Movie Info

In this horror film, an evil magician creates a wax display of famous monsters and murderers and invites a group of unsuspecting young college students to view the collection. However, when the kids are trapped in the deadly displays, one-by-one they soon discover that the wax models are more than they appear to be. ~ Iotis Erlewine, Rovi

Just sort of lays there for long stretches like a dead weasel.

Audience Reviews for Waxwork

Pure 80's horror cheese at its best. The actual idea is pretty good, covering many genres in one go, with a bit of tweaking it could have been the next Creepshow but then maybe a bigger budget would have taken away all its charm. Watching Patrick Macnee shout "Oh my goodness" as he gets his head ripped off by a werewolf has got to be one of the best horror film moments of all time.

Entertaining comic horror which see's six young friends lured to a mysterious waxwork museum where the owner has plans to make them part of the exhibit. It's a little silly but a good fun ride all the same. You have a good range of classic monsters on show from Vampires, Zombies and Werewolves and a decent amount of gore too. It all has a rushed feel to it and the editing is very choppy but that just keeps the excitement flowing!

    1. China: Vampires are fiction!
    2. Elderly Man: No! They're real! And they can only be killed by a crucifix, wood through their heart, or decapitation!

    1. Marquis de Sade Girl #3: Lucky bitch. Just because she is a virgin she gets to get beaten in front of the English Prince? I mean, we were all virgins once.

    1. Marquis de Sade: It seems, she prefers our company, young man. I must say, your girlfriend gave up quite an entertaining show. What a slut she is.
    2. Mark: Until the girl dies you don't really exist. You're just trapped in your little world.Your words mean nothing.
    3. Marquis de Sade: Oh don't be angry, just because she had her first orgasm at the end of a whip, and not by your touch.
