I find Waxwork 2 to be an improvement in practically every way to it's predecessor. Waxwork did lag in a few places but Waxwork 2 never lets up and I can't recall once being bored through the whole thing. Also the comedy has been notched up and I think for the better. The acting is good, the effects/production design is top notch as well and the music is even better than before, including a cheezy rap video during the end credits. Also the many homages are quite good and funny with the Dawn of the dead and Nasfaeruatu(I know that's not spelled right) being the funniest. The only real complaints I have with this one is the change in the characters(Sarah going from rich to in a crappy apartment), there was too much time spent in the medieval tale, and some of the other homages like the Dawn of the dead one should've been longer. Overall I find this to be a superior sequel that is never boring and constantly entertaining. P.S. Look out for a funny cameo by Bruce Campbell.

Waxwork is a series of homages to classic horror films involving a story of wax displays that come to life. This movie is quite entertaining with some good gore and the makeup effects are well done considering the low budget. Also there's some humorous bits, some nice atmosphere, great 80s music, and some great homages. Though the fact that you can tell that the waxworks are actually actors trying to hold a pose is somewhat annoying and the pace does lag a little in parts. Also the acting, while not bad, isn't anything real worthy. Basically this is an entertaining little homage that does lag in a few places but is definitely worthwhile.
