Curiosidades
There were three characters that were supposed to be displays in the Waxwork, but left out of the film for legal reasons: Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series, five children from El pueblo de los malditos (1960), and La cosa (El enigma de otro mundo) (1982).

Pifias
(at around 21 mins) In the werewolf scene, when the hunters arrive to kill the werewolf, the young one hands the older one a box containing 3 silver bullets. The older hunter drops the bullets and as he is bending down, we see all 3 on the ground. A few minutes later the older hunter loads a silver bullet and shoots the werewolf. We then see Tony beginning to change. The older hunter kneels down to get another bullet and we see 3 intact bullets on the ground.

Citas
China: Can't a girl get laid around here without being burned at the stake?

7/10

The movie isn't perfect but very fun, well thought out and put together well. I strongly recommend this to fans of horror.

Waxwork is another VHS cover classic from 1988, now available for free on Tubi. Directed by Anthony Hickox (Waxwork 2, Hellraiser 3, and Warlock), the story is fairly straightforward: a group of high school friends discover a new waxworks exhibit in town and decide to schedule a private tour. But when the exhibits start coming to life, they quickly realize there's more to them than they bargained for.

The special effects are fantastic for the time, and the cast brings a strong sense of 80s nostalgia. Notable performances include Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Michelle Johnson (who stars in one of my favorite Tales from the Crypt episodes), Deborah Foreman (April Fool's Day), David Warner (Tron), and Michu (ALF).

While the movie isn't perfect, it's a lot of fun, well thought out, and put together nicely. I strongly recommend it to fans of horror. I'd rate it a 7/10.
