Willy Wonka Experience creepy character handed leading role in new horror movie
A horror film based on the pitiful Willy Wonka Chocolate Experience event - and star its creepy character "The Unknown" - is set to be made.
The movie with the same name will be about an illustrator and his wife, haunted by the tragic death of their son, escape for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an "unknowable evil awaits them." It is thought this will occur in the form of the character, seen at the Willy Wonka event wearing a silver mask.
Parents had no idea how the scary character was linked to Roald Dahl's book and, in one video taken at the event, a ghoul jumps out on unsuspecting punters - leaving one child in tears. Police were called to the event, for which tickets cost up to £35.
Kaledonia Pictures, which is a Glasgow-based film production company, has taken inspiration from the fiasco and will use the ghoul in the film, set for release late this year. It says: "The film, gearing up for production and a late 2024 release, follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them.
"We are excited to begin production and look forward to sharing more with you as soon as possible. We are actually only a few miles from the event, so it is quite surreal to see Glasgow all over social media, worldwide."

The creepy character baffled families at the Roald Dahl event
Police were called to the Willy Wonka-inspired event in the sparsely decorated warehouse (Jenny Fogarty / SWNS)AI-generated artwork was employed to lure the unsuspecting Glasgow public into what looked to be an immersive, Willy Wonka-themed experience. However, they instead found a warehouse sparsely decorated with tacky decorations and populated by characters which looked like they were pulled out of horror films, reports Bloody Disgusting.
Tom Whiston, who is a clown and a comedian, was on the verge of a role at the much-maligned event. He said he saw three "suspicious signs" clown which saw him stand up the gig, including the AI-generated pictures and the communication around the event.
Speaking to The Mirror, the 27-year-old performer said: "Only a couple of days after, I think via Facebook, doing a bit of digging, that we found the tickets for the Willy Wonka event. I wasn't aware this was it until then. So I get the email offering me the position, which I just ignore because I'd taken another gig at this point and the whole thing seemed really fishy."
A spokesperson for House of Illuminati said: "Today has been a very stressful and frustrating day for many and for that we are truly sorry. Unfortunately, at the last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through and now realise we probably should have cancelled first thing this morning instead. We fully apologise for what has happened and will be giving full refunds to each and every person that purchased tickets.
"We planned a fabulous event and it just did not take shape as planned and for that we are truly sorry, we are devastated at how this has turned out and understand people's anger and frustration that everyone has had, refunds have already started being issued and the rest should be over the coming days, again we are truly sorry to everyone."
