Where the horror of being added to a collection is not the point of a Twist Ending, then the remaining cast members mobilize to rescue the kidnapped individual - and usually free all the other "specimens" in the collection in the process.Ī variation sometimes seen in children's shows has the collector stealing the character's unusual/unique pet. He's prone to saying " It Must Be Mine!" and " If I Can't Have You…, no one can!" But he could just as easily be a slaver or an obsessed lunatic in a present or past setting. Usually this is seen in Speculative Fiction: the collector is an alien, often of the sufficiently advanced variety, and the collection is only revealed at the end in a Twist Ending. One of the characters runs afoul of the Collector of the Strange, who decides to add them to his collection. For the 1963 novel by John Fowles or the film based on it, go here.
