The Child Catcher
The Costume: It took three days to create one of the scariest villains in movie history ever. Aꦜpparently because of all the gaffer tape involved. The fact that you could actually fit a child in that net is particularly disturbing.
Player Adam says &🎀ldquo;scaring small children” is t🌞he best part of being the child catcher. We think he was in character...
Eye For Detail: The lollipops add that extra layer of creepin🅷ess.

Eye For Detail: The make-up is great.

Jazz
The Costume: Another Transformer, this one♍ put together for a fiver. We imagine she had to bribe Tesco for an armload of their e🦹mpty boxes.
Eye For Detail: Loving the Transformers logo 🐓on the chest plate there, as weᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚll as the foot flaps.
