![]() ![]() He failed, and it’s now up to Mark to stop Lincoln from unleashing a Madame Tussauds apocalypse. The film pads on mythology as it builds to its conclusion, with Mark visiting Sir Wilfred (Patrick Macnee) who tells Mark that his grandfather devoted his life to keep this very thing (wax figures running amok and taking over the world, apparently) from happening. In all likelihood, it was probably this aspect of the film and the inclusion of de Sade that got Hickox the job directing Hellraiser III. And she doesn’t want that fantasy ruined for her. She’s trapped in a fantasy, not a nightmare, even if it’s self-destructive. When Mark appears to save her, she does not want to be saved and refuses to even try and remember who Mark is, at least for a moment. When it comes to a head, she’s on her knees with de Sade announcing that he is going to whip her to death, and Sarah is begging him to do it. He represents everything that Sarah keeps deep down, every urge she won’t let herself feel. ![]() He’s the face of pleasure and pain intertwined, in fact, he’s where the term sadism originated from. He was famous for sexual liberation so extreme that it frequently resulted in death. Sarah is completely taken, even smitten, with the Marquis de Sade. Yet with Sarah, it’s not a classic literary monster that captures her attention, but a monster of historical significance. The sex-driven China is captivated by the Count, even as a wax figure, and so she steps in to get a better look. Most of the characters see something in a particular exhibit in the waxwork that lures them into the world of that monster. She plays to that repression, what it really means, and what hidden desires might be lurking just underneath it. But Hickox uses her to explore that very character type and what it means. At first glimpse she’s almost a stock character. She is in a lot of ways the typical repressed virgin. Where Waxwork gets really interesting, though, is in the characterization of its heroine, Sarah (played by Deborah Foreman). For such an FX-heavy production, it’s impressive to see that everything from the werewolves down to the man-eating plants appear to be handled with equal care. Decapitations and eviscerations abound, as well as a very inventive use of a wine rack, and Keen handles these sequences just as well as the monsters. Generally a horror film with a more fantasy-based premise will shy away from gore, but Waxwork has no interest in doing that. So, to be able to release these deluxe packages is a dream come true.“Ĭheck out this sweet promo video and all the vinyl details below.CLICK HERE For 100s of FREE Trashy Horror Movies! So many of these films are greatly under appreciated and, they all contain such great music. So I jumped at the opportunity to work with Waxwork on this project.” Says Zombie, “I can’t wait to release these albums. “I have always been a huge fan of movie soundtracks. Titles include premiere releases of Spider Baby, Carnival Of Souls, The Last Man On Earth, The House On Haunted Hill, Island Of Lost Souls , and many selections from the HAMMER film library. The collection features deluxe packaging, heavyweight colored vinyl, new artwork by prominent Horror illustrator Graham Humphreys, liner notes and interviews conducted by Rob Zombie with filmmakers and actors. ![]() Their mission is to unearth, re-master, and release classic, left-of-center Horror soundtracks from his personal favorite films. Following those successful partnerships, Zombie explored additional collaborations with Waxwork. Zombie and Waxwork have previously partnered on the official soundtracks to Zombie’s films House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, 3 From Hell, The Lords of Salem, Halloween 1 & 2, and The Munsters. It amazes me that a film that is so readily available can be so lost.” Rob Zombie has said, “It’s a great film that not a lot of people know about. The 1932 classic starring Bela Lugosi is considered the first zombie movie, and has gone on to influence mainstream media, including a familiar band name. The first release in the collection will be Rob Zombie Presents WHITE ZOMBIE. The Rob Zombie Presents collection will feature several never-before-released film soundtracks personally selected by the singer, songwriter, and filmmaker. It is truly the year of the Zombie! House of 1000 Corpse just celebrated twenty years of traumatizing audiences, and now Waxwork Records is partnering with Rob to release an exclusive, curated line of classic horror movie soundtracks. ![]()
