Waxwork II: Lost in Time

After leaving the burning waxwork, Mark and Sarah escape in a taxi. The severed hand from the zombie exhibit slips away and tracks Sarah to her home, where it kills her stepfather with a hammer. This brutal act becomes the catalyst for Sarah's subsequent attempt to explain what happened inside the waxworks.

Sarah testifies about the waxwork incident before the court, recounting supernatural events she observed. The jury remains skeptical as she details the otherworldly danger she faced. Mark tries to corroborate her story from the spectators gallery, but he is abruptly removed from the courthouse.

Desperate to help, the pair visit Sir Wilfred's home and discover a film reel about his adventures. A hidden switch in Sir Wilfred's chessboard reveals a secret chamber filled with mysterious artifacts. There, they uncover Solomon's Locket, a device said to bridge realms in Kartagra.

Sir Wilfred explains Kartagra, a multiverse where cosmic battles between good and evil unfold. He reveals that many worlds are reflections of stories that have become reality, and that Solomon's Locket allows travel between them. Mark and Sarah realize their identities can be reshaped by the characters they inhabit.

Mark and Sarah begin jumping through the worlds of Kartagra, slipping into the roles of familiar heroes and villains. As they travel, their personalities sometimes get subsumed by the figures they embody, until they regain their own minds. They press on, intent on gathering evidence to clear Sarah's name.

In a medieval world, Scarabis tries to seize the throne by transmogrifying into the visiting king, while Mark opposes him in a sword duel. Sarah is revealed as Scarabis's sister, heightening the personal stakes of the confrontation. Mark ultimately disrupts Scarabis' attempt to take power.

Solomon's Locket is accidentally opened, triggering further jumps through various worlds. They encounter a world where a zombie invasion erupts in a mall. The couple fights their way through each realm, hoping to gather evidence to prove Sarah's innocence.

In the mall zombie world, Mark slices off a still-animate zombie hand and keeps it as evidence for Sarah's trial. The hand becomes a tangible reminder of Kartagra's crossover reality. They press on, collecting more clues across worlds.

Back in Scarabis' castle, Mark gains the upper hand in the duel. Scarabis dies violently at the hands of a woman who was turned into a grisly panther during a ritual to empower him. The sorcerer's demise marks a crucial turning point in their fight.

They attempt to return to their universe, but the doorway is smaller, allowing only one person to enter. Mark urges Sarah to go through and clear her name, even if it means they won't be together. They share a tearful farewell as the portal closes behind them.

Sarah returns to Sir Wilfred's secret vault with the zombie hand in tow. She discovers a partially covered painting of Mark, dressed as an armored time warrior. The image hints at their ongoing struggle and the fate that awaits them in Kartagra.

Back in the real world, Sarah's trial concludes with her innocence proven by the incredulous evidence. A courier delivers an antiquated package containing Solomon's Locket and a parchment reading: 'Join me'. The message foreshadows a future reunion with Mark in Kartagra.

Sarah boards a taxi as the crowd watches. The package and Mark's invitation hint at a summons to join him in Kartagra. With a flash of light, she disappears, leaving her fate open-ended.
