Wax Works/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Wax Works. Fucking Wax Works. It's a first-person point and click adventure game (that's almost identical to the Elvira Games, which also deserve a place here) that has you traveling back in time to different levels such as an Egyptian pyramid, Jack the Ripper-era London, a zombie-filled graveyard, and perhaps the worst, a mineshaft filled with plant mutants. What makes the game so scary? The death scenes, which are sterling examples of The Many Deaths of You and Have a Nice Death. It's strongly advised that you don't watch this video while you're eating. Just look at one of the zombie deaths, which sees you disemboweled Romero-style, or the "tongue mutant" death in the mines, which covers your face with disgusting boils. Or the vampire, who probably eats Cullens for breakfast.
      • And now for some irony: this was the last game made by Horrorsoft, which later became known as... Adventure Soft. That's right, the same guys who made Simon the Sorcerer!
      • But seriously, under no circumstances should you ever click this link and buy your own DRM-free copy of Wax Works for the low, low price of only $5.99 USD. Seriously, never do that.
