Anthony Hickox Dies Of Heart Surgery: Director Of Horror Films Waxwork & Hellraiser III

Anthony Hickox, the British director known for horrors such as Waxwork and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, died October 9 aged 64.

Hickox had spent his recent years in Romania, where police found him dead last week at his house in Bucharest after friends had reported not seeing him for some time, according to close friend and InterTalent Rights Group CEO Jonathan Shalit.

Best known for his work in the comedy-horror genre, Hickox’s best known work was 1988’s Waxwork, which starred the likes of Zach Gilligan, Deborah Foreman and Michelle Johnson and was inspired by a 1920s German silent film. It is claimed Hickox wrote the script for Waxwork after driving into the back of Staffan Ahrenberg’s car and persuading the producer to let him pay for the damage by writing the script for just $3,000.

Hickox also directed a sequel and films such as Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat and Warlock: The Armageddon. He directed Steven Seagal in direct-to-DVD release Submerged and his most recent project was 2020’s Infamous 6, which shot in Hong Kong. He had begun his career as club promoter in London the early 1980s, during which time he financed his first short, Rock-a-bye-baby.
