Not only was he "evil," but he was the smart kind of evil. Sure, he got caught in the end, but the things he did before were like those of a siren. A siren is a mermaid-like creature that lures its prey with its voice. In Bundy's case, it was his looks.
Should've been higher. He was a manipulative rapist and killer who beat women and had sex with their dead bodies. Yes, he was hella sexy and charming, but he had a girlfriend while in prison and got love letters. He even got engaged to another woman. I will admit, he was extremely clever, especially when escaping. I'm studying him at the moment.

Edward Theodore Gein, also known as The Butcher of Plainfield, was an American murderer and body snatcher. He only killed about two people in his life. However, he was so obsessed with body parts that he would go to cemeteries and dig up the corpses of dead women to make masks out of their skin.

Imagine entering Ed Gein's house to find rotting mutilated human flesh in paper bags, only to then recognize it as the face of someone you know. He slaughtered his victims and strung them up like pigs. He used various body parts and skin to create furnishings and décor for his home. This is true insanity.
