Well a quick search on the internet reveals there is a mystery behind the whereabouts of the monster costumes! They were 'lost' in transition when Walkers bought the Monster Munch brand from Smiths. Walkers received 'ransom' notes from someone claiming to have the costumes, the notes included tufts of monster fur, but Walkers didn't pay (although they did hire a private detective!) and the monster costumes haven't been seen since. Not sure whether the notes were legit or not, I wonder if the costumes were chucked in a skip during a clear out?, we might never know what happened to them. But I would love it if they were found one day and placed on display in a museum.
I have always wondered what happened to the monster costumes, and whether they are just gathering dust in someones attic?
