often a complete monster is given a chance to redeem themselves and the OPENLY say "screw you" to redeeming qualities, making them irredeemable by default.. the story could well give them a chance to be forgiven or get a "karma houdini" style redemption (ala the old "hero forgives despite all the horrible things one does") but they'll refuse it.

Peter Stegman was offered a chance to give up / surrender.. instead he tried to kill Andrew and died with his last words being "sucker!" as he slashed his would-be-rescuer.. the same man who he had tormented for so long, was still willing to give him a chance to at least survive.. instead Peter showed he was truly irredeemable by backstabbing his one chance at having any good qualities whatsoever.

there's also that malevolent ghost I can't quite remember the name of from a British horror show, he was a mass-child murderer yet at the very end of the film a ghost came to him and offered him a chance to "move on" : the guy outright REJECTS salvation and goes back to the basement to presumably stay a "damned soul" of his own choice.. that shows that he was beyond just a horrible murderer, he was truly "irredeemable".
