Written and directed by Anthony Hickox. Starring Zach Galligan, Deborah Foreman, David Warner, Dana Ashbrook, John Rhys-Davies, Michelle Johnson and Miles O’Keeffe.
Plot: the owner of a wax museum uses his exhibits to unleash evil into the world.
I remember loving this movie when I was a kid. Sadly, it doesn’t completely hold up as an adult. But it does have it’s fun points. I mean, it’s a really cool concept. It’s about a group of young people that go to a wax museum filled with classic horror displays – Dracula, the Wolfman, the Phantom of the Opera, etc. – and wind up getting sucked into some of them. There was nice innovation of course with a concept like that. And it was entertaining, just not as much as I remember.
DJ thought it was really good in parts, but really slow in others. If it had been a half hour television episode of the Twilight Zone or something, he would’ve liked it a lot more. There was also a lot of overacting and a lot of gimmicky things instead of straight comedy that he didn’t like. And he thought that the fight scene between the elderly people and the wax people was utterly ridiculous.
I recommend at least a viewing, but you could probably do without seeing it. It’s just sort of there in the annals of horror history.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
