CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Any Stephen King fan will tell you that the true horror in his stories comes from the audienceâs connection with the characters and the desire not to see harm befall them â but that being said, the author is remarkably talented when it comes to imagining the âharmâ part of that equation, and it has inspired a great number of filmmakers to do the same. To be blunt, in the wide variety of King adaptations, we have seen characters meet some bitter and terrible ends that audiences wouldnât wish upon their worst enemy. But in that specific history, who arguably got it the worst? Itâs a difficult question when you consider how high the body count is going back to 1976, but upon deep reflection I think I have managed to determine the list of the most horrific Stephen King movie deaths. Strap in, and prepare for a desensitizing adventure through cinematic history.
