always thought Leland Gaunt would be on this list - from Needful Things. Agree that it should have been mentioned that Flagg appeared across multiple books (Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, The Dark Tower), Christine was a pretty nasty villain in her own right.
I couldn't actually finish that one because the paranoia that each character felt was too much. Also Christine wasn't acting alone. It was her original owner who was also causing mayhem through her.
sleepwalkers is so cheesy but ill always love that movie. I saw it when I was little and it creeped me out lol 😆watching it today is hilarious (as well as children of the corn) but love them
what creep me out as a kid watching that movie after pascow got hit by that truck he woke up conscious scared louis. louis asking him how you know my name and then when he appeared at his house at night vanishing and then popping back up
The insidiousness of the Tommyknockers was unnerving, giving people heightened powers and euphoric feelings while slowly corrupting and rotting them. Then there is the unstoppable force of the time-eaters, the Langoliers. That narrative is like classic Twilight Zone, where the horror lies in the characters being lost to the world as we know it. And a final mention must go to Annie Wilkes from Misery, as the most terrifying monster is not the one you can easily dismiss due to it's supernatural/fantastical origins but rather the one that most conforms to reality.
Dolores Claiborne will always be my favorite story of King's. I was scarred by IT when I was a kid and it just so happened that when I saw it, my room was circus themed lol over night my parents had to get rid of everything clown related (my harlequin dolls, my hand made clown blankets and pillows, my clock and piggy bank, so many other things). All because my grandparents fell asleep with the TV on scifi channel & I watched the made for TV movie of a killer clown. I loved my grandparents but their house was creepy af. They had a light on all the time in the dining room, down the hall from their bedroom. I slept in between them as a kid when I'd visit and the light was in a red stained glass lantern. It would cast a blood red glow down the hall, which was lined with portraits my grandma did of my great grandparents, and just into their bedroom. I still get creeped out thinking about it.
I'm sure some kids had the same reaction after seeing Poltergeist (1982). I haven't seen the remake, so don't know how scary or if it even has the scene.
That was in the mini-series remake of Salem's Lot. Rutger Hauer also played the main vampire antagonist LOTHOS, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( the movie before the series)
Not bad although since you specifically mentioned you were going to go with the novel adaptations I would have liked to see the theme throughout Cujo of the ghost of a serial killer from the town's history possessing the rabid dog and helping twist it into the monster it became. A plotline which exists in the novel but not the book.
I think both Stephen King and I would agree that the most horrifying creation ever to walk this Earth would be: Donald Trump and the GOP. Yes, I went there............
I always wanted to see a film adaptation of the short story "Popsy" from Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Lots of the stories in that book have been made into movies. Great book 😈
@@CeeJayThe13th Spoiler........ A guy kidnaps a little boy (described as looking weak) to sell to another party. On the way the boy tells the man about his Popsy (grandfather) that he was at the mall with before he was kidnapped. He tells him Popsy will be mad 😠, he's strong 💪, fast and can fly 🦇. Popsy lands on the van, hurts the guy, and the last thing the kidnapper sees is the little boy drinking his blood while having his hair stroked with grandfatherly love by his Popsy. They were vampires. 💀 At least that's my condensed version of it. Worth a read and people like watching revenge, suspense/thriller, drama, horror movies. 😁 hope
@@mikeenglish2318, oh I remember! I guess it didn't make a huge impression on me but I remember. I always wanted to see 'The Ten O'clock People' filmed. Maybe not as a full movie but a short film or something.
@@CeeJayThe13th Hell yeah! It would work well as an anthology movie or as an episode like the new Creepshow series. If you haven't watched the show yet, it is definitely worth a peek. The best thing is Stephen King already has ties to it.
@@chesspunk489 King built Renfield up to the point that five seconds was almost too much. I mean, c'mon, looking in the mirror and seeing NOTHING pissing blood in the urinal next to you?? Plus the short story made it clear from Renfields dialog that the only reason Dees wasn't on the menu was that Renfield had already gotten his fill. I like this type of character.
I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep... I was so hoping that Ewen McGregor would "Hello There.." in the movie.. but .. was a great movie and loved watching Obi Wan again :D
Tobe Hooper switched the physical descriptions of Straker (in the book tall, ghoulish and Bald) and Barlow (dark, handsome and debonair) for some reason, in the remake Rutger Hauer is a more book accurate mid European noble man
I'm a HUGE fan of the channel, but in the Steven King novel the town is called Jerusalem's Lot. I've read the novel around 11 times, and there's just something about the atmosphere and tension King's work inspires. The TNT version of the novel was (IMO) a pretty good adaptation of the source material too, although I wasn't a big fan of turning the father into one of Barlow's "minions" because the Callahan character actually becomes one of the most important characters in *The Dark Tower* series starting from the 5th novel and on.
"the blood soaked climax of the novel has Rose claiming one victim after another". I don't think someone actually read Doctor Sleep if he thinks this is how the book plays out. With the exception of the little kid, the True Knot are pretty weak villains and arent able to kill anyone.
That sounds more like claiming to have read the book after watching the movie trailer, one of the things that surprised me in Dr sleep is that they get off pretty easy, defeating the "true"
@@ana_derol Agreed. I think its a great book and have revisited it a few times, but the stakes are very low and Danny and Abbi handled the True pretty easily
Randal Flagg, The Good Man, The Stranger, Flagg the Kings Magician, The Man in Black, Martin Broadcloak is a inter world traveling minion of the Crimson King and one hell of an evil character. He's thought to have ties or influence with many if not all of King's creations.
Ok...but what about the ancient ones from Revival? Out of all the stories that Stephen King has written, that one has stuck with me the most. The constant sense of dread was palpable, and it pays off in a horrifying fashion in the closing chapters.
Salem's Lot, IT and Pet Sematary are King's TRUE horror novels. Definitely in my top 5 favorites. The novel Cujo was so sad because it gave personality to Cujo in his innocence and what it was thinking and how it began to experience its change from a dog who loved its family to a mindless beast.
I would love to see a really good adaptation of Needful Things. I always think of Leland Gaunt straight away when somebody mentions Stephen King characters/villains!
Needful things is a movie from the 80s, I saw it on On Demand recently, and the did a pretty good job! Gaunt was cast very well... and the lady farmer, the sherrif, the boy who wants the baseball cards, the waitress... it's worth watching!😊😊
I've been reading Stephen King since I was a kid got a collection of his books, why I'm his "NUMBER ONE FAN" don't you know. 😂I found most of his book's are intertwined .. example : '11/22/63' / IT, 'IT' / DESPERATION / TOMMY KNOCKERS and RIDING THE BULLET / CHRISTINE. Read the books they're a thousand X's better. Now I patiently await for the whammy that ties em all in together he might just surprise us all with one too, hmm, you know what I find funny? he sleeps with the light's 😂. Thank you for the video GOD bless you and yours peace out friend.
@craig thomas This is true that he specifically wrote it for the screen at the beginning, but later he actually wrote a short story form of Sleepwalkers that was the novella form of the screenplay. It's actually a lot better than the movie's script.
@@incubustimelord5947 no, it wasn't. A three second Google search (plus just being a 30+ year fan/collector of anything King i can find) disproves this claim.
The entire 'Battered Women' trilogy is a ride through mental health. Dolores Claiborne, Rose Madder and Gerald's Game, I've only read two of the three but they don't hold back.
Could never sympathise with IT as an interesting and intimating creature. The fact it was supposed to be such a powerful being ans got owned by a bunch of kids always destroyed my interest in it
There was perfectly good reason behind it. Fear gave him power, they weren’t afraid so he lost power, and as it stated in the book, every being must abide by the rules of the form it inhabits so whatever form he took came the weaknesses with it.
That was kind of the point. Kids have the most powerful imagination which IT uses against them by embodying their fears. But it can also work the other way. Which was the purpose of the ritual of chud. Weilding the power of imagination against the cosmic entity or letting it wield it against you.
Ok so 1st of all the film the Mist is complete shite and the ending is garbage. Should have stuck to the story book ending as much more thought provoking, 2nd The 2017 version of IT is shite Tim Curry is Pennywise and will always be. 3rd you seem to repeat yourself a lot is this to prolong the video ? During the IT part of your list you give the same information twice just in a different order.......4th What have Cannibals got to do with Pet Cemetery ? It was a ancient Indian Burial Ground .
The DARK TOWER movie SUCKED! They threw in to much. An tried to push 8 books in less them 1 and half hours. The story needs to be played out over 3 or 4 movies or a mini series.
I refused to watch tha dark tower movie because it was SOOOOOOOO UNFAITHFUL to tha Source Material.. they had enuff to do a lord of tha rings type thang an blew it on tha first one smh

Yeah, like all the cruel people in “Carrie”. When they were promoting Carrie back in 1976, the ads you would see would portray her as the villain, the “bad guy” of the movie when in reality, the true villains/monsters are the bullies that constantly torture poor Carrie.

The kid in Creepshow was lucky - he had a Shogun Warriors Rodan figure - that is insanely rare.
My friend and I actually found a 1979 Rodan at a Goodwill just sitting there... My friend saw it, and made a B-line for it... Nobody, knew what it was, but my friend knew it was a Japanese toy... We looked it up, because I thought it looked like a Godzilla toy... My friend, held onto that Rodan, and then sold it for a lot of money... He even has the 1979 Godzilla... Yeah that Rodan is super rare. Japan Mattel didn't even release it Japan, only in the U.S... A lot of Japanese people were pissed about it...
That is Joe Hill, Stephen Kings son
The 00's remake of Salem's Lot is a underrated mini series imo.
I agree with that. It had a lot more from the book in it.
Blackdragon6 who will win the fight dr strange ( marvel ) or rose the hat ( doctor sleep ) and why?
@@joshwright4799 Dr Strange do to extensive knowledge of magic. Tbh he's basically a walking DeusEx Machina imo. 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly with Rob Lowe ....I honestly was afraid of that version
All these remakes of books and I can't get a sequel to Master and Commander!
When you talk about Dr. Sleep you're talking about the movie, the book is very different and Rose is much worse in the book and of course the Overlook Hotel does not exist anymore. The book is way better than the movie.
Yep. Couldn't agree more. And it expands on the history a lot more
Hard agree on this, if you're gone make a "s.k. monsters" list of any quality the first thing you have to do is stick to the books, just look how "thinner" turned out as a movie...
@@ana_derol Yep! Although a lot of people are now re-evaluating that one! Not me.....
He is not a Horror film character but the Guard from The Green Mile is just as horrific when he deliberately didn't wet the foam for the execution of the Frenchman
That scene scarred me for life I stg.
Many of King's most disturbing and vile monsters are the human ones.
I think Andre Linoge from Storm of the Century should have gotten at least a mention on this list. He was simply terrifying.
Live in lust turn to dust, live in sin come on in.
Thank you made me remember minibus from storm of the century give me what I want and ill go away also forgot the buds newsman in the langoliers
I mention linogue and Bronson pinchots businessman character in the langoliers

Randall Flagg has been hinted at, even by Stephen King himself, as being Nyarlhotep from the Cthulhu Mythos.
badass
Well, that means Mordred was stronger that Cthulhu, since he easily killed Flagg
@@CorbCorbin not quite. But I still can't believe Hollywood thought it was a good idea to make one movie about the Dark Tower
Designed after him not being him like lorewise. Theres a big difference,his lore in kings world is very different.
I call bs. Randal Flagg wore his hood to keep from having his thoughts read by the red king, nyarlathotep WAS telepathy according to Lovecraft, so why would the embodiment of telepathy need help to hide its thoughts?
Love This channel. Shows me stuff I’ve seen as a kid that can’t remember the name of
I will never forget watching pet cemetery as a kid gave me nightmares for day's 😂. That scene where the little kid comes back to life and kills the old man is just horrifying. One of the scariest movie's I've have ever watched growing up.
It was Zelda, the insane and deformed sister of Rachel that sent shivers down my spine.
The mist terrified me. When I became a dad I couldn't watch it at all anymore. The ending is to much for me now
Fully understandable, dmurphy1578. You deserve at least a thumbs up for your comment, man.
That was such a great ending.
The actual ending from the original novella is the opposite of the ending in the movie.
I love the movie adaptation right up until the end. Then it just made me angry. I preferred the book ending.
Am I the only one who thinks that Rose was the worst Antagonist in Stephen king Movies ?
She had cool powers that made her similar to a psychic, energy vampire she-demon, not unlike a succubus. The character was not crazy and evil enough. She should've been a lot more insane. She was just a sociopath who was extremely dangerous because of her magical powers. But she should've been way more powerful and stronger. If Rose the Hat was more psychotic and well-armed, she would've been extremely brutal and ruthless in a fight, one of Stephen King's deadliest villainess antagonists.
Rose hat was lame
The Dark Tower's Walter is actually Flagg from The Stand.
Love the keywork avi. One amoung the fence!
Funny fact, I have a cat that looks exactly like church from the old pet cemetery
That’s more a statement than a fact really
So do I. She's buried in the back yard of my old house and flat as the road I peeled her off.
"Rose the Hat", is hot as 400 hells!!
Eh, the actress looks okay. She did a good job playing the part, but she was not porn actress hot by any means. But that's alright though. Rose the Hat is not meant to be that kind of character anyway. Besides, if someone as gorgeous as say Alexandra Daddario had played her, the character may have been pleasing to look at but not portrayed very well.
I'm pretty sure the dad was warned not to bury the cat in pet cemetery and he did it anyway along with his kid.
No $hit

Reggie Nalder played Barlow in the original tv series of Salems lot not Doug Bradley.
But Doug Bradley voiced him in the radio show.. it's in the video.
He is talking about the british version
Why in Pet Sematary is there not a fence to keep their children safe. What were the parents thinking?
For me, it's Reggie Nalder as Barlow in Tobe Hooper's version of "Salem's Lot."
Rutger Hauer’s version in the remake was closer to the version in the book.
My massive Tibetan Mastiff, "Muzzy", earned the nickname "Cujo" from almost everyone who met him. His solid frame and dark black and mahogany coat, similar to Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers, along with his fearsome demeanor and deep growl earned him that title. He never even barked at children or quieter adults though. Sadly, as with most companions we care so much about, Muzzy only spent a short 10 yrs on Earth. His ashes are next to his portrait and a short poetic quote by George Crabbe in an alcove of my home.
I've beej interested in Tibetan Mastiffs for years noe,Caucausiah Shepherds to. I have an American Bulldog and a Pit bull. When I watch horror my pack keeps me company. Have fun dog lover..
Pete rhein who will win the fight blaine the mono ( the dark tower ) or green goblin ( marvel ) and why?
One of my Irish wolfhounds is named Cujo.
Ever since seeing Man's Best Friend, I became interested in Tibetan Mastiffs. Ended up "inheriting" one from my brother. She lived to be 14, and her ashes are in a box under my computer desk, where she used to hide during thunderstorms.
Wasn't Randel Flag in the Dark Tower series as well?
Yes he is, he goes by Walter Padick.
Might only be known by true Stephen King fans, but Walter from The Dark Tower is just another name that Randall Flagg goes by in the various realms he frequents. A being of truly terrifying power.
Also would have liked to see Tak from Desperation and the Bachman adaptation The Regulators.
Personal favorite 👌
Agreed! I feel like the villain Tak is underrated but VERY interesting, I almost tended to think that Tak is somehow related to Pennywise and the Crimson King more so than was given credit for.
Black house was not part of the Dark Tower series... It is a sequel to The Talisman and both books were cowritten with Peter Straub. Though there are references to the Dark Tower, many of his books reference each other. Talisman and Black House are worth read, and Talisman is being adapted for a show by the Duffer Brothers. Duffer Brothers are the show runners of Stranger Things, who if you've seen it, you understand their reverence of Stephen King!
Loved The Talisman (and you know Hollywood is going to screw that adaptation up) but I was not impressed with Black House. Same with The Shining and Dr. Sleep (liked the novel 'The Shining' but not the movie, didn't like the book 'Dr. Sleep' but liked the movie. Weird)
@@guibox3 Duffer brother treat King like their Lord and Savior... Hopefully they do a good job!
Talisman/Black House/"The Territories" are clearly tightly tied to the DT - They're clearly not taking place in either "Midworld", "Endworld", or "Keystone world" but it's blatantly obvious that they happen in a world "right next door" to all three. There's been more than a few hints that the Talisman is, in itself, an "incarnation" of the tower (somewhat like the "UR-dog, Rover" that's mentioned as being an "alternate form" of the tower in another tale), and that Jack bringing it out of the Agincourt (the "Black Hotel") may have either set the events of the DT series in motion, or if not actually kicking them off, made those events possible. In fact, as I recall, Parkus says almost exactly that near the end of Black House - Not in so many words, but there's a strong implication that Midworld wouldn't have gone to hell in the handbasket it did if Jack had never touched the Talisman. There was supposed to be a third installment of the Jack Sawyer tales, but with the death of Straub, the latest thing I've heard is that Steve has no plans to even make the attempt - though I think he ought to - Straub made very little actual "contribution" to the two volumes that have been released, aside from his nasty sadistic streak, which is what drove me away from his "on his own" works years ago. It's fairly easy to tell which parts of each book Straub wrote: Anyplace you see suffering/misery for no other reason than "let's make something suffer", you're looking at Straub's "contribution". The Oatley Tap and Sunlight Home segments in Talisman were two sections that jump to mind as being clearly Straub's work, along with the "weird stuff" (The dancer hanging by her nipples, in particular) in Point Venuti - Likewise in Black House, the "discovery" (By we, the readers) of Irma Freneau's body in the "Welcome to Coulee country" section, or Henry Leyden's death scene. Sheer "Let's make something suffer with no actual reason for doing so beyond trying to play the "gross-out" card" is pretty much a Straub trademark.

Is Cujo a horror version of Old Yeller?
More like what could've happened, if they did not put him down.
king is a plagiarist,,
It could be taken that way...
Fun fact: in the book they talk about Cujo having Rabies but also speculate whether he is possessed by the then dead Frank Dodd, the serial killer from Deadzone.
Shut up...just shut up.
Another one, the cat from hell. It seems to be more a spirit of vengeance than a corporeal being, and it has one of the most amazing kills in all horror.
Shouldn't the Pet Sematary entry have gone to the Wendigo? You know, the thing that caused Gage, among others, to become evil undead as they are?
Also... Honorable mention for Andre Linoge?
Pet Sematary came about because King and his fam, one of the kids was just 2 or 3 at the time, moved to a house that was on a highway. As they were moving in, a huge tanker truck screamed past. Boom. Story was all but written down.
Disappointed that Crouch End isn't on this list. Everything in that story could be on this list, from the cat in the window to the train. Holy flerking schnitt, I didn't feel right after reading that one.
Also, if you go read Cujo, you'll end up feeling pretty sympathetic toward that dog. Nothing that happened was Cujo's fault and I just felt so sorry for him by the end. Poor boy. Poor everybody.
I cant watch the movie,cos my heart breaks for cujo.
I've loved crouch end, the way it can mess with your head in an oblique way, and cujo and Christine are the only s.k. books I can't bring myself to read

The 1979 version of Salem's lot was less faithful to the King novel. That said, it is far better than the Rob Lowe remake.
Ehh...
toby hooper did it beter than kings novel
the best creepy scenes of salems lot are from hooper not from king,,,the boys at the window,,the brother danny in the coffin
The second adaptation felt bland and the only thing I liked about it was Marlow played by Hauer. Maybe because I was a kid younger than the one in the '79 version, it got stuck in my nightmares forever.
@@leandrotarsia7212 I couldn't agree more.
Re-reading Insomnia right now :) I'm a big fan of King's Dark Tower epos and everything connected to it
That little creature with the scalpel got to me when I read that. The idea that there could be this psychotic little abomination running around cutting people's lives short with a tool that's meant to heal, not hurt, just because he enjoys the suffering of humans (and the more suffering, the more damage to our world, the better), that's scary. And that little nugget King threw in there about him having Gage Creed's shoe as one of his trophies...outstanding. Steve must have been grinning when he put that in, thinking, "This'll _really_ get 'em!" It's little touches like that which made me a King stan for life.
You're going to need to read pretty well EVERYTHING King has done - Aside from his shorts (and some of them, too) - ALL of his material comes back to DT in one way or another.
I totally forgot Dale Midkiff was in Pet Cemetary. I loved Time Trax so much :)
He's awesome
You can tell whoever made this didn’t create an original script. He literally goes from explaining that Pennywise was defeated by the losers club only to come back 27 years later to saying it again with slightly different words two seconds later.
Leland Gaunt - Was always too me one of the most terrifying of King's creations a more twisted version of Mephistophocles.
On a side note - That massive creature from Graveyard Shift was also pretty uhm deadly, I remember as a kid watching Cat's Eye and thinking that little troll creature was terrifying.
The "magna mater" bat creature was a cool monster.
That troll used to scare the living shit out of me
Think Lovecraft for Leland. He served Yog Sothoth, one of the Old Ones.
@@michaelsmyth3935 that was never confirmed just a possibility of fan theory from what I understand.
Those cats caused me some confusion when I was a kid.
The shop keeper in Needful Things. These things happen
I always thought Leland Gaunt would be on this list - from Needful Things. Agree that it should have been mentioned that Flagg appeared across multiple books (Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, The Dark Tower), Christine was a pretty nasty villain in her own right.
I couldn't actually finish that one because the paranoia that each character felt was too much. Also Christine wasn't acting alone. It was her original owner who was also causing mayhem through her.
Am I going crazy or do you call it Dreamcaster at 17:52?
Tim Curry was the better Pennywise.
I'm one of the first ones here I hopped on cuz the thumbnail got me hopped up and excited me😊 Good job @Marvelous Videos on another awesome video.
sleepwalkers is so cheesy but ill always love that movie. I saw it when I was little and it creeped me out lol 😆watching it today is hilarious (as well as children of the corn) but love them
Imo, it's vastly underrated. And no movie list channels have yet to list "death by corncob" on any of their wierd/terrible/odd, etc movie deaths.
what creep me out as a kid watching that movie after pascow got hit by that truck he woke up conscious scared louis. louis asking him how you know my name and then when he appeared at his house at night vanishing and then popping back up
I love the gigantic creature that crosses the road in front of the Scout in The Mist. That is so wicked!😳
The insidiousness of the Tommyknockers was unnerving, giving people heightened powers and euphoric feelings while slowly corrupting and rotting them. Then there is the unstoppable force of the time-eaters, the Langoliers. That narrative is like classic Twilight Zone, where the horror lies in the characters being lost to the world as we know it. And a final mention must go to Annie Wilkes from Misery, as the most terrifying monster is not the one you can easily dismiss due to it's supernatural/fantastical origins but rather the one that most conforms to reality.
Dolores Claiborne will always be my favorite story of King's. I was scarred by IT when I was a kid and it just so happened that when I saw it, my room was circus themed lol over night my parents had to get rid of everything clown related (my harlequin dolls, my hand made clown blankets and pillows, my clock and piggy bank, so many other things). All because my grandparents fell asleep with the TV on scifi channel & I watched the made for TV movie of a killer clown.
I loved my grandparents but their house was creepy af. They had a light on all the time in the dining room, down the hall from their bedroom. I slept in between them as a kid when I'd visit and the light was in a red stained glass lantern. It would cast a blood red glow down the hall, which was lined with portraits my grandma did of my great grandparents, and just into their bedroom. I still get creeped out thinking about it.
I'm sure some kids had the same reaction after seeing Poltergeist (1982). I haven't seen the remake, so don't know how scary or if it even has the scene.
Wow! I didn't know Rutger Hauer was ever a vampire! Haaa 😊😊😊
That was in the mini-series remake of Salem's Lot. Rutger Hauer also played the main vampire antagonist LOTHOS, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( the movie before the series)
@@MozartsRevenge Cool info! I also don't know if Buffy has a release film, I only know the series! Haaa 😅😅😅
Not bad although since you specifically mentioned you were going to go with the novel adaptations I would have liked to see the theme throughout Cujo of the ghost of a serial killer from the town's history possessing the rabid dog and helping twist it into the monster it became. A plotline which exists in the novel but not the book.
When I was a kid, chief wooden head kept me from going outside after dark.
Loco! ( arrow to the head)
Scalps dude at the end.
I mostly like the gruesome blue vampire dude in the original Salems Lot...and where is the Tommyknocker??
The purple picklestabber I call him
Wow! So Kurt Barlow only inspired a single t.v. miniseries huh? That must have been the 1978 series. Which then inspired the 2001 series.
They also made the mistake of calling the town 'Salem's Lot which is only the title of the novel and never actually used in the story itself.
I think both Stephen King and I would agree that the most horrifying creation ever to walk this Earth would be: Donald Trump and the GOP. Yes, I went there............
I always wanted to see a film adaptation of the short story "Popsy" from Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Lots of the stories in that book have been made into movies. Great book 😈

Popsy lands on the van, hurts the guy, and the last thing the kidnapper sees is the little boy drinking his blood while having his hair stroked with grandfatherly love by his Popsy. They were vampires. 💀 At least that's my condensed version of it. Worth a read and people like watching revenge, suspense/thriller, drama, horror movies. 😁 hope
@@mikeenglish2318, oh I remember! I guess it didn't make a huge impression on me but I remember.

Of all of King's creations, I have always liked Dwight Renfield (The Night Flyer) the most. He's probably the most 'pure' monster in his actions.
Too bad you only get to see him for 5 seconds.
@@chesspunk489 King built Renfield up to the point that five seconds was almost too much. I mean, c'mon, looking in the mirror and seeing NOTHING pissing blood in the urinal next to you?? Plus the short story made it clear from Renfields dialog that the only reason Dees wasn't on the menu was that Renfield had already gotten his fill. I like this type of character.

@@LenHazell i hate the remake and i hate hauer
I'm a HUGE fan of the channel, but in the Steven King novel the town is called Jerusalem's Lot.
I've read the novel around 11 times, and there's just something about the atmosphere and tension King's work inspires.
The TNT version of the novel was (IMO) a pretty good adaptation of the source material too, although I wasn't a big fan of turning the father into one of Barlow's "minions" because the Callahan character actually becomes one of the most important characters in *The Dark Tower* series starting from the 5th novel and on.
"the blood soaked climax of the novel has Rose claiming one victim after another". I don't think someone actually read Doctor Sleep if he thinks this is how the book plays out. With the exception of the little kid, the True Knot are pretty weak villains and arent able to kill anyone.
That sounds more like claiming to have read the book after watching the movie trailer, one of the things that surprised me in Dr sleep is that they get off pretty easy, defeating the "true"
@@ana_derol Agreed. I think its a great book and have revisited it a few times, but the stakes are very low and Danny and Abbi handled the True pretty easily
Some very cleverly created creatures....all unique from each other. I’m a big fan of Stephen King novels & his son’s work is pretty good too.
"You have The Shinning"
"Oh, you mean "The Shining!"
"Ssshhh...you wanna get sued?"
But don't ye be reading my mind between 4 and 5, that's Willie's time!
Randal Flagg, The Good Man, The Stranger, Flagg the Kings Magician, The Man in Black, Martin Broadcloak is a inter world traveling minion of the Crimson King and one hell of an evil character. He's thought to have ties or influence with many if not all of King's creations.
What Dwight Renfield does to Richard Dees is like what Barlow did Callahan in the DT V.
Ok...but what about the ancient ones from Revival? Out of all the stories that Stephen King has written, that one has stuck with me the most. The constant sense of dread was palpable, and it pays off in a horrifying fashion in the closing chapters.
Salem's Lot, IT and Pet Sematary are King's TRUE horror novels. Definitely in my top 5 favorites. The novel Cujo was so sad because it gave personality to Cujo in his innocence and what it was thinking and how it began to experience its change from a dog who loved its family to a mindless beast.
Walter had to be skipped as it would have Randall Flagg on here twice, lol. Blaine and Rose the Hat still scare me.
So nobody gonna mention that the new The Stand miniseries already came and went 😂
I’ve seen more impressive lemonade stands
What?! When was this? I knew it was in development but has it been released?
And sucked. Hard.
The movie of the gunslinger is terrible but the books were great
I would love to see a really good adaptation of Needful Things. I always think of Leland Gaunt straight away when somebody mentions Stephen King characters/villains!
Needful things is a movie from the 80s, I saw it on On Demand recently, and the did a pretty good job! Gaunt was cast very well... and the lady farmer, the sherrif, the boy who wants the baseball cards, the waitress... it's worth watching!😊😊
1993 it came out. I saw it at the pictures! Really underrated movie and I personally think a TV show would be great
I've been reading Stephen King since I was a kid got a collection of his books, why I'm his "NUMBER ONE FAN" don't you know. 😂I found most of his book's are intertwined .. example : '11/22/63' / IT, 'IT' / DESPERATION / TOMMY KNOCKERS and RIDING THE BULLET / CHRISTINE. Read the books they're a thousand X's better. Now I patiently await for the whammy that ties em all in together he might just surprise us all with one too, hmm, you know what I find funny? he sleeps with the light's 😂.

Sleepwalkers was written by King as a screenplay, NOT a novel
@craig thomas This is true that he specifically wrote it for the screen at the beginning, but later he actually wrote a short story form of Sleepwalkers that was the novella form of the screenplay. It's actually a lot better than the movie's script.
@@incubustimelord5947 no, it wasn't. A three second Google search (plus just being a 30+ year fan/collector of anything King i can find) disproves this claim.

Could never sympathise with IT as an interesting and intimating creature. The fact it was supposed to be such a powerful being ans got owned by a bunch of kids always destroyed my interest in it
There was perfectly good reason behind it. Fear gave him power, they weren’t afraid so he lost power, and as it stated in the book, every being must abide by the rules of the form it inhabits so whatever form he took came the weaknesses with it.
That was kind of the point. Kids have the most powerful imagination which IT uses against them by embodying their fears. But it can also work the other way. Which was the purpose of the ritual of chud. Weilding the power of imagination against the cosmic entity or letting it wield it against you.
