David Lincoln is a local Waxwork owner and devil-servant in the town of (get ready for it) Santa Carla. Of course, because of this combination it is no puzzle to see what really goes on in his Waxwork, especially during a rash of missing-persons.
Long ago Lincoln stole artifacts from, then killed his one time employer, "time-warrior" (watch the sequel!) and adventurer Hallow Loftmore. The artifacts once belonged to 18 of the most evil people (apparently including Audrey Jr., Quasimodo, and the "It's Alive" baby) on earth. and Lincoln used a combination of voodoo and waxwork to bring parts of their time periods back to life, each one requiring one death inside, leading up to the waxworks and time periods being able to come to life outside the waxwork and overtake the world once each one is complete.
Surprisingly, Lincoln actually fulfills the first part, bringing every statue (including the deceased inside) to evil life, however, blocking their escape is the warriors of local "Van Helsing figure" (and good friend of the late Hallow Loftmore) Sir Wilfred (q.v.), who do battle with the exhibits and manage to defeat most of them, while Mark Loftmore, protagonist of the film and the grandson of the man Lincoln betrayed takes off after the deadly curator.
After he and his girlfriend Sarah defeat Lincoln's meanest Waxwork in the form of the Marquis De Sade (q.v.), they are confronted by Lincoln himself, standing atop a balcony (positioned precariously above a hot tub of wax of course) inside his wax-working room, pointing a weird-looking gun at them.
"One more thing before you kill me Lincoln" Mark interjects into the situation.
"You know my name" replies Lincoln surprised.
"I should" says Mark back "You murdered my grandfather"
"You're a Loftmore? Lincoln calmly replies, "Old hallows grandchild. Well well well what a coincidence, its such a small world."
"then why do you want to end it?" our collegiate hero asks
"Somebody has to see you in hell" Lincoln says, as nonchalantly as always, aiming the uzi directly at Mark and Sarah.
Miraculously, Sir Wilfred bursts into the room at that moment brandishing a gun of his own. All it takes is a single shot from the hunter-leader to topple the "immortal" (keyword "devil's-servant" = ageless) Lincoln. However, the killer-curator still proves to be a threat, displaying the willpower to unload his gun, just missing his betrayed employer's grandson by mere inches as he slowly topples backwards through the flimsy railing and into his own waxen-stew, much to the relief of all 3 of the protagonists.
Our heroes relief is somewhat short lived. Sarah screams as an extremely aggravated David Lincoln pops out of the wax, flesh tearing from the heat, grabs John by the shouders and gives his semi-catchphrase "Would you like a closer look?" one last time before weakly letting go and defeatedly sinking back into the boiling vat.
