Default Houses of Wax

The plural is intentional. Some of us have seen the latest version, if only to see Paris Hilton simulating sex.

Serious film buffs have probably seen the 1953 version starring Vincent Price--the frst 3-D feature film, BTW. I saw it in the theater as a pre-teen, and almost jumped out of my seat.

You may not know that that one was a remake of a 1933 version--Mysteries of the House of Wax (I think)--which was directed by (drum roll) Micheal Cortiz. The name should be familiar, being that he directed Casablanca. This one starts Lionel Atwood and Fay Wray (yeah, the girl in the original King Kong). This was shot in a primitive verison of technicolor, and looks pretty good on the DVD.

Both of the oldies are highly recommended.

Actually we don't need to do that since there's been a video floating about. :)

I watched the latest HOW not to see PH simulating sex but to see her being killed. It was worth it.

I'm not really into that sort of movies, but it wasn't really all that bad, the old ones are better though, I really don't see the point of remaking films like this.
