It’s tough to pick the creepiest villains in all of Middle-earth. As scary as the Dark Lord Sauron is throughout The Lord of the Rings, the Orcs are fairly terrifying, too. And in The Hobbit, you’ve got the introduction of Gollum, not to mention the wicked dragon Smaug. Now, with Season 2 of The Rings of Power, one variety of Middle-earth monster will be making its onscreen debut, and these creatures are older than Ringwraiths and Trolls put together. Never before fully seen in a live-action version of Lord of the Rings, the wicked Barrow-wights will crash The Rings of Power Season 2. And in doing so, they’ll hopefully help to restore everyone’s appreciation of a very underrated section of The Fellowship of the Ring.
