10 Lesser Known Stephen King Villains
6. The Bad Little Kid (Bad Little Kid)
Everyone hates kids. Look at them, with their youth, and their fast metabolisms, and lack of aches and pains, and their youth. Sickening.
None of the kids you know have anything on this little terror, though. His name is never revealed, which is perhaps fitting, since he apparently never ages and has no family, plaguing George Hallas throughout his life for apparently no reason, across decades, suggesting he or it is more than meets the eye.
Whatever the Bad Little Kid's true nature may be, he is responsible for luring a childhood friend of Hallas to her death, driving his girlfriend to suicide, the death of his father, the harassment and subsequent death of his adoptive mother, and the death of Harras' unborn child, resulting in the failure of his marriage. The Kid's motivation for his campaign of torment is never given, but if he's anything like real children, he did it because, well, he could.
Oh well. At least us older generations are leaving behind a devastated planet. Take that, losers!
