To try and put it into terms I think most people will understand, what the Evil Dead trilogy is to hardcore fans (I too love Evil Dead don’t get me wrong), the Waxwork films are to me, only sadly, the trilogy was never completed. Waxwork, I want to say is my most favorite horror film of all-time, but that’s a tough slot, so I’ll default to saying it’s definitely in my top 10, which is overflowing with dozens of titles (you know how that goes).
#WAXWORKS IMDB MOVIE#
*We’re not supposed to remember that Sarah was rich in the first movie and poor in this one.UPDATE - Big news, that will also help answer some questions I posed in this article, a proper Blu-ray of Waxwork is being released. This one is even more out there than the original and expands on the concepts to be more adventure, which I was totally on board for. They could have made fifty of these movies and I would have watched every single one. This film also has a great cast, with everyone from Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp as Baron Von Frankenstein to Bruce Campbell, Michael Des Barres (the singer of the bands Detective and the Power Station, as well as MacGyver nemesis Nicholas Helman), Sophie Ward ( Young Sherlock Holmes), a pre-Deanna Troi Marina Sirtis, John Ireland, Die Hard bad guy Alexander Godunov, Maxwell Caulfield, David Carradine, Juliet Mills (!) and even Drew Barrymore in an uncredited role as the victim of a vampire. Hyde, Alien, Godzilla, Frankenstein, The Haunting, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Jack the Ripper, Nosferatu and a film the original Waxwork already teased, Dawn of the Dead. They enter God’s video game, which makes me hope that there is a Divine Creator, becuase that means that our heroes get to play in the worlds of Dr. Going back to Sir Wilfred’s home - he’s been reborn as a raven - they learn that they must join the army of light angels and use the various nic nacs that have been assembled throughout time to get the evidence needed to clear her name. The zombie hand that survived the last film has killed Sarah’s abusive stepfather (George “Buck” Flower!) with a sledgehammer and she’s charged with the crime. I also realize that this isn’t a slasher as much as the first film, but I still wanted to cover this sequel during our month of the genre. Much like House II, this movie takes the ideas of the first movie and spins them deliriously out of control into another film that feels barely connected to the original while still being totally great. However, while writer/director Anthony Hickox and Zach Galligan returned for this movie, Deborah Foreman and Hickox had had a bad breakup, so she was replaced* by 6’1″ supermodel Monika Schnarre, who was also in Hickox’s Warlock: The Armageddon. We start right where the last film ended, with Mark and Sarah escaping the burning wax museum.
