Waxwork II: Lost in Time is a 1992 horror/comedy film directed and written by Anthony Hickox.

[edit] Plot summary

The film opens with a renactment of the final scenes of Waxwork. Mark and Sarah leave the burning waxwork and part ways. Unbeknownst to them, they have been pursued by a disembodied zombie hand, which follows Sarah to her run-down flat, where she is berated by her stepfather, who had warned her about going out with her friends and scolds her for ruining her dress. Shortly after that, the hand scuttles into the room, kills the stepfather with a hammer, and tries to kill Sarah too. She shoves the hand down a waste disposal, covering the room in blood.

The next day, Sarah is blamed for the murder of her father, and brought to court where the destruction of the waxwork is brought up. No one believes her story and Mark disrupts her trial.

The two are temporary dismissed and, in the hope of gathering evidence, the two visit Sir Wilfred's home, where they find a filmreel of Sir Wilfred speaking of his and Mark's grandfather's adventures and of the artefacts they collected together. After finding a secret switch in Sir Wilfred's chessboard a door opens in the wall to a room full of objects.

Mark and Sarah finally come across a small compass-like device, and upon reading the directions in a piece of parchment contained with the device they read that it was used in history by light and dark angels to travel through to another dimension consisting of stories that have become realities (including Frankenstein, Alien, Godzilla, Jack the Ripper, Nosferatu, and Dawn of the Dead).
