## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

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.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, neon-soaked, unhinged
