He has all the power, and he uses it to preside over a terrible prison. There are few people more quietly insidious than Warden Norton, who seems to understand that basically no one can hold him accountable. Warden Norton falls to the bottom of this list because, although he makes life hell for Andy and the rest of the prisoners in Shawshank, they ultimately get the better of him. King’s stories don’t often end in triumph, but The Shawshank Redemption is the rare exception to that general rule. These are the seven best villains that Stephen King movies have given us over the course of his many adaptations.
King is also one of the most commonly adapted authors in Hollywood, and while all of those adaptations haven’t been great, they have produced some wonderful onscreen villains. He writes about evil in all of its forms and seems to thrive in the chaos that his darkest characters bring to his stories. Over the course of his long career, Stephen King has become something of an expert on the question of evil.
