The Collector 3: Filmmaker Offers Update on Long-Awaited Sequel, Will Be "Mad Scary" (Exclusive)

As a long-time fan of the horror genre, I can’t express how elated I am to hear that “The Collector” series, which includes the critically acclaimed “The Collector” (2009) and its sequel “The Collection” (2012), is finally making a comeback. The announcement came from director Marcus Dunstan himself, who confirmed that after five long years of legal entanglements, the production is free to move forward.


As an avid horror fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating news about “The Collected,” the long-awaited third installment in the chilling series that began with “The Collector” in 2009 and continued with “The Collection” in 2012. Director Marcus Dunstan has finally brought some light to the situation, sharing that the legal entanglements surrounding the film have been resolved. Although he didn’t provide an update on when production will restart, I’m relieved to hear that progress is being made after the project started shooting back in 2019 and then faced delays. Dunstan’s next horror offering, “#AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead,” is set to hit select theaters, Digital, and On Demand on August 2nd.

As someone who has followed the intriguing world of comic books and their creators for decades, I can tell you that news like this sends a thrill down my spine. Just hours ago, after an exhausting five-year legal battle, “The Collector” is finally free to return to the scene. This isn’t just any character; it’s a fan favorite with a rich history and a dark side that leaves us all on the edge of our seats.

I’ve always believed that each new project we undertake has the potential to surpass the last one. For instance, #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead brings humor, hope, and various emotions to the table, offering an elevated dose of humor at first to help us navigate through character development. Later on, we use it sparingly to keep things unpredictable. The Collector, on the other hand, delves into that inescapable abyss where fear and heart intertwine. It’s a mental journey for everyone as we venture deeper into the pitch-black unknown.

Initially named “The Midnight Man“, the earlier version of “The Collector” was planned as a spin-off prequel in the “Saw” series, revealing John Kramer’s backstory. However, it evolved into an independent production that kept the idea of a trap-setting antagonist.

While eagerly anticipating new additions to The Collected, avid fans can explore #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead. In this chilling tale, a bunch of college pals rent an Airbnb for the annual music festival. Their weekend of fun and revelry takes an unexpected dark turn as they’re picked off one by one, each meeting their demise based on their sins.

In the movie “#AMFAD” or “All My Friends Are Dead,” Jade Pettyjohn, Jennifer Ens, Ali Fumiko Whitney, Michaella Russell, Julian Haig, Justin Derickson, Cardi Wong, Jack Doupe-Smith, and Jojo Siwa are among the cast members.

Keep an eye out for new information regarding “The Collected.” The film “#AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead” will be released in selected theaters, digitally, and on demand starting August 2nd.
