Midgets on Helium, giants, vampires, were-wolves, killer plants, aliens and the fella from Gremlins...what more do you want?!
Plot: Two teenage girls happen upon a waxwork museum, oddly situated in a suburb of their sleepy like town. Invited to a midnight viewing and encouraged to bring friends, the pair and their mates (including Zach Galligan- Gremlins) pop along. The museum seems to revel in the macabre, with every display depicting a scene from a monster of history or the supernatural. Being teens, a couple of the kids step over the barriers and are transported into the worlds of the displays, fighting for their lives and invariably failing and being turned into wax displays themselves. Zach and a female friend miss these happenings and leave, assuming their friends have taken off, only to notice their disappearance a few days later. The cops are useless (as ever), so Zach turns to the attic (as ever), which is laden with junk and supernatural mysterios, leading them to a disabled know-it-all (Patrick Macnee) and his underground group of occult fighters.
Scene of the film: When Macnee et al arrive, him riding his 'battle' wheelchair.
Budget: $1,500,000
Gross: $808,114 (I've seen worse films do much better at the box office)
Fun Fact: Watch out for a were-wolf in the guise of John Rhys Davis (Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, Sliders). Waxwork II: Lost in Time sees Zach Galligan reprise his role and Bruce Campbell supports.
