| Horror 100 No. 78 Lionel Atwill, who appears in tens of Universal movies (usually in menacing roles) has one of his best ever parts as Henry Jarrod, a wax sculpter who becomes psychically and mentally scarred in the same fire that destroys his museum. As revenge, he induces enemies into his new wax museum as exhibits. When he meets Fay ('King Kong') Wray, he decides she would make the perfect Marie Antoinette... There is more humour in this Warner Bros. production than in most horrors movies of the time, but that only helps to increase tension in the build-up to the famous finale. Directed by Michael ('Casablanca') Curtiz, this inspiration for 'House of Wax' was an early effort in Technicolor. After this, Wray and Atwill also co-starred in 'The Vampire Bat', and 'Dr. X' (also for Curtiz). |
