Horror 101 - Episode 109: Waxwork
Listen now
Description
Last show we featured April Fool's Day from 1986, starring Deborah Foreman. She's going to be featured again in this 1988 film which also stars Zach Galligan from Gremlins and the legendary David Warner. There have been countless House of Wax type horror films since the dawn of cinema. In 1988 writer/director Anthony Hickox gave us his very first feature film which was his take on this subgenre. It was a hidden gem for me when I first found it on the VHS shelf 30 years ago. It is rarely showed a lot of love in the horror community and for that reason we are going to spend this podcast giving the horror 101 treatment to Waxwork.
