He is actually an illusion. It's TRUE form is far worse. It uses illusion to cloak the mind-shattering horror. I haven't read the book, nor have I seen the film. I read reviews and articles. Of all King's works I only like SHINING.(and we did not need the sequel), The theater film was poor, but the TV adaption was faithful.
The characters in King's works are no paragons of virtue .
