House of Wax
1953. USA. Dir: Andre de Toth. With Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy. 90 min.A tortured wax sculptor develops some very sinister ideas about finding "models" for his new museum. The film which really began Price's career as horror icon (and which also features Charles Bronson as Igor) was originally billed for its 3-D, but one-eyed director de Toth imbues it with a fun and creepy elegance beyond gimmickry.
