aka Crimes in the Wax Museum
How bad is it? Overacting and terrible effects abound.
Should you see it? Yes.
Cameron Mitchell chews the scenery as a man who seeks revenge upon a former employer (movie studio exec who stole his girlfriend) by injecting people with a serum that turns them into statues, which he then puts in his wax museum (shot on location at LA's Movieland). Part remake of Terror in the Wax Museum and of House of Wax, this has endless chuckles as Mitchell overacts among people who can't stand still as statues, who visibly breathe in close-up and who sometimes appear as heads poked through tables. Scott Brady, who's been in more than his share of bad films, has a role. The ending is senseless and undermines the rest of the film, though plot's not why anyone would watch this.
