House of Wax

Tweet

This movie is one of my all time favorite horror classics. I think it compares far more than the original which was Mystery Of The Wax Museum released in 1933 starring Glenda Farrell, Lionel Atwill and future scream queen Fay Wray. The release featuring Vincent Price is definitely a lot darker than the original. In the original you have a roving reporter trying to get a story and bits of comedy. Charles Bronson joins the cast starring along Vincent Price as his mute apprentice Igor(every horror movie from 1930-1960 I think had an Igor hehe;) ) We also get to see one of the main victims being played by Carolyn Jones(Morticia to all you Addams Family fans.) I'll have to admit I can't watch this one with the lights off. I've got something against creepy looking wax figures who might quite possibly be real people. I think the special effects are really good, even the real people who are playing wax figures do a good job on staying still.(the original I dont think an attempt was made to even use wax figures) I was just wondering what people think of this movie? have you seen the remakes? care to comment about Vincent Price? I noticed this isn't listed as anyones interests but hopefully someone will respond I'm a true classic horror buff. -Stephanie
