I judge main slasher villains differently than the rest of villains since the heinous standards on ALL movies go that high to make murder only the average act on villainy.

So, for a main slasher villain to be Pure Evil it most follow these two steps to surpass the event horizon:

-Have killings that are so painful or cruel that goes beyond your average slasher killings (see Art the Clown, Chrome Skull)

-Have motives that not only probes that he is fully aware of what he is doing (which is obvious) but goes beyond your average slasher villain motivations (which is normally vengeance or simply mental illness), talk about greed, personal gain, or simply love to his job (Owl Face, Dr. Decker, Professor Solomon, Freddy Krueger, The Puppeteer)

-Perform actions that obviously surpass the moral event horizon. Yeah, it sounds obvious, but since most slasher villains just generally kill without doing anything else is hard for them to actually surpass the event horizon. Some of them simply surpass the line without necessary only killing, this may include extremely painful and unnecessary torture (Diana Walter, Art the Clown) (i know Diana is not from a slasher film but still) or targeting a part of population that is anormal for slasher standards, being the normal standard adults, teenagers or young men above 18. This may include elders, minorities and of course, childrens. This act the majority of times is an automatic way or surpassing the MEH (Dr. Decker, Chucky, Freddy Krueger, Mary Shaw)

-All of the above. Something that you can only expect on the darkest of villains.

Audra (nickname on the Spanish community for Patti, honestly i prefer it than The Hag) barely meets the second criteria. Her killings are pretty standard for the genre, including decapitation and stabbing, and are really not presented on a way to surpass the MEH. Also, her motives are pretty vague. It is heavily implied that she killed to have the role of Audra on a film she was casting on, asid from how ridiculous that is, it is not actually confirmed on the movie, putting it as an actual truth would be purely speculation. Not forgetting that she was kinda mentally unstable, which isn't really an instant disqualifier, but even if Audra wasn't completely insane at the time of doing her killings, it probes that she is really impulsive at killing for such a simple thing and have a bad time controlling herself.

So yeah, it's pretty much a no for me.

Curtains is still a classic for lovers of the genre and i highly recommend it.
