House of Waxwork #2 features two stories. The first is "Nowhere Wolf", from God Country and Baby Teeth writer Donny Cates, about a bloodthirsty creature stalking a 1940s carnival. The second story, "Time Capsule", was written by Rami Sharkey, about a fireman and a young girl trying to survive a nerve gas attack that has turned their entire town into zombies. White Zombie bassist Sean Yseult and veteran horror-film composer Douglas Pipes (Trick 'R Treat, Krampus) provide the soundtrack music for each tale.
