Horror discussion #14 - House of Wax (1953)

[Alien Redrum]

IMDB Synopsis:

A horribly disfigured sculptor opens up the House of Wax in New York, using the wax-covered bodies of his victims as his displays. And he's now set his eyes on his Marie Antoinette...

[Alien Redrum]

While it may have one of the worst trailers ever, House of Wax is a great deal of fun, and Price kicks much ass in the movie.

I also liked seeing Bronson without a mustache.

Highly recommended.

[Neon Maniac]

I put reccomend. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I remember really liking it at the time, and it's way better than the Paris Hilton remake.

Never seen it, but isn't Paris Hilton supposed to be in it?

[zigzag]

I don't know why, but I've always liked the scene near the beginning where Carolyn Jones is getting dressed for her date. She puts on like six layers of clothes (in one long take) and yet remains quite thin at the end of the scene.
Vincent Price is brilliant as always and indeed Bronson rocks.
The remake was not as terrible as I had feared (more a remake in name only.)
Another great wax homage is the 1988 Waxwork.

[The Hitman]

See Paris die?
