"I'm afraid that the visit of a such distinguished critic may cause my children to become conceited. To you they are wax, but to me their creator, they live and breathe." – Prof. Henry Jarod

Why watch this? ... this classic is set in a creepy wax museum with eerily life-like statues.

Plot Summary: Professor Henry Jarrod is a passionate wax sculptor whose creations are destroyed when his business partner burns down their museum for insurance money. Jarrod miraculously survives the fire but is horribly disfigured and left unable to sculpt. Some time later, bodies begin disappearing from the city morgue, and Jarrod opens a new wax museum featuring exhibits of historical figures who have been murdered in gruesome and shocking ways.

Dad's Preview: This gothic tale centers on the eventual madness of a wax museum curator. It was originally shown in 3D, a gimmick used often in the 1950's. This tingler also revitalized the career of Vincent Price, and would start a run of films where he was often featured portraying sophisticated, deranged, and murderous characters. Few actors could utter horror-centric lines like the legendary Mr. Price. Also, look for a young, buff Charles Bronson as the doctor's stern assistant, Igor.
