Waxworks (original title: Das Wachsfigurenkabinett) is a 1924 fantasy/horror silent film written by Nosferatu screenwriter Henrik Galeen and directed by Paul Leni. The film is about a writer who accepts a job from a waxworks proprietor to write a series of stories about the exhibits of the Caliph of Baghdad, Ivan the Terrible, and Jack the Ripper in the museum in order to boost business.

Although Waxworks is often credited as a horror film, it is an anthology film that goes through various genres including a fantasy film adventure, a historical film, and a horror film. With live accompaniment music by Garden State Theater Organ Society’s Don Kinnier.
