The intimacy of this line, the intimacy of the whole scene really, is way deeper than anything else that happens in the movie. Oh, don’t be angry just because she had her first orgasm at the end of a whip. When Mark tears her away from him, the Marquis has to get in a final dig: She clings onto the leg of the Marquis de Sade and begs him to keep her. When Mark finally makes his way into the display to save her from the Marquis, he finds that she’s not only enjoying being bound and whipped, but she actively wants to stay. She’s the terrified-yet-willing virgin about to be ravaged by a madman. Rather than struggle against her bonds or yell that this isn’t real, Sarah immediately succumbs to her role in the scene. The men discuss her fate and they decide she needs to be whipped. Instead, we enter a scene where Sarah is carted off to the Marquis as his offering to the prince. There’s no camp to be found, no funny one-liners, no ridiculous practical effects. The tone of the Marquis de Sade scene is a departure from the rest of the film. Before Mark can pull her away, she steps onto the display and enters the kinky world of the depraved Marquis de Sade. Unfortunately Sarah, well-known sweet and innocent virgin that she is, is taken by the Marquis de Sade display. They need to burn down the museum before the last displays can claim victims or it may just mean the end of the world. He enlists the help of remaining teen Sarah, played by Deborah Foreman. Mark, played by Zach Galligan from Gremlins, wants to go back to the waxwork to finally destroy the place for good. Most of the teens have been turned into wax figures. Either way, if you’ve seen Waxwork, you probably know what scene I’m talking about. Perhaps it was just a bit too risque for my childhood brain or maybe the raw sexuality of it was out-of-place in an otherwise lighthearted movie. There’s always been one scene that stuck out to me though. Watching Tony yelling at the sky, assuming he’s in a hologram, as he ends up at the claws and gnashing teeth of the Wolf Man is horror comedy gold. It was that right mix of serious scares and brightly colored chuckle-inducing camp that made ’80s horror movies so special.

I loved this movie as a kid, along with its 1992 time-hopping sequel.

5 Zodiacs Who Have The Power To Manifest Soulmate Love This Summer.

As each teen steps into a different display, they live out each scary story and become a permanent part of the exhibit.

It’s a veritable playground for horror fans. Wolf Man, Count Dracula, zombies galore–the gang’s all there. As they tour the museum, without a helpful guide, they find scene after scene of classic horror stories. As teens are wont to do, they went against their better judgement and traipsed their way into uncertain death. A group of teens are invited to a private midnight tour of a creepy wax museum that popped up in their neighborhood seemingly overnight. Horror fans might remember 1988’s Waxwork.
