Summary The villains of Twin Peaks are often more than just one-dimensional evil characters. They are driven by complex motivations, shaped by their experiences and entangled in relationships that define both the politics and the atmosphere of mistrust in the town. Some are driven by greed and power, while others are consumed by darkness and despair.

Jacques also plays a significant role in the Twin Peaks prequel movie Fire Walk With Me. As if his “bite the bullet” anecdote as told to Dale Cooper is not enough to portray him as an odious lesser villain in Laura’s world, FWWM features horribly prophetic lines such as, “Guess what? There’s no tomorrow!” This is particularly sinister, knowing Laura’s story can only end one way.

It’s in Josie’s scenes with Benjamin Horne that her mask falls and she provides a glimpse at the skills she has honed to survive. This makes her a compelling villain because, for a long while, she can hold her own with the smarmy men of the plot. Another reason Josie ranks well is revealed in the Twin Peaks book by Jennifer Lynch, The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. In her diary, Laura reveals that Josie is one of the many people using Laura.

6 Benjamin Horne Played By Richard Beymer Close Ben Horne is an example of an unexpected character transformation, especially in The Return. Viewers would be forgiven for viewing his redemptive arc in season 2 of the original series with some suspicion – however, it continues into season 3, with Ben seemingly having changed his ways. Regardless, he remains one of the best villains of the original series and his dialogue is among the most charismatic and hilarious in the show.

4 Windom Earle Played by Kenneth Welsh Close Windom Earle is a terrifying villain because of his past with Dale Cooper, according to whom his "mind is like a diamond. It's cold, and hard, and brilliant." At many points in the Windom Earle storyline, he is shown to have the calculation of a chess player but with an unhinged unpredictability in the mix.
