Movies like Waxwork

Creepshow is an anthology horror film with stories written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero. Its unique blend of macabre humor and horror, along with the episodic structure, makes it a good match for fans of Waxwork's own anthology-style storytelling.

Fright Night is a horror-comedy about a teenager who discovers his neighbor is a vampire. Much like Waxwork, it has a balance of scares and laughs, with a self-aware sense of humor about the genre.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is quintessential 80s camp horror at its most bizarre. Its title creatures, like the many monsters of Waxwork, are both ridiculous and menacing, striking a chord with those who have a taste for the eclectic side of horror.

House mixes horror with comedy in a story about a haunted house that brings a troubled writer face to face with bizarre and terrifying entities. It’s a blend of genre elements that serves up chills and laughs alike, similar to what Waxwork offered.

This cult classic brings together a group of kids who find themselves facing off against a pantheon of classic monsters. If you enjoyed the mix of horror tropes and a lighter tone in Waxwork, The Monster Squad delivers a similar vibe with a youthful twist.

Another horror film from the late 80s, Night of the Demons shares the campy, over-the-top horror elements found in Waxwork. With a group of teenagers finding themselves trapped and fighting demonic entities, fans of horror-comedy will find this movie right up their alley.

As the direct sequel to Waxwork, this film continues the adventure with the survivors of the first movie as they jump through various dimensions in an attempt to stop the evil. Fans of the original movie will enjoy the further development of its unique blend of horror and humor.
