This movie has wit, excellent pacing and a strong supporting cast (including a blonde Carolyn Jones “Morticia” from the Addams Family) and a small role for Charles Bronson (playing Igor and billed as Charles Buchinsky). Prince gets to be both understated and hammy in the brilliant film, that he is likely best know for.

It catches the atmosphere of the Gaslight period, and is lighting speed, as Price goes from a brilliant artist of life-like wax figures, to a scarred man, nearly killed by his partner wanting the insurance. He is forced to watch his two crowning glories, his Joan of Arc and his Marie Antoinette destroyed in the fire. With scared hands, he is forced to use bodies to fill his new house of wax, while Price also manages to meet out a little revenge to his former partner.

At first bodies are vanishing from the morgue, but when Price sees Jones - the living image of Joan of Arc - and Phyllis Kirk, his Marie Antoinette come to life in his mind - he knows he must possess the bodies of both women to see if greatest works recreated.

Is so spooky, and Kirk ably screams her way from one mishap to the next. Just does not get any better.

Horror films in the 1950s were often set in earlier times - including “House of Wax” - a gothic-styled thriller. Vincent Price stars, and this movie was his first of many, many horror films. He’s perfect in this role, and it’s puzzling why no one had cast him as this type of character before. He plays Prof. Henry Jarrod, a wax figure sculptor who’s far too obsessed with his work. He’s the head of an unsuccessful wax museum and watches in disgust as other museums make money by showing horror style wax figures, such as mass murderers. When his museum is burned to the ground, he re-emerges and seeks vengeance on persons responsible.

The film received a great deal of buzz as the second 3-D film released by a major studio (”Bwana Devil” was the first); not surprisingly, it was a major hit, becoming the 7th biggest money-maker of 1953. “House of Wax” was actually a remake of a 1933 film, “Mystery of the Wax Museum.” In addition, a remake of this film is currently in the works, and should be released in 2005. One of the stars of the upcoming film is Paris Hilton, which should be interesting!

Although I prefer Castle’s horror films from this period, Price alone makes this film worthwhile. Carolyn Jones (”Addams Family”) is also fun as a kind harlot. Overall, the movie holds up pretty well, mostly because of its creepy tone. I saw the movie in 2-D but still enjoyed it quite a bit.
