TheExtremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vilestar, 30, opened up about her supernatural experience in an interview withThe Guardiansaying she’d wake up every night at 3:05 a.m. while preparing for the role of Bundy’s ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer.
Curious about what she was experiencing, Collins said she turned to research to try to understand what was happening.
“I discovered that 3 a.m. is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited,” Collins said. “I didn’t feel scared. I felt supported. I felt like people were saying, ‘We’re here listening. We’re here to support. Thank you for telling the story.'”

At the time of the attack, Bundy had already killed over and over again, the women often vanishing from public spaces at night: a girl near her sorority house, another leaving a bar. Two others during the day in a crowded park.

Bundy was eventually caught and sentenced to death in 1980. He was executed in 1989.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vileis based on Kloepfer’s 1981 memoirThe Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy. The real-life Kloepfer worked closely with Berlinger and Collins to make sure elements of the film remained accurate.
Collins even got to meet Kloepfer, saying the meeting was “really helpful.”
“She was so gracious, her and her daughter Molly were so gracious and inviting me and giving me material to look at and speaking to me and just allowing me to ask questions,” Collins said while on the U.K.’sThis Morning.
Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil and Vileis now streaming on Netflix.
