The actor plays Bundy’s former girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which wiill be released on 3 May on Netflix across the world.
She told The Guardian that as she prepared for to portray Kloepfer, she began waking up at 3:05am every night.
Ultimately, she started “being woken up by flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle”, as she told the newspaper.
Collins did some online research about the situation and said she found out that “3am is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited”.
The actor now believes that some of Bundy’s victims might have been trying to get in touch with her.
“I didn’t feel scared – I felt supported,” Collins said, adding that she felt as though people were thanking her for “telling the story” of Bundy and his murders.
Bundy, who was executed in 1989 at the age of 42, confessed to killing 30 women and girls across seven states, though the actual death toll could be higher.
