He enlists the help of remaining teen Sarah, played by Deborah Foreman. Mark, played by Zach Galligan from Gremlins, wants to go back to the waxwork to finally destroy the place for good. Most of the teens have been turned into wax figures. Either way, if you’ve seen Waxwork, you probably know what scene I’m talking about. Perhaps it was just a bit too risque for my childhood brain or maybe the raw sexuality of it was out-of-place in an otherwise lighthearted movie. There’s always been one scene that stuck out to me though. Watching Tony yelling at the sky, assuming he’s in a hologram, as he ends up at the claws and gnashing teeth of the Wolf Man is horror comedy gold. It was that right mix of serious scares and brightly colored chuckle-inducing camp that made ’80s horror movies so special. I loved this movie as a kid, along with its 1992 time-hopping sequel. As each teen steps into a different display, they live out each scary story and become a permanent part of the exhibit. It’s a veritable playground for horror fans. Wolf Man, Count Dracula, zombies galore–the gang’s all there. As they tour the museum, without a helpful guide, they find scene after scene of classic horror stories. As teens are wont to do, they went against their better judgement and traipsed their way into uncertain death. A group of teens are invited to a private midnight tour of a creepy wax museum that popped up in their neighborhood seemingly overnight. Horror fans might remember 1988’s Waxwork.
