Richard Lawson was the main antagonist of Stephen King's movie Sometimes They Come Back (1991). He was the leader of the evil greaser trio gang who killed Jimmy Norman's older brother Wayne back in 1963. Lawson was portrayed by Robert Rusler.

APPERANCE 

Lawson wore a black leather jacket with a white t-shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, and black greased hair to give it a typical greaser look. He carried a switch blade in his pocket. He also drove a 1955 Chevy 150.

PERSONALTY

Lawson seemed to be someone who loved to torment others as he tormented Jimmy and Wayne when him and his gang were alive, and even loved to do it as dead. He usually led his gang in the murders of Jimmy's students as a way to torture Jimmy as they killed the students he was closest to. Even though the all the members of the gang wanted revenge on Jimmy it seemed that Lawson wanted the most redemption due to him coming up with kidnapping his family and destroying his van. Lawson was also someone who had a short temper since he would pull out his switch blade when he would get punched in the face. This happened three times in the movie as the first time he got punched by Wayne. He pulled out his knife and said "nobody hits me and lives man!". The second time he got punched was by Jimmy's wife Sally at the church. He started laughing after he got punched. He didn't pull out his knife, but he had his gang friend Vinny hold her where he told her "don't you know sally that nobody hits me and lives? Huh?!"
