!!2006 [[Film/StephenKingsDesperation adaptation]]

*CompleteMonster: [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tak]] is a demonic entity who spreads death wherever he goes. Unearthed from the Desperation mining shaft and killing everybody inside, Tak slaughtered the entire town afterwards before going on a decades-long [[SpreeKiller killing spree]], which included destroying a bar in Vietnam that led to 87 deaths. Tak would eventually return to Desperation and [[DemonicPossession possess]] the town's sheriff Collie Entragian, using him to {{frame|Up}} nearby travelers for marijuana possession and abuse them to his liking, even killing some for fun, including [[WouldHurtAChild a little girl]]. With David Carter destined by God to stop him, Tak possesses his mother in an attempt to kill him and the rest of the escaped prisoners.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Tak]], a [[EldritchAbomination monstrous, incorporeal entity]] released from the Desperation mining pits, runs amok in the titular town, gruesomely slaughtering almost everyone who lives there and [[DemonicPossession taking one of the local police as a host]]. When other people near Desperation, Tak murders one young woman's husband and the Carver family's [[WouldHurtAChild 7-year-old daughter]], before steadily slaughtering the survivors for fun. Realizing that Kirsten's 12-year-old brother David has been sent by God to stop him, Tak stops at nothing to murder the boy after killing his entire family, intending on spreading his influence throughout the world by destroying whatever stands in his path.
