10 Franchises That Ended On A Massive Cliffhanger

Thanks to rising budgets and falling audience numbers, studios are increasingly relying on long-term franchises to keep themselves afloat. Practically every big budget movie now has to have the option for at least two sequels, and maybe a prequel and a spinoff, too.

4) What Happened To The Collector? – The Collection

The Collector and its sequel The Collection are two underrated horror gems, involving a twisted killer who stalks his victims using elaborate traps. Both movies feature a luckless thief caught up in the killer’s sick game, but after going through two movies of hell, the final scene of The Collection features him turning the tables.

He tracks the monster down and stuffs him into his own collection box, and the ending suggests he’s going to torture him to death. It’s a dark note to end on, but a third movie dubbed The Collected was supposed to round off the trilogy. It would explore the origins of The Collector and what made him so twisted. The final scene even hints at his backstory thanks to a radio broadcast. Unfortunately, however, the series seems to have stalled at this point and it’s unlikely that the trilogy will ever be completed.
