The Sociopaths of Stephen King

As part of the Halloween month, I decided to take on this request from an anon to show off some sociopathic characters from one of the most prolific horror writers of the modern age. His shared universe  I may not manage to get all of the profiles done this October, but as usual, you can see the profiles on the master list here.

Pictured above:

Randall Flagg from various pieces of media[1]

It, aka Pennywise the Dancing Clown from It (1986), its[2] 1990 TV miniseries adaptation (played by Tim Curry), and the 2017 film adaptation and the 2019 sequel It: Chapter Two (played by Bill Skarsgard)

Patrick Hockstetter from It and the 2017 adaptation (played by Owen Teague)

Anne Marie “Annie” Wilkes-Dugan from Misery (1987) and its 1990 film adaptation (played by Kathy Bates)

Henry Bowers from It, the miniseries (played by Jarred Blancard (young) and Michael Cole (adult)), the 2017 adaptation (played by Nicholas Hamilton (pictured)), and It: Chapter Two (played by Teach Grant)

William “Wild Bill” Wharton from The Green Mile (1996) and its 1999 film adaptation (played by Sam Rockwell)

Todd Bowden from Apt Pupil (1982) and its 1998 film adaptation (played by Brad Renfro)

The Outsider, aka El Curo from The Outsider (2018) and its 2020 HBO miniseries adaptation[3]

Kurt Barlow (formerly Breichen) from ‘Salem’s Lot (1975) and its 1979 (played by Reggie Nalder) and 2004 (played by Rutger Hauer (pictured)) miniseries adaptations

Leland Gaunt from Needful Things (1991) and its 1993 film adaptation (played by Max von Sydow)

[1] He shows up in too many books and has too many aliases for me to effectively and succinctly detail all of them, so I’m saving myself the trouble for now and not doing that here. [2] Pun not intended. [3] Main actor could not be found.
