Collider reports that Waxwork (1988) is a scrappy horror-comedy now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi in the U.S.

The film follows a group of college students who enter a mysterious wax museum; the curator, played by David Warner, oversees exhibits that become portals into worlds featuring Dracula, zombies, werewolves, mummies and other figures.

Director Anthony Hickox stages the movie as a series of pulpy genre detours, and the article compares its tone and influences to titles such as House of Wax, Creepshow, The Monster Squad and Tales from the Darkside.

The piece highlights performances by Zach Galligan and lists Michelle Johnson, Dana Ashbrook and Deborah Foreman among the cast, noting the release date as June 17, 1988 and a runtime of 95 minutes.
