Waxwork (1988)

In the seemingly ordinary town, a peculiar wax museum surfaces, its walls housing tales of horror and intrigue. David Lincoln, the enigmatic owner, extends an invitation to a group of high schoolers, Sarah and China among them, for an exclusive midnight exhibition. They are encouraged to bring along four more friends for this unique experience. Among the selected are Mark, China's well-heeled ex-boyfriend, and their common friend Tony; however, the last two invitees decide against attending. As the chime of midnight echoes, the teens are greeted by an unusual dwarf, and they disperse to explore the labyrinthine museum. Unbeknownst to them, the ropes that cordoned off the displays were not merely for protection. Tony, lured by a cabin exhibit, breaches the security rope and is ensnared in a terrifying altercation with a werewolf. China, too, ignores the boundary rope and is drawn into a gothic castle teeming with vampires. Both meet their untimely ends, their figures seamlessly integrated into the museum's haunting tableau. In the wake of their friends' eerie disappearances, Mark and Sarah delve into the mysteries surrounding the wax museum. Their search leads them to an attic, where an old newspaper reveals a sinister secret about David Lincoln. Inspector Roberts, the local police officer, dismisses their claims, pushing them to seek assistance from Sir Wilfred, a family friend of Mark's. The shocking revelation comes; David Lincoln is on the brink of unleashing an unimaginable evil upon the world. In this chilling adventure, the waxwork museum is more than a house of horrors—it's a vortex where the audience becomes part of the exhibit, pulled into the gruesome narratives depicted. As the boundary between fiction and reality blurs, the true terror of the museum begins to unfold. Will Mark and Sarah be able to halt the impending doom and save their town from the clutches of the waxwork's malevolent master?
