Curiozități

Waxwork is a 1988 American comedy horror film written and directed by Anthony Hickox in his directorial film debut and starring Zach Galligan, Deborah Foreman, Michelle Johnson, David Warner, Dana Ashbrook, and Patrick Macnee. It is partially inspired by the 1924 German silent film Waxworks.

Production

The script for the film was written by Hickox in three days. Initially there were concerns that the film would be too similar to The Monster Squad, which came out the year before. Bob Keen was also brought on board to handle the visual effects.

The "eighteen most evil beings" used in the film are references to Gothic literature or horror cinema. These beings are the Marquis de Sade, a werewolf, Count Dracula, a golem, the Phantom of the Opera, The Mummy, a mad scientist who creates zombies, Frankenstein's monster, Jack the Ripper, The Invisible Man, a shaman, a witch, a snake man, a demonic baby, an axe murderer, an an alien, a body snatching alien pod, and Mr. Hyde.
