YOUNG people were turned into zombies and monsters before acting in front of a green screen during a Halloween workshop.

Colchester-based film production charity Signals held the Ghostly Green Screen event.

Melanie Winning, a professional make-up artist who has worked on top films, including 28 Days Later, turned the youngsters into ghosts and ghouls.

The children could then watch themselves acting in front of a haunted house.
