His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He went on a killing spree in a town in Cryer, Wisconsin, remorselessly killing 14 people.
- It's also possible that he went on killing sprees in different towns prior to that and has a higher kill count as it was said that he would travel to a new town every year.
- He kidnapped Deputy Jordan and a married woman named Alana Roach, torturing them both to death ignoring their pleas of mercy, Jordan via electrocution with Christmas lights and Alana by chopping her up into little pieces with his axe offscreen.
- He tortured a 14-year-old girl via with a taser before killing her by impaling her with a fireplace.
- While she was a bad daughter to her mother and hated Church, she still was just a child.
- He killed a group of people making porn at a motel, killing the first woman by impaling her with a scythe and making sure she died slowly, before stabbing the man in the crotch with it for a while to torture him.
- He tried killing Maria by suffocating her with a shower curtain, only stopping when Frank tried to shoot him, chasing and tormenting her for a while before chopping off her leg with an axe and brutally killing her by putting her in a woodchipper, ignoring her cries for mercy.
- He sadistically put her dismembered leg in first and then putted her in the chipper legs first, slowly shredding her to death.
- He killed Reverend Madeley, for being perverted and stealing money from the collection basket, by cutting off most of his fingers with a knife then repeatedly stabbing him to death.
- He killed the town Mayor, who wasn't really naughty, by choking him to death with Christmas lights before going after his daughter Tiffany and her boyfriend Dennis.
- He killed Tiffany by impaling her on mounted deer antlers and showed her corpse to her boyfriend before axing him in the back and then splitting his head in half with the axe.
- While he does spare Tiffany's little sister, he still ruined her life by making her an orphan and likely traumatized her by giving her a bloody candy cane and having her eventually find and see her father and sister's corpses.
- He burned the town sheriff alive with a flamethrower.
- He disemboweled Hank Bradimore with a knife offscreen and, though he did kill Ronald's father, it doesn't justify it as his father was a killer with Hank putting him down in an act of self-defense.
- He brutally beat Jim Epstein to death with brass knuckles for ungratefully punching him in the face after he freed him from his prisoner cell.
- He tried to kill Hank's daughter, who wanted to avenge her father.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has a tragic backstory of seeing both his parents die by being burned alive, causing him to lose his mind and grow up to become a killer like his father.
- He seemed to have loved his father, as he followed in his footsteps as a killer Santa and avenged him by killing the cop who put him down.
- He has moments of genuine kindness like when he gave money to an older woman and when he gave a gift to Tiffany's little sister.
- He is honorable, because he usually only kills naughty people, spared the life of a old woman who had witnessed his murder, and he freed Jim from his cell, only deciding to kill him when he ungratefully hit him after freeing him.
