The Last of Us is back in the limelight thanks to HBO\u2019s ongoing adaptation of Naughty Dog\u2019s hit post-apocalyptic video game series. The show, already hailed as one of the most accurate video game adaptations of all time, follows the journey of Joel and Ellie as they make their way through an America ravaged by the \u201cinfected\u201d (in other words, zombies) \u2014 thus far, an almost one-to-one comparison to the original game, aside from a few new tweaks from the showrunners. In the latest episode, viewers get introduced to the \u2018Clickers.\u2019 These creatures mark the third stage of an \u2018infected,\u2019 which is almost totally overtaken by the Cordyceps fungus. It relies on echolocation to spot prey, using \u201cclicking\u201d vocalizations that gave them their namesake. The Clickers were met with rave reviews from fans of the games, who marveled at the artistry with which the special effects team brought the zombies to life\u2026 and even inspired one talented cosplayer to try their own hand at the fungus-infused critters. Cosplayer\u2019s TLOU Clicker costume takes over social media Cosplayer Ivan King uploaded his take on a Clicker to TikTok on January 16, and it\u2019s safe to say that fans are impressed. They managed to craft a headpiece of the cordyceps fungus blossoming out of their face, including a few shelves of mushroom all over their body, as well. Combined with their tattered clothes and jerky movements, this real-life Clicker is a close second to HBO\u2019s SFX makeup \u2014 and the sound effects make it all the more chilling. Viewers instantly praised Ivan King\u2019s cosplay and are even calling for Universal to create a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house attraction for The Last of Us. \u201cWell, if Universal Studios doesn\u2019t make this their new scare maze,\u201d one commenter said. \u201cHope to see some of these on Halloween this year!\u201d another suggested. \u201cWell done.\u201d The cosplay has even gone viral on Twitter, where users had similar sentiments for Universal\u2019s yearly Halloween attraction. \u201cUniversal Studios needs to make #TheLastOfUsHBO their new Horror Nights maze,\u201d the poster said. \u201cOMGGG no, cuz I\u2019d book my tickets as soon as they announce STOP,\u201d one fan admitted. We can\u2019t lie \u2014 it\u2019d definitely be super cool to experience the horror of the Last of Us\u2019 infected in real life. Just think what they could do with a bloater!
