MEET THE CAST
Polly Pingwald

Aka, Molly Ringwald.Star of the 80s teen movie scene with hits such as The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles.She was the ultimate 'pretty girl', her characters always sporting pinks and lace. But don't write her off as just another pretty face, as her characters often faced issues head on. From struggles with peer pressure, economic status and anonymity, everyone was rooting for the fiery red head to succeed.This soft smiling goddess was who every girl wanted to be, and who every guy wanted as their prom date.Game description: Actress, Breakfast Club type. Looks down on everyone.
Game costume suggestion: Female teen, Pink sweater, white neck scarf, “flipped” hair.
Gilliam Stealberg

Aka, Steven Spielberg.Iconic director with arguably one of the greatest filmographies in history. His films shaped the lives of both children and adults, as his range extends from family friendly comedies like Hook and E.T., to feature length dramas and action films with the likes of Indiana Jones, The Colour Purple, Jaws and Jurassic Park.Game description: Director, made sick by interruptions to his “masterpiece.”
Game Costume suggestion: Male adult, Headset, work shirt, packet of stomach lozenges.
Al B. Backe

Aka, The Terminator.Or more specifically, Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator.Arnold, or Arnie, was an Austrian bodybuilder that completely revolutionised the aesthetic of the action hero. The Marvel stars that got their big break with big muscles have Arnold to thank for paving the way for their bulging biceps in Hollywood.Known for his huge build, Austrian accent, strange obsession with American politics, and of course his portrayal in The Terminator franchise.Game description: Actor, Terminator type. Intimidating.
Game Costume suggestion: Male adult, Black leather jacket, black t-shirt, sunglasses.
Heather Hurtful

Aka, Heather Chandler from the 1980s dark comedy, Heathers.A twisted teen comedy of its time, Heathers explores the lives of the then modern day teenager, as they wade through the cesspool of social expectations, popularity, peer pressure, and their uncertain place within the world.Heather Chandler is the girl who seemingly had it all as the leader of her clique, The Heathers. Brash, crass and unapologetically cruel, all neatly tied up in a plaid skirt and scrunchy. No one could stand up to her for fear of totally social annihilation. She was an unstoppable force.Even after her untimely "suicide", the power of her popularity seemed to grow ever stronger, and not even a cup of drain cleaner would upset the social hierarchy she had orchestrated at school.Game description: Actress, Mean Girl. Totally conceited.
Game Costume suggestion: Female teen, Preppy look, jacket, scarf, pearls, fluffy hair.
Keanu heaves

Aka, Keanu Reeves.Present day Keanu Reeves may spark thoughts of the action packed John Wick and Matrix franchises. He's also seemingly regarded as one of the nicest men in Hollywood, with a dashing smile and extensive collection of motorbikes. We truly believe this man would risk life and limb to avenge a dog in real life.In the 80s, Keanu flashed his boyhood charms in an array of films, including Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. This comedy of two time travelling friends working on a school assignment led to follow up films in the 90s and 2020.Game description: Actor, Bill & Ted type. A total slacker dude.
Game Costume suggestion: Male teen, Black vest, band (Van Halen) t-shirt, cuff bracelet.
Tom Kutes

Aka, Tom Cruise.From Top Gun to the 300th instalment of Mission Impossible, this man has been flipping, cliff jumping and exploding through Hollywood for decades. Famed for performing stunts that his acting peers wouldn't even dream of, if there's a building to jump off in a movie this man will find it.The 80s were no exception, however he worked his acting chops a little harder during this time, with hits like Rain Man and A Few Good Men, that required more depth than a helicopter crashing into the ocean.Whether it be his motorcycle stunts, his handsome face, or his belief that the alien souls living inside us need to be exercised via expensive cult payments, Tom Cruise is a household name.Game description: Actor, Top Gun type. Always posing and flashing his pearly whites.
Game Costume suggestion: Male, young adult, Flight suit, sunglasses.
Duran Whamm

Aka, an amalgamation of the bands Duran Duran and Wham.Both groups were at peak popularity during the 80s, everyone has probably heard 'Hungry Like the Wolf' without even realising it. Meanwhile some speculate the tune of Wham's Christmas ditty 'Last Christmas' was actually implanted into the brains of all babies born after its release in 1984.The music scene of the 80s was a release for the youth, accepting the exploration of gender and sexual identities. Male pop and rock stars blended typically gendered clothes, donning an iconically androgynous and often effeminate aesthetic. Eyeliner was never smudged enough and hair could always reach new heights.Game description: Pop star, making his first movie. Full of himself.
Game Costume suggestion: Male teen, pastel jacket, gelled hair, sweatband.
