Product Description:
In order to rebuild his wax museum after a fire, professor Henry Jarrod has resorted to using human bodies covered with wax...
Amazon.com:
House of Wax brought Vincent Price into the horror genre, where he fit as snugly as a scalpel in a mad scientist's hand. A remake of the 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum, this entertaining Gothic shocker casts Price as a sculptor of wax figures; his unwilling victims--er, "models"--lend their bodies to his lifelike depictions of Marie Antoinette and Joan of Arc. The film was one of the top 10 moneymakers of its year, thanks in part to the 3-D gimmick, which explains why so many things are aimed at the camera (why else would the paddleball man be there?). Footnote to history: director Andre De Toth was blind in one eye, and thus could not see in three dimensions.
Not at all a musty relic of the early-sound era, the original Mystery of the Wax Museum (shot in a soft, trial version of Technicolor) is saucy, pre-Code fun. As corpses disappear from the morgue, Lionel Atwill's wax museum adds to its displays. Coincidence, or the work of the hideously deformed fiend stalking the Manhattan night? Most of the snappy dialogue comes courtesy of reporter Glenda Farrell, a vintage wisecracking dame. --Robert Horton

I have watched this horror classic numerous times over the years, and am still captivated by it. A remake of 1933's Mystery of the Wax Museum, this 1953 Andre de Toth-directed movie reflected the beginning of the 3-D mania. The film stars Vincent Price as Prof. Henry Jarrod, a talented and obsessive wax sculptor who runs a waxworks museum in New York circa early 1900s. His greedy partner, Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts) is dissatisfied at their meager profits, and insists on displaying more suggestive ... Read More

This 1953 color movie was originally released as a 3D movie, something very popular in the 1950s. The storyline is basically this: It is early twentieth century New York, and a wax sculptor named Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price) refuses to give in to his financial partner's wishes for better wax exhibits to boost profits for the museum. In reliation, this business partner, Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts) sets fire to the museum which destroys all of Jarrod's life's work. However, Jarrod survives the fire ... Read More

I found The Ghost and Mr. Chicken at Amazon and upon seeing the price, jumped on it. I remembered seeing this film as a child and thought it was a perfect family style film to watch with my children for Halloween as it has that perfect combination of just a bit of creepiness with lots of laughs and a little drama.

Andres de Toth's 1953 HOUSE OF WAX has a great ensemble cast. Vincent Price, Phyllis Kirk, Frank Lovejoy, Paul Picerni, and a very young Charles Bronson and Carolyn Jones. The story/script is good and moves along at a good pace. The beautiful color of the film and the time period, around the 1890's or turn of the century, add to the story. Love the clothes and impressive sets and the "look" of the film.
In my opinion, this film, of the two movies on the DVD, has more of a horror feel to it ... Read More
