House of Wax holds the distinction of being the first major studio production filmed in 3D. Jarrod’s trauma has taken his artistic obsession to a new level and his plans are far more diabolical than they at first appear. His intent is to use two beautiful roommates ( Carolyn Jones, Phyllis Kirk ) as his “models” for Joan of Arc and Marie Antoinette. Badly burned, Jarrod can no longer sculpt so he enlists the aid of two assistants ( Charles Bronson, Nedrick Young ) to create his wax statues in order to reopen the museum. Early on, his partner ( Roy Roberts ) burns down the museum in pursuit for ill gotten gains with Prof.
Henry Jarrod, a brilliant sculptor whose works populate the wax museum he owns. In this episode, your Grue Crew – Erin Miskell, Chad Hunt, Joseph Perry, & Jeff Mohr – wax poetic on the 3D groundbreaking House of Wax (1953).ĭirected by André De Toth and written by Crane Wilbur from a story by Charles Belden, House of Wax tells the story of Prof. The master of the macabre makes it all seem so much more normal. Then you realize Vincent Price is the actor portraying Prof.
Henry Jarrod is talking to a wax sculpture as if it is a living human being. “Everything I ever loved has been taken away from me, but not you, my Marie Antoinette, for I will give you eternal life.” A strange line indeed, especially when you discover Prof.
