Despite a turn on Broadway in Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues" in 1985, Galligan soon became remanded to genre fare, predominantly horror films like the middling "Waxwork" (1988) and its even worse sequel "Waxwork II: Lost in Time" (1992). He fared slightly better as the gullible young husband in "Mortal Passions" (1989), which at least had festival screenings before being consigned to the video shelves. More recent outings like "All Tied Up" (1994) and "Cupid" (1997) have gone directly to video stores. Galligan continues to make the occasional guest appearance on TV episodics such as "Melrose Place" and "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman".
