Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 33 Wax Magic Review

Wax Magic originally aired on November 14, 1988. This is the first episode in the series that Micki does not appear in. It's very shocking to not have her in the episode since she's been in 32 consecutive episodes so far. The episode does work without her, but I don't want her to be gone for much longer. The cursed antique in this episode was a handkerchief that could make a wax figure come to life. In order for the main girl in the episode, who had been completely waxed so the villain could have her as his wife, to survive, she had to, unknowingly, kill people to make her become more and more human. It's weird and confusing and not really explained all that well, which is a major downfall to this episode. However, having the main girl self-sacrificially melt was a little scarring. I'm not likely to forget that image for a long time. Major props for creating a visual that's memorable long after the end credits roll. This was an uneven episode. It fell short because of a confusing explanation for the cursed antique, but the ending was outstanding.
