What Waxwork is

Victorian mansion. Fogged London night. A distant scream. The waxworks look too real. Step past the velvet rope, and step into their worlds: vampires, werewolves, zombies, and more. Each tableau vivant pulls visitors into its own gruesome reality. Gory practical effects elevate this late-80s horror past simple parody.
