You're cordially invited to a midnight showing at the Waxwork! Just don’t step over the rope… and watch out for that evil baby.
This week on Midnight Cinema, Art and Erik risk waxy death to revisit Waxwork (1988), the horror-comedy where walking into a museum exhibit means walking straight into your own B-movie demise. They dig into the film’s gloriously bonkers blend of monsters, mayhem, college sex comedy and mid-budget madness, with horny vampires, bargain-basement mummies, and a ray guns that shoot bullets? It's a movie that asks, “What if your nightmares had budget troubles?"
From jaw-dropping production values and sometimes head-scratching effects to surprise appearances by legit actors who are giving it their all, our hosts break down what makes Waxwork such an unforgettable cult classic. There’s blood, jokes, weird sexual tension, and lots of dictator talk. Whether you love it, hate it, or forgot it existed, we’ve got takes: hot, cold, and dipped in wax.
