HOUSE OF WAX (1953) The film that catapulted Vincent Price into a full-fledged horror star. Price is a sculptor that is left for dead in his burning wax museum. Hideously scarred and insane, he returns with a new type of sculpting...heh, heh.
THE MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM (1933) A great early color horror flick. Lionel Atwill is a sculptor who tries to save his work when a greedy building owner want to burn the museum for insurance money. Atwill is knocked unconscious and left to die by the building owner. He survives...and now completely insane. He uses real dead bodies to mold wax over for his new exhibits. Horrifying climax with a great "unmasking" scene with help from the lovely Fay Wray.
