Victoria Heyes is a fictional character in the Terrifier franchise. Initially a heroine, Victoria first appears in Terrifier (2016) as a college student who is left facially disfigured and driven insane after narrowly escaping the serial killer Art the Clown on Halloween night. The sequels follow her becoming possessed. She is portrayed by Samantha Scaffidi, who reprises the role in Terrifier 2 (2022) and Terrifier 3 (2024).
Damien Leone conceptualized her as a subversion of the final girl trope, having the false protagonist Tara Heyes killed off halfway through the film and depicting Victoria as a heroine who becomes a villain. While she is left underdeveloped in the first film, with much of the focus on showcasing the Art character, Leone wanted to develop Victoria significantly, so he brought her back into a leading role in the third film. Scaffidi views the character as a heroine descending into madness.
As the character has facial disfigurement, Scaffidi had to wear extensive prosthetics throughout the series. For the first two films, she only had to wear a prosthetic for her face, while in Terrifier 3, she had to wear additional prosthetics for her arms and legs for Victoria's undead appearance. Additionally, the third film features the character in Christmas themed clown makeup and attire that resembles Art's. In addition to the films, the character appears in literature and merchandise, such as graphic novels and a video game.
