10 More Best Horror Movie Villains Who Only Appeared Once
9. Rose The Hat - Doctor Sleep
Making a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's iconic The Shining was no easy task. Be it Stephen King writing the book or Mike Flanagan directing the movie adaptation, nothing was guaranteed to succeed with Doctor Sleep. But, while not everything about this movie is perfect, there is one thing that stands out, and that's the terrifying Rose the Hat.
Rose O'Hara is the leader of The True Knot, a group of semi-immortal beings who feed off children gifted with the Shining. How do they get sustenance out of these youngsters, you may ask? Why, they torture them to death and feed off the steam released by their abilities, as you do!
As the leader of a child-killing vampiric cult, Rose is, naturally, a bit of a handful. She's a relentless, pitiless monster who performs awful deeds and hunts down the movie's protagonists, the grown-up Danny Torrence and Abra Stone, with a frightening obsession.
She's a master manipulator who lures people in with her friendly nature, only to strike at them with no remorse. Watching her work her victims is like seeing a spider circling its prey. You feel awful for anyone trapped in her web.
