Hey Pur when the girl talks about her hanged friend, she is referring to Burke (she calls him Matty, his name is Matthew.) Her "date" is really Jarrod with his wax face
Huh. I've watched this movie more than a few times and never really realized that either. Side note: this is probably my favorite Vincent Price movie next to "Masque of the Red Death." Both are spoopy horror classics
I didn't realize that House of Wax was a remake of a remake. That would explain why it looks like they are dressed up like mechanics of Oil Can Henry's the wax is just Rain Dance.
About the corpse sitting up about 7 minutes in: that actually happens! My mom had that happen to her when she was taking a corpse to the morgue in the hospital she worked at. Worst bit was that they were in the elevator at the time. Scared her shitless!
I know of someone who works in a morgue, he hid in the fridge part of it, waited till the new guy came in and said "Cold in here isn't it?" and the new guy ended up legging it.
this is old AF, but the reason that the Cancan was considered super sexy was that women would wear what we would consider crotchless panties, as it was much easier to relieve themselves in if they could just squat, rather than deal with the volumess dresses of the era.
Vincent Price is the best and this one is one of my favorite films of him. He plays great likable characters and delightfully villainous characters. Vincent gets to play both in this movie and I love the way the movie has his character as a quirky eccentric guy and it kinda makes me sad and angry seeing him in pain when the museum burns.
An interesting and ironic fact that im surprised you failed to include. The films director, Andre De Toth, only had one eye due to losing it at an early age, thus making him incapable of experiencing the 3D effects in the film.
There was a brief resurgence of 3D films in the early-mid 80's and "House of Wax" was re-released then. I actually saw this in theaters at that time, and must say that it always stuck with me. Thanks for the flashback, Roses.
Vincent Price was amazing in everything he did. Even the cheesiest things he did, he always did them with passion and energy. It's not like other actors that it was clear that they only did certain movies for a paycheck (Christopher Lee in almost every Hammer movie he was in for example).
I'm thinking you don't know that women who danced the Can-Can usually didn't wear panties, so the 'talent' that is being shown off aren't the shoulders. Of course they couldn't show girls without underwear, so the comment is only for those that know and would sail over the heads of kids or people decades later.

This is one of my all time favourite films! My grandma introduced me to it when I was really little, totally freaked me out - but she wanted me to see more Vincent Price films after how much I loved him as The Inventor in Edward Sizzorhands- I grew to appreciate how excellent it is especially for being made in 1953!
Thank you! I saw this movie when i was around 4 years old. It played at night on the channel where Cartoon Network was in the 90 in europe. I had Lung and breathing problems back then and watching this at around midnight almost suffocating when falling asleep really left a mark in my memory. I was a little german boy and the movie was in english. I understood nothing but I kept watching. I now serched this movie for 26 years. Thank you
Thank you for reviewing this film. It is my favorite Price film and it is wonderful! The scariest part is when she pulls back the wig of the Joan of Arc figure and realizes that it's her own best friend! It never fails to give me a horrid shock!
I watched it in Blu-ray 3D with some friends, and surprisingly the 3D effects DO hold up well! We found ourselves amazed with their quality, taking into account the year this movie was released! The screenplay itself is very lacking; it has a very weird structure in wich the opening scene is the best part by far and feels as it should've been the climax of the film, and after that you never know who should be the POV character for the audience. Even when she is presented, we are already halfway through the movie and you don't know if you should get invested in her or if the writers are just going to kill her off unceremoniously like the previous "main" characters. I guess this kind of structure does work some years later with Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", but in that film they keep you guessing in a far better way; I guess that's because the mistery is more of an actual mistery, in contrast to "House of Wax", in wich is super obvious who the killer is from the get go! It should have been a revenge story; I feel the main antagonist should have been the man who sets up the fire in the beggining, but he is killed too quickly and we are stuck with some high-society folks who we don't care about. But as I said, the 3D and the practical effects work marvelously.
Few actors have ever came close to Price when it came to stage presence in my opinion, the man just oozed charm and charisma and really was a national treasure ( The fact that from all I have heard of the man and his wife being genuinely caring delightful people to be around makes me really wish I could have met them as well ). This was another great review, I have watched your videos for several years now and always find them informative and entertaining, thanks and please keep up the great work !
The 2005 remake of this may have been considered more of a "HOUSE OF WHACKS" but this video sure wasn't. Very nice work as usual, Roses. P.S. I can totally see LGR being a Vincent Price voice in videos like Michael Jackson's Thriller.
OMG. The Brave Little Toaster. I've not thought of that film in so long, it really disturbed me (in a good way) when I was young. I also remember those wax lips, so much nostalgia in here.
I get so happy when two of my favorite TH-camrs' voices appear in the same video. But, make no mistake, I'm here for PUR! :) Thank you for this wonderful retrospective on a fascinating film! :)
One of the best 3D effects in this film I've never seen in another 3D film. Igor (Charles Bronson) runs from the foreground to attack a guy. Not much in 2D, but in 3D it looked like Igor got up from the audience and ran onto the screen!
I doubt you're gonna see my comment but it's videos like these is why I've recently subscribed to your channel: detailed reviews of obscure and nearly forgotten television shows and films which, in this day and age, there's a lot of titles that are being overlooked because most people believe fiction wasn't created till 1977. Please keep up the awesome work here!
Bodies will sit up amongst other things as rigor mortise sets in. And yes people who work in the morgue do actually get used to it. Watching residents fresh out of med school pass out or almost wet themselves the first time it happens to them never gets old!
So, fun story, i lived with a older man near scotland a few years ago and he often said how when he was a choir boy they had a open top coffin on display, out of nowhere the body in it sat up like that scene in the mourgue Love your videos Roses!
I have to admit. Im in love with your sense of humor. Punny as hell, goofy, cheesy... its fantastic. This video is a great showcase of all of that, and its just a great watch.
I remember getting those wax lips while trick-or-treating. You're right: no one liked them. The fact that they continued to be made and sold is a mystery bordering on the paranormal.
Here from Svengoolie March 30, 2019. By the way, 1953's House of Wax was Warner Bros.' first 3-D movie, filmed by director André De Toth - who was blind in one eye and hence could not see the effect. Cheers!
This movie is great, I loved it when I first saw it! Though the 2005 one had great production values this one is better (the scene when the building gets torched early on in the film sticks out the most to me!) and I had no idea till now it started Price's horror part of his career. Great review Roses, I hope people check this film out too!
Huge flashback. I was searching for this movie. I´m from Germany an over here this movie was called "Das Kabinett des Professor Bondi". My first Vincent Price movie (beside some episodes form 1966 Batman series) and the one i became a fan. Thank you for the memory.
Hooray! Love this film; this and the original, plus “House on Haunted Hill” make a yearly rotation during the spooky months in our house! Glad I found your channels! Emphatically subscribed! Keep up the excellent work!
I've had the pleasure of seeing this in 3D a handful of times, and if you ever get the chance, you have to take it. That paddleball scene is sublime in 3D.
Love, love, LOVE this movie! This movie was my first introduction to the fabulous Vincent Price and I've loved him ever since. (If I ever have a boy he will be named after him!)
One of my favorite Vincent Price movies along with House on Haunted Hill. Recently found out that they released this in a proper 3D Blu-ray a while back. Since I have a 3D tv and player, I might have to pick it up since I've always been curious to see how the 3D looked. Great job with the video as always!
hey I just wanted to say thank you I have really bad depression and my mind is always racing but I recently found your pageand watch ing you videos has helped me a lot I am really glad to see how someome elese deals with it and I am glad to see someone that I look up to that deals with the same issues love you roses keep up the good work +
@6:41 2 LOL’s back to back, snorted my Dr Pepper (that crap hurts!). - “she just fell from the 2nd storey! -oh, she’s okay”+ “in a scene that looks like Phantom of the Opera pretending to be Jack the Ripper...”.
I did enjoy your review compendium of this truly marvelous film. You did a very good audit exploration of the scenes showed. The expletives used could easily be replaced since you seem to have an aptness for comical and funner words. Overall, your commentary is amusing. Thank you.
When I was 9 this was my favorite Vincent Price movie after The Raven (which I have a doll of). I didn't see the original (Mystery at the Wax Museum) until my boyfriend asked me about the 2nd movie on my House of Wax DVD waaaaay back in 2004 ("2nd what now?") Now I'm torn when asked to compare them. Mystery at the Wax Museum is pre-code, eerier, and has the fast talking journalist heroine. But - VINCENT PRICE and ridiculous can-can dancing! You cant make me choose!
This movie actually looks like something I'd watch and enjoy. Horror/thriller funsies with Vincent Price! Also, if you did more vids like this about Vincent Price movies, that would definitely be worth watching. :D
This is the first horror movie I can remember having an awareness of from my Mom describing how much it had scared her as a kid. The 3D effects in theaters made a big impression on her and gave her nightmares later.
I tend to watch The Mystery of the Wax Museum and House of Wax back-to-back since I have them together on DVD. I really love both films. My first encounter with Vincent Price was through his voice-acting work. After Edward Scissorhands, this was the first film that I'd actually seen him perform in, and I became an instant fan. Back when AMC played classic horror films for things like Fear Friday and FearFest, I always looked forward to the Vincent Price segments the most. House of Wax was almost always included in those segments.
This movie freaked me out as a little kid. It was shown around 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon...and it made it very hard to go to sleep that night. It was Price's face being broken revealing the scarred face that broke me.
I don't know if you've ever watched G.I.Joe, but there's an episode in the second season called "Glamour Girls" which features a face-transplanting machine that can rip a person's face right off. Its inventor, Madame Vail, will give it to Cobra if they help her get a new face off a pretty young woman. Of course, the girl she picks is the sister of a G.I.Joe (Low-Light), which gets them involved. The ending is actually quite suspenseful and Vail's fate quite horrific--especially since it's largely left to the viewer's imagination. There's also an inappropriately upbeat bit of music right at the end; your mention of the 'humor' at the end of this movie is what made me think of this show. Anyway, good work, as usual. 😊
Actually speaking on the scene where the body in the morgue sits up, that actually does happen my friend works as a person who does autopsies (I forget the position title) but she tells me that happens a lot because of the left over oxygen in the body and some nerves that are still working in the corpse, but yeah corpses can just randomly sit right up and they just push them back down
Admission: The candle is not sandalwood. It's gingersnap pumpkin pie. Also, I totally say SLAW off instead of SLUFF off. I didn't catch it so it's there forever now. Rats.

OOOOOHHHHHHH. Holy shit, I did not even realize that. Thanks for letting me know, that makes a few things make WAY more sense to me now.

They also make audible moans and sighs due to escaping gas.
I have no idea how morticians don't go insane.
My cousin is a funeral director, and she says you have to find humor just like any other job.

Jesus. And I thought my job was bad.

I know of someone who works in a morgue, he hid in the fridge part of it, waited till the new guy came in and said "Cold in here isn't it?" and the new guy ended up legging it.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the way old movie actors forgo naturalism and instead rely on pure charisma.
I absolutely believe Clint getting hot and bothered over sandalwood...
Sandalwoodgrain.
@@battra92 what have you done?!
Intro attempts to fail hard at being sexually alluring but totally nails it instead. Winning.
this is old AF, but the reason that the Cancan was considered super sexy was that women would wear what we would consider crotchless panties, as it was much easier to relieve themselves in if they could just squat, rather than deal with the volumess dresses of the era.

Vincent was low-key hot back then.
Very much yes.
OMG! I totally agree. Very handsome and oddly sexy.
Bruh, Vincent Price is the man I wish I could be.
You could just stare into his eyes while he's buttery smooth voice pleases your ears.
Bring back that moustache
OMG! That corset on Morticia at 6:00 looks impossibly painful!
I know, I thought that myself when I rewatched it. Youch.
who needs ribs!
Don't worry, actual victorian corsets weren't THAT tight.
She was a petite woman but...yikes. Scariest part of the film if you ask me.
@@Stormy2142 Or internal organs that aren't squished?
"Two Vincents for the price of one." LOL! I rather enjoyed his introductions to "Mystery!" Excellent review to one of my dad's favorite scary movies.
Clint's voice arouses me more than it should
Tom E. Gun I feel the same way about the voice of Brad Jones AKA The Cinema Snob lol.
@@justindenney-hall5875 Same here, what have I done with my life?
There was a brief resurgence of 3D films in the early-mid 80's and "House of Wax" was re-released then. I actually saw this in theaters at that time, and must say that it always stuck with me. Thanks for the flashback, Roses.
Yes! Hyped to see this. Also LGR!!!!
Clint's voice over work in this is quite possibly his best voice work ever. Certainly his funniest. That "ooooh" is both creepy as hell and hilarious.
Oh Clint.
Vincent Price was amazing in everything he did. Even the cheesiest things he did, he always did them with passion and energy. It's not like other actors that it was clear that they only did certain movies for a paycheck (Christopher Lee in almost every Hammer movie he was in for example).
Clint's whispered "WAAAAXXXXXX" killed me.
The"foul stench in the air" Vincent Price was talking about in Thriller was really the rotting corpses of the people Jared turned into wax sculptures.

Lol I'm sorry, that pun, _waxing nostalgic_
Somehow I thought someone would beat me too it. Well no use crying over spilled wax.
More old school horror movies plz!!
This was an awesome video and this movie is great. Cathy is the great Carolyn Jones and this cast is really good.
I wonder how the killer made the wax on his mask move so naturally?? I mean, didn't anyone notice anything odd about his face when next to him??
Vincent Price is amazing. I can watch anything he's in.

Every Halloween I watch Fall of the House of Usher with Price. One of my faves!
How did she breathe in that corset? :o that looks like serious tissue deformity going on under there.
I guesss it is custom made and she wore corsetts for a long time. It can't be too tight since she talks normally without gasps.
She was actually really skinny. Women back then were very skinny though. Also if it's custom made it won't hurt.
I love Vincent Price and enjoyed seeing your take on this classic!
Thanks again. Awesome exposition of a vince price gem.
I wish I could double thumbs up for Clint's Voice Over and the video.
Have you seen Vincent Price talk about rollercoasters (America Screams, it's on youtube)? It's the greatest
Oh, the costumes look nice! For a movie of that era, they really nailed the 1890s look!
I've had the pleasure of seeing this in 3D a handful of times, and if you ever get the chance, you have to take it. That paddleball scene is sublime in 3D.
I'm so glad you covered this one. It's my favorite version of House of Wax.

@6:41 2 LOL’s back to back, snorted my Dr Pepper (that crap hurts!). - “she just fell from the 2nd storey! -oh, she’s okay”+ “in a scene that looks like Phantom of the Opera pretending to be Jack the Ripper...”.
I did enjoy your review compendium of this truly marvelous film. You did a very good audit exploration of the scenes showed. The expletives used could easily be replaced since you seem to have an aptness for comical and funner words. Overall, your commentary is amusing. Thank you.
When I was 9 this was my favorite Vincent Price movie after The Raven (which I have a doll of). I didn't see the original (Mystery at the Wax Museum) until my boyfriend asked me about the 2nd movie on my House of Wax DVD waaaaay back in 2004 ("2nd what now?") Now I'm torn when asked to compare them. Mystery at the Wax Museum is pre-code, eerier, and has the fast talking journalist heroine. But - VINCENT PRICE and ridiculous can-can dancing! You cant make me choose!
'Accompanied by a molten lava cake' is now my new requirement for all film watching.
This movie actually looks like something I'd watch and enjoy. Horror/thriller funsies with Vincent Price! Also, if you did more vids like this about Vincent Price movies, that would definitely be worth watching. :D
This fantastic video is a regular rewatch for me-- sexy Clint/LGR in the intro is just waxing on the cake, as it were.
This is the first horror movie I can remember having an awareness of from my Mom describing how much it had scared her as a kid. The 3D effects in theaters made a big impression on her and gave her nightmares later.
I was lucky enough to be able to watch this movie in 3D in the 80's . It was the first 3D movie I ever watched and just loved it!
Fantastic Retrospective review!!! Love me some Vincent Price :-)
Found your account through your are you afraid of the dark videos and had to drop a follow. Your content is amazing!
Been waiting all day to watch this video, not disappointed
Got to see this classic just last Saturday as part of a horror all night marathon at a local cinema, and yes, it was in 3D and it was glorious!
I tend to watch The Mystery of the Wax Museum and House of Wax back-to-back since I have them together on DVD. I really love both films. My first encounter with Vincent Price was through his voice-acting work. After Edward Scissorhands, this was the first film that I'd actually seen him perform in, and I became an instant fan. Back when AMC played classic horror films for things like Fear Friday and FearFest, I always looked forward to the Vincent Price segments the most. House of Wax was almost always included in those segments.
Thanks lgr for that sensual additive

I don't know about that. My art is my baby. If someone torched it, murder is justifiable 🙂
This movie freaked me out as a little kid. It was shown around 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon...and it made it very hard to go to sleep that night. It was Price's face being broken revealing the scarred face that broke me.
I want to watch this movie now. I will see how I can get my hands on it. Really love Vincent´s voice. It is so captivating. Love it!
Great video! I'm so glad I watched this. Perfect movie to cover for Halloween. A lot of great facts.
I don't know if you've ever watched G.I.Joe, but there's an episode in the second season called "Glamour Girls" which features a face-transplanting machine that can rip a person's face right off. Its inventor, Madame Vail, will give it to Cobra if they help her get a new face off a pretty young woman. Of course, the girl she picks is the sister of a G.I.Joe (Low-Light), which gets them involved. The ending is actually quite suspenseful and Vail's fate quite horrific--especially since it's largely left to the viewer's imagination. There's also an inappropriately upbeat bit of music right at the end; your mention of the 'humor' at the end of this movie is what made me think of this show.
Anyway, good work, as usual.
😊
Great video! I've never seen this version but it looks awesome.
2:15 thank you for that lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the connection.
Actually speaking on the scene where the body in the morgue sits up, that actually does happen my friend works as a person who does autopsies (I forget the position title) but she tells me that happens a lot because of the left over oxygen in the body and some nerves that are still working in the corpse, but yeah corpses can just randomly sit right up and they just push them back down
I don't know why, but you highlighting early Bronson made me smile.
I watched a lot of 3D movies at home with my parents as a kid. We had a couple pairs of those blue/red 3D glasses lying around.
