Mark ed i suoi amici, invitati da un misterioso individuo, decidono di passare la notte in un tenebroso museo delle cere, appena aperto. Nessuno di loro, però, sa che, oltrepassando i cordoni che circondano le statue, si finisce catapultati in una dimensione parallela, abitata dalla creatura raffigurata.
