Biography[]
Terrifier[]
Talk show host Monica Brown interviews a severely disfigured woman, the sole survivor of a massacre that took place the previous Halloween. Brown mentions that the body of the killer, known only as "Art the Clown", disappeared from the morgue, suggesting he is still alive. The disfigured woman insists she saw him die. After the interview, Monica talks to her boyfriend on the phone and makes disparaging remarks about the interviewee because of her appearance. The disfigured woman, who'd been eavesdropping, attacks Monica and gouges out her eyes, laughing maniacally.
The night of her attack, Victoria gets a call from her sister, Tara, while at a Halloween party. Tara asks Victoria to come pick them up since Dawn's tire is flat. Victoria drives to the storage facility where they're located, and on her way there she hears a radio report that there's a killer in a clown costume that just killed two people at a pizza parlor near the storage facility.
Victoria arrives at the storage facility and knocks on the front door. She calls Tara from Dawn's phone, and Art sees the phone call. He texts Victoria back, pretending to be Dawn. He tells her to "go around the back" and so she does. This leads her to a strange wooden door, where she calls out for Tara and Dawn but nobody answers.
She finds a large, blue, wooden door that's locked. She bangs on it while still calling out for her sister. She calls Dawn's phone again, and hears the ringtone from down in a basement. Upon following the noise, she discovers Dawns corpse, having been cut in half vertically. Retching, she runs back upstairs and calls out once again for Tara. She goes back into the basement with her phone flashlight on, and finds the de-breasted and scalped Cat Lady, lying on the floor in pain. Suddenly, Art appears, wearing the cat Lady's hair and breasts. Art attempts to capture Victoria, but only manages to remove her jacket. Victoria runs upstairs and tries to open a window to escape, to no avail. Before Art reaches the top of the stairs, she hides in a cabinet. Looking through a small hole in the cabinet, she sees Art acting confused as to where she went. Art sees her eyeball in the hole of the cabinet and mimics laughing as he points towards the hole. Art acts like he's leaving, before popping up from beneath the peephole and bangs on the cabinet.
Art is distracted by the sound of Will honking the horn of his truck, allowing Victoria to sneak out of the cabinet and exit the room. Art comes back, riding a tricycle. She attempts to open a locked door, but can't, so she hides out of Art's view. She sneaks away into a different room, and finds a room infested with rats.
She hides by a crawlspace, and hears a strange sound, before Art sneaks up on her and attempts to strangle her with saran wrap. She tries to fight back but Art only strengthens his grip. Victoria eventually rips a hole in the saran wrap and collapses onto the floor, coughing. She takes a nearby nail off the floor and stabs it into Art's foot, giving her time to escape. She finds a ladder with a door above it. The door is jammed, so she goes down a different hallway instead of up the ladder. Eventually, she finds Tara's bloodied body with several gunshot wounds to the head with a sign reading "CIRCUS" on it propped on her lap. She weeps in front of her sister's body as Art sneaks up behind her once more. She turns around as Art quickly whips her with his cat o' nine tails, cutting her arm. He whips her 11 more times before Mike sneaks up behind him and knocks him out. Mike helps Victoria up and they both go to a room and lock the door. Victoria collapses from the immense pain of all of the cuts. Mike tells Victoria there's a phone, but Victoria thinks he is going to leave her, to which she panics. But, Mike tells her the phone is nearby, so she does not have to worry. Mike calls 911 and tells them about the murders in the storage facility. After hanging up, Mike takes Victoria to a separate room, but the door is locked, so he looks around for something to break the lock. While he's looking, Art appears and knocks Mike over with a barrel. Art smashes him with the barrel again before repeatedly stomping on his head, smashing his head in, killing him. Victoria grabs a nearby wooden stick and breaks the lock, but not in time for Art to put her in a headlock. Luckily, Victoria took the nail she stabbed in Art's foot and stabs his eye. She runs outside and enters through a door that says "KEEP OUT". After she enters, Art appears again and grabs her by the hair. Victoria breaks free from his grip, with some of her hair getting ripped out. Victoria tells Art to "go away", and also tells him to "stop it" as he starts honking a clown horn at her. After she grabs a nearby rod, Art goes away. She runs away and tries to get into another door. After seeing it's locked, she begins to hear police sirens. She looks out the crack in the door and sees a truck rushing towards her. The truck, being driven by Art, breaks the door down and hits Victoria, knocking her to the ground. Art exits the truck and kneels over near Victoria, and begins to eat her face. Halfway through eating her face, the police arrive, pointing guns at Art. Before they can arrest him, Art pulls a gun out of his shoe and points it in his mouth and shoots himself. The police notice that Victoria is still alive, and so she is admitted to the ER.
On October 29, 2018, Victoria is released from the hospital after rehabilitation from the injuries inflicted by Art (it is revealed that she is the woman responsible for the brutal attack on Monica Brown). This scene takes place a day before the interview with Monica.
Terrifier 2[]
In a post-credits scene, she is shown in a mental hospital where she begins to write obscenities on the wall in blood. She finishes it off by drawing a heart with the words "Vicky + Art" in the middle of it. A seemingly-possessed Victoria suddenly becomes pregnant, ripping out her own intestines to fit the large, decapitated head of Art the Clown out of her birth canal. After giving birth, she begins to lick the head. A curious nurse hears the sounds of Victoria yelling and storms into the room and screams at the sight of Victoria, bloodied, with the head of Art. Art's head smiles and Victoria laughs maniacally.
Terrifier 3[]
Sienna opens the present despite her mangled hands, and reveals to Art and Victoria that the sword lies inside. She slashes Art with the sword, then throws it directly at Victoria, striking her in the heart. Sienna takes the blade out of Victoria and stabs her in the mouth, before taking the blade out again and chopping Victoria's head clean off in one fell swoop. Victoria's headless body collapses to the ground, most likely, finally dead, and begins to melt into a bubbling pool of blood. While Art and Sienna fight, the body slowly melts into the floor, slowly forming a portal to Hell. Sienna, distracted, doesn't notice until it's too late, and the portal opens, causing Gabbie to nearly fall in. Gabbie holds tightly onto the edges of the portal, and Sienna attempts to help her, but she is unsuccessful. Gabbie falls into the portal and directly into Hell.

Trivia[]
- Victoria was the only character to survive Art's rampage from the first film.
- It is possible that her disfigurement was done deliberately by Art as a way to make her one of his followers, and to resurrect himself after he was killed by Sienna.
- The original ending of Terrifier 2 set up Victoria's demise in the opening of this film, but Leone deemed it to be too similar to the concept of Malignant.
