After the success of their Elvira-based adventure games, HorrorSoft followed them up in 1992 with another point-and-click horror/adventure in the original IP Waxworks, which is so similar to the Elvira games that it's often considered a spiritual sequel.The storyline was fairly simple: After the death of your uncle, he leaves you his wax works, a crystal ball, and a letter telling you that you must rid the family of a curse put upon it by Ixona, an evil witch from the distant past, which has affected them whenever twins were born. One twin turns out good, and the other evil. To defeat each evil twin, you must use your uncle's wax works to go back in time to four periods and locations: An Ancient-Egyptian pyramid, Victorian London — in which the evil twin is none other than Jack the Ripper — a cemetery teeming with zombies, and a vast mine shaft filled with plant mutants. If you can destroy the evil twin from each stage, you will be able to enter one final wax work, the Witch's lair, and rid the family of its curse for good. If you need assistance, you can speak to your uncle through the crystal ball for clues and tips.But much like the Elvira games, the story is hardly the most memorable aspect. In addition to being Nintendo Hard, the game is notorious for having horrifically realistic and gory death scenes. If this isn't the game with the most disturbing Game Over screens in history, then it is certainly a worthy contender for the title. It actually makes the Elvira games seem somewhat tame by comparison. That said, it's a great point-and-click adventure game. Just prepare like you won't believe... and you may wish to avoid eating during gameplay.For those interested in the game, a longplay of the Amiga version can be found here, and the game is available for sale as a download at Gog.com.An Indie-budgeted Video Game Remake of the game developed by Went2Play, Waxworks: Curse of the Ancestors, was released on Steam Early Access on January 8th, 2020, and saw a full release on December 20th, 2021. The remake evolves the game from the original's Eye of the Beholder style grid-based mazes to modern fully three-dimensional environments.Not to be confused with the film Waxwork, which had a similar premise. | |

All There in the Manual: The game came with a short novel that served as both exposition and prologue. It also reveals the witch's name as Ixona, which is never mentioned in the game. Uncle Boris does encourage the player to read it at the beginning of the game instead of jumping right in. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: While the game isn't a true sequel to the Elvira games, it's similar enough that it might as well be, and is a lot gorier than either of them — and keep in mind, they were no slouches in the gore department, either. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Waxworks (1992) (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Not too serious, but there are several items that don't belong to the period they're found in: Giant glass panels and tuning forks in ancient Egypt. The graveyard level is supposed to take place after the mineshaft level if you are to believe the plaques. However, in the latter you find a lot of modern technologies — Dynamite, elevators, pneumatic drills and a truck at the end — while there are no traces of such in the former, and even the clothing has more of an 18-19th century style. Averted in the remake, which dates the graveyard as taking place in the late 15th century and the mines as taking place in the 1920s. | |

Not His Sled: The remake completely changes the finale. Instead of going in a final waxwork to kill the witch before she can cast the curse, her ghost comes out from it to deal with you personally, forcing you to fight her in the waxworks building. When you kill her once and for all, she burns the building in a last ditch attempt to kill you, and you need to drag a catatonic Alex outside to escape a firey death. And worst of all, there's no "YOU were the Evil Twin!" reveal this time! | |

Gameplay Roulette | |
| Waxworks (1992) (Video Game) / int_640a171f | comment |
Gameplay Roulette: Each level has its own style of play. The pyramid is based around puzzles and traps, Victorian London is stealth and evasion, the graveyard is the most action-packed, and the mine is almost like a pre-Resident Evil as you traverse a mine shaft full of plant mutants. The best weapon against them is the chemical thrower, but it has limited fuel and you must go to a certain spot on the map to refuel it. | |

Menacing Museum: Takes place inside a waxworks museum bequeathed to you by your late uncle. By itself, it's not actually dangerous, though it's undeniably disturbing thanks to the morbid historical displays and the creepy butler patrolling the building. But because of your uncle's mission to stop the Evil Twins of the family, the museum's exhibits become portals through time, leading you to medieval graveyards infested by the undead, booby-trapped Egyptian pyramids, Whitechapel at the height of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, and a mine plagued by mutant Body Horror. | |

A 5th waxwork level called Ixona's Forest was originally planned, but in the final release this was cut and the Witch simply attacks you in the museum after you clear the 4 waxworks. | |

That is most definitely not the case, as you only have a few seconds before the TNT explodes and collapses the mine. | |

Sociopathic Hero: Unlike the original game where the London Police and angry citizen mobs were obstacles to be avoided, in the remake they're regular enemies you can fight and kill. It's entirely possible to have a far higher body count than Jack the Ripper himself by the end of the night. Particularly odd as the game makes it explicit that Alex is the evil twin, while the original game implied it might actually be you, which would at least make this make a little more sense. | |

Death by Irony: Exaggerated according to the prologue. After the witch places the curse, she is later killed by the first evil twin for refusing to lift the curse. The irony then goes up to infinity and beyond in the ending after it is revealed you've been playing as the evil twin all along and Alex is actually the good twin. That means the last evil twin got to her before she was even able to cast the curse to begin with. The prologue also explains that the first twin had Ixona imprisoned and repeatedly tortured before finally having her executed, the latter of which took two whole days for her to finally die, during which time the snakes and snapping turtles in the surrounding bog slowly ate away at her still-living flesh, which could be seen as an example of Karmic Death. | |

King Mook | |
| Waxworks (1992) (Video Game) / int_baaf641a | comment |
King Mook: As in the original game, the High Priest of Anubis fights just like a regular enemy and isn't noticeably tougher. Though the fight can still be challenging as healing items are unusually scarce in the Pyramid waxworks, so it's possible you'll have to fight him with barely any health. | |

Fan Disservice: At one point in the Graveyard level, you find a relatively good-looking woman with impressive cleavage. Unfortunately, she's dead, there's a huge open hole in her chest, and you can take her heart from it to use it for a healing spell. | |

Witch Hunt: There is a mob searching for Jack the Ripper. If the player comes across them, they'll mistake the player as the killer and beat him to death. | |

Shout-Out: The part in the pyramid where the snakes come out of holes in the wall is very similar to an infamous scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. No snakes slithering out of human skulls, thankfully. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: According to the prologue and the waxwork itself, this is how Vlad the Impaler, the first evil twin, killed Ixona after she refuses to lift the curse. | |

Temple of Doom: The Egyptian level, which is filled with traps and puzzles made to kill the player instantly. Unlike most examples of this trope though, the player is entering it in ancient times instead of thousands of years later. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
| Waxworks (1992) (Video Game) / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: For many players, the vicious brutality they inflict on the witch at the climax is payback for the many gruesome deaths they undoubtedly suffered up to that point. Also character-wise, as it is your twin you're trying to save and the game makes it very clear nothing is going to stop you from doing so. Exaggerated and then some if you consider you're trying to save the good twin. | |

Adaptational Wimp: While in the original game an angry mob of citizens was an advancing wall of doom that you had to run away from, in this game they're just a group of two or three unarmed chaps in bowler hats who behave like regular enemies and who you can just kill with your machete. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Some of the Press X to Die instant deaths (such as being killed simply for examining the wrong coffin in the crypt) have been removed from the game, resulting in a lot less Trial-and-Error Gameplay. Though the game does retain some instant deaths that occur with little-or-no warning, such as the runaway mine cart in the mines. | |

Cain and Abel: Your family was cursed so that one of every set of twins becomes evil, and you have to go back in time using the titular waxworks building to kill the worst of them and break the curse. Your own brother is incapacitated before and throughout the game, and part of your goal is to save him, but other than this, the "evil twin" aspect isn't played up much: the evil brothers of the past include Jack the Ripper, a necromancer who looks far older than his good twin, and a human/fungus mutant who doesn't even resemble a human anymore. Then you get to the ending, however, and the "evil twin" aspect comes back to hit you in the face in full force. | |
