what's funny is the trivia claims that the plant was from Body snatchers, not little shop, and I call bull on that. It's definitely the plant from little shop, as it says at one point "feed me", which is a direct quote from Little Shop of Horrors. It's possible that line was added in for comedic effect, and the scene was supposed to be a body snatcher pod, but then that's their bad. If they can't keep their stories straight, then why should we?

I'd like to hear from the creators to get the official ghouls list, because I know some ghouls were changed for copyright reasons (The Thing, Friday the 13th, etc.), and I want to know the final list.

The Goblin was actually a witch and the the "Tribal Indian" was supposed to be an African witch-doctor.

Also, "The Count" is confirmed to be none other than Count Dracula.

None of the waxworks characters are actually named; they are just given titles. Dracula is just called "The Count," but we all assume it's Dracula because his costume is an imitation of 1931 Dracula's costume. He could be Count Orlak, or Vlad Tepes for all we know... They vaguely alluded to the characters to try to avoid copyright. I don't know if they did or not.

I had no idea what the Marquis was a reference to until I started searching. The costumers tried their best to make the characters identifiable through their clothing and through the themes rather than by name.

Also, if you were trying to take over the world, why are you using mostly people from the past? Sure, they may be EEEEEVIL, but they are literally outgunned. Almost everyone knows how to kill a vampire, a zombie, and a werewolf. Choose someone or something that we do not know how to kill due to lack of technology.

Like:

Villains from Science Fiction (Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, etc.)
Villains from Superhero comics and films (Justice League, The Avengers, X-Men, etc.)
Villains from Fantasy (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings)

Yes, these villains were all defeated... by people from their world who knew their weaknesses. How exactly do you kill a Sith, a Borg, a Dalek, or a Cylon? How do you kill Apokolypse, Loki, or Magneto? How do you kill Voldemort or Sauron when the object(s) keeping them alive is(are) in another dimension?

Now that would be a scary version of waxworks. I think the only way this plan would fail is if the villains started fighting amongst themselves.

Just a thought...

I was wondering about exactly where the "tribal indian" was supposed to be located, geographically I mean. He obviously lives on an island, as the display shows, but I'm thinking that it's a Carribean island, not Africa?? Like Haiti, isn't that where voodoo is most prevalant???
