Biography[]
Terrifier[]
In 2017, Victoria gets a call from her sister, Tara, while she's studying for a college exam. 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.
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 who she thinks is Tara writhing on the floor covered in a blanket. The de-breasted and scalped Cat Lady lying on the floor nearby warns her and suddenly, Art reveals himself from under the blanket. While wearing the cat Lady's hair and breasts, Art torments Victoria. She hides in a cabinet. Looking through a small hole, 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 while he kills the interloper. Art comes back, riding a tricycle and thankfully back in his clown costume.
Victoria hides by a crawlspace and hears a strange sound, before Art sneaks up on her and attempts to suffocate her with a plastic bag. She tries to fight back but Art only strengthens his grip. Victoria rips a hole in the plastic bag and then takes a rusted nail off the floor and stabs it into Art's foot, giving her time to escape. Eventually, she finds Tara's mutilated face wrapped in decorative lights 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 flee to an office and lock the door.
Victoria collapses from the immense pain of all of the cuts. Mike calls 911 and tells them about the murders. After hanging up, they try to escape. but the their exit is chained shut. Mike he looks around for something to break the lock. Art knocks Mike over with a propane tank and quickly beats him to death. Victoria manages to break the lock, but not before Art catches up. Luckily, Victoria gouges out Art's eye and gets away .
She runs outside and finds herself in a parking lot protected by barbed wire fences. Victoria squeezes inside a garage, Art rips out her hair as she does so. He starts honking a bicycle horn at her and quickly disappears after Victoria grabs a pipe. She begins to hear police sirens and approaches the Garage door to call for help but Art crashes truck through the door and strike her. Art kneels over Victoria eats her face. The police arrive, before they can arrest him, Art pulls a gun 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 for an upcoming interview with tv host Monica Brown. The interview goes sour when Victoria starts acting "Freaking out" and the interview is cut short. Backstage, Victoria mutilates Brown's face
Terrifier 2[]
The Little Pale Girl fixes Art's TV so they can watch the interview from the first movie. After Victoria reveals she's been suicidal, The Little Pale Girl disappears and possesses her. She freaks out on stage and later rips Monica Brown's face apart. After being sent to an Asylum, she sings the theme song to "The Clown Cafe" so much that the orderlies can't get it out of their heads. Altogether, she's well-behaved according to the now deceased Nurse who took care of Vicky in the Ward.
In the early hours of November 1st, 2018 she begins to write obscenities on the wall in blood. She finishes off by drawing a heart with the words "Vicky + Art" in the middle of it. The blood she's doing this with is coming out of her pelvis as it's revealed she is supernaturally giving birth to Art's head, most likely because of the demon, The Little Pale Girl, making her supernaturally pregnant with Art's head. The orderly struggles to open the door after seeing the scene unfolding through a small window. Art's head smiles and Victoria laughs maniacally, before the Nurse screams in horror.
Terrifier 3[]
Victoria brutalizes the orderly and eventually kills her; another staff member named Burke discovers the scene, and Victoria tears off his jaw and his face along with Art's headless body which has snuck its way inside. After presumably killing a man on a train for his Art costume, the duo escape to an abandoned house in the suburbs. While Art goes up towards the attic, Victoria goes to the ground floor bathroom & smashes the mirror with her face after reflecting on her appearance. She then takes a shard of mirror she picked up, slashes her wrists, and goes into hibernation while sitting in a nearby bathtub.
Five years later, Victoria emerges from her hibernation just before Art and kills a maintenance worker who stumbled upon her body in the bathroom. While Art goes off & begins another murder spree, Victoria begins sewing together a costume similar to the one Art wears.
After Art incapacitates Sienna and her remaining family, Victoria arrives to her house and begins taunting Sienna while implying a skull they brought is that of Gabby, Sienna's young cousin. After helping to kill Jessica with several rats and a heated metal tube shoved down her throat, Victoria brings in Gabby and mentions the skull is actually that of her brother Jonathan. Victoria jams a crown of thorns on Sienna's head and then tries to transfer the spirit of the Little Pale Girl, but is slightly surprised when Sienna fails to mentally break. Commenting how she is stronger than she looks, Victoria allows Sienna to open one of the presents under the tree. She is surprised when the present is revealed to be the same sword that Sienna used to kill Art
Death[]
While being possessed by the little pale girl in a confrontation with Sienna, Victoria is decapitated by her sword that also decapitated Art five years earlier. As her body falls dead, the blood coming from her severed neck begins melting the floor and her body eventually dissolves and forms a portal to hell, where Gabby later fell into holding the sword.

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, who is now found out to be an Angel of the possible sorts.
- 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 (2021). In addition, Leone felt remorseful for leaving Victoria underdeveloped in the first film and enjoyed working with Samantha Scaffidi, convincing him to bring her back into the third film.
