What Makes Her Pure Evil?[]
- Killing her father (suggested)
- Knowingly having inbred children
- Concocting a plan to kill her children so she can inherit her father's wealth
- Imprisoning her children in her mother's attic
- Allowing her mother to abuse the children
- Poisoning her children, resulting in the deaths of her son and daughter
- Marrying another man under false pretenses
- Publicly disavowing her surviving children
- Unlike in the 2014 remake and the book, where Corrine dies in a heroic sacrifice to save her children and grandchildren from John Amos, this 1987 version dies hanged by her own wedding veil when she falls off a balcony when confronted by her daughter Cathy about their crimes, without any redemption.
Trivia[]
- In the 2014 remake of the original film, in which Corrine is portrayed by Heather Graham, as well in the book, she redeems herself in If There Be Thorns, by sacrificing her life to save her children from John Amos in a burning shed. Therefore, the remake and book version of the character would not qualify as Pure Evil.
