It never ceases to completely amaze me when a clearly awesome movie sneaks past me. I’m not sure how I survived without having seen the 1953 House of Wax, but after having watched these clips it will be a Halloween must view for me this year.
We have four clips for you here (my favorite being Unmasked) to celebrate the restored and remastered High-definition 3D Blu-ray available October 1st in honor of its 60th Birthday. Here’s the synopsis and the clips.
Professor Henry Jarrod is the owner and figure sculptor in a wax museum whose specialty is historic figures. When he and his business partner, Matthew Burke quarrel over the choice of exhibits displayed, Burke suggests it would be more profitable to burn down the museum in order to obtain the insurance money. As they fight, the museum burns and Jarrod is left for dead. It’s not until much later at a new museum that the fate of Jarrod and the mystery of how the lifelike waxed figures are created becomes gruesomely evident.
