This is a famous film for its pioneering use of 3-D , and the most popular the era in this format , a status it retains today . An associate burns down a wax museum with the owner (Vincent Price as a wax-dummy maker , this role launched on his terror film cycle , especially for Roger Corman) inside, but he survives only to become vengeful and murderous . As the deranged sculptor rebuilds his fire-destroyed showplace , as he creates a sinister wax museum which showcases amazing figures . The sculptor after a disfiguring face resorts to murder , strange experiments and installs wax-covered corpses . When he meets his new assistant's nice friend, Sue Allen , (Phyllis Kirk , though Joan Weldon and Vera Miles were both contenders for the role of Sue Allen ; Phyllis said that she had "no fond memories" of working with Charles Bronson) he knows he's found the perfect model .
This is an remake of the early horror flick and one of the 50s most popular 3-D films and it was the first film released with a stereophonic soundtrack . This is a chiller story with grisly horror , genuine thrills and shocks . This was reportedly Warner Brothers' one of the biggest success and the first 3-D color movie ever to be produced by a major American studio . The eerie story contains bit good fun with killings , chilling interpretations , relentless horror and thrilling events . The chiller version of the 50s packs scary chills and terrifying deaths . The wax figures are the real stars of this production , being rightly realized . Some scenes are clumsily shot but the movie has some good moments here and there , the illogical parts in the argument are more than compensated for the excitement provided by the creepy wax models , eerie killers and many other things . This one stills has the power to give the audience the creeps , thanks to another extraordinary acting by Vincent Price . Fine support cast such as Frank Lovejoy , Charles Bronson credited as Charles Buchinsky, Angela Clarke , Roy Roberts , Paul Cavanagh , Carolyn ¨Morticia Adams¨as a victim and Nedrick Young, who plays the alcoholic assistant Leon, was uncredited because he had been blacklisted during the McCarthy "Red scare" era in Hollywood . Rousing and suspenseful original music by David Buttolph . Colorful as well as glimmer cinematography with brilliant colors by Bert Glennon . This creepy and gory horror movie was professionally by director André De Toth - who was blind in one eye and hence could not see the effect . Andre De Toth was a classical director , Western usual (Indian fighter, Man in the saddle, Ramrod , Last of Comanches , The stranger wore a gun), but also made Peplum (Gold for the Caesar) and adventure (The Mongols , Morgan the pirate , Tanganyika) .
Other films dealing with ¨House of wax¨ are the followings : 1933 vintage horror classic and rarely seen ¨Mystery of the wax museum¨ , here main starring was a heroin addict but that had to be changed for the remake, it was starred by Lionel Atwill , Fay Wray , Glenda Farrell ; ¨Terror in the Wax Museum¨ (1973) by George Fenady with Ray Milland , Elsa Lanchester , Maurice Evans , John Carradine , Patrick Knowles , ¨Waxwork¨ (1988) by Anthony Hickcock with Zach Galligan , Joe Baker , Deborah Foreman , Michelle Johnson , David Warner .
