This now viral picture shows an actress dressed as an Oompa Loompa from the disastrous “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland. What was advertised as an immersive experience took place in a sad, sparsely decorated warehouse with original villains like The Unknown. It’s became a viral sensation, with pictures of the event circulating everywhere online. Fortunately, the woman pictured, Kirsty Paterson, sees the funny side of it – and is okay with people dressing up as her for Halloween. People are already planning their 2024 Halloween costumes around the fiasco, so this guide has you covered.

Willy Wonka’s costume has some similarities to the original we know with Gene Wilder, but has its own take on the chocolatier.
