If you calculate the quality of a film based on the number of Ghoulies present, this is the greatest film of all time.

This might be the weirdest movie I have ever seen. If you are the President of Movies, please make us a fancy BluRay with multiple documentaries on the making of this movie. I will be forever grateful. Trying to describe it here will not do it justice. Watch this movie.

Although this movie tends to conflate "time" and "movie parodies" there's some things to enjoy about this mess. I'm pretty sure that the plot is that they need to get a zombie hand back from a time when zombies were real, and bring it to court so that Sara won't get the chair for the 201 deaths she is on the hook for from burning down the Wax Museum from the first movie. (Mark of course is beyond the reach of any laws for his part in the arson due to his rich guy privileges.) This story is mostly forgotten as we bop around through a few great movie parodies, and a few fairly phoned in ones. Oh, also half the scenes are mercilessly cribbed from Evil Dead 2. Join Matt and Tristan for what can truly be called the second movie in the Waxwork franchise, Waxwork 2.

Wax museums are catnip for teens. Everyone knows that. So when one appears from out of nowhere in the middle of a very rich suburban neighborhood, the only question on anyone's mind is, "How soon can we get in there and look at the wax dummies?" That's when David Warner appears, dressed as Willy Wonka-by-way-of-rodeo-clown, and invites you to that classic teen gathering, the midnight wax museum party. You go, of course, but before long you start to realize that this might be one of those EVIL wax museums, where they have 18 of the most evil souls of all time, and need to sacrifice a certain number of people to make 666 or something. Too late. You just got Waxworked.

Not one scene of Farmer Vincent making his eponymous fritters. Ruined the experience for me. 1 out of 5 stars.
