Waxworks (Das Wachsfigurenkabinett, 1923) Paul Leni | Expressionism | Silent Era |

Three stories inspired by three great villains in human history: Caliph Harun al Raschid, Tsar Ivan the Terrible and Jack the Ripper. These stories are told by a young poet, hired by the owner of the wax figure exhibition through a newspaper advertisement, to write advertising pieces in order to increase his clientele.

What do Abraham Lincoln, William Shakespeare and Henry VIII have in common? That's right, they grace the cover of the text adventure #Waxworks. But probably only because they are so recognisable in our collective memory. After all, who can picture wax figures of Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay or Tomás de Torquemada, who are actually mentioned in the game?
