What Happened To House Of Wax?

Dark Castle Entertainment produced some interesting flicks back in the 2000s. From Ghost Ship to Gothika, they were hoping to bring back the fun of the old William Castle movies. But their biggest success came when they took on a Vincent Price classic and gave it their unique twist. From casting Paris Hilton to actual onset fires, you won't believe what happened to House of Wax.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: What Happened To This Horror Movie?

I dont care what anybody says. I think its such a fun rewatchable horror flick. And I think Hilton did a surprisingly good job in it.

I don’t care what anyone says, the “Face Peel Off” scene was brutal the first time we all saw it. Even the wax machine looked like something out of SAW. The museum set did a great job of making you feel helplessly trapped with these two maniacs.

Back when IMDb had forums, it gave an excerpt from an interview for a Fangoria article where it turns out that this film was indeed a Tourist Trap remake but they changed the name to something more recognizable hoping that the movie would be a hit since no one’s really heard of Tourist Trap (or at least it wasn’t mainstream enough), but it backfired on them.

Seriously an underrated horror movie. It has the cliches by still being new. And gore is limited but still queezy. Not really any jump scares but the sense of being trapped and no where to go horror makes this movie frightening

I like classic horror but I found the remake pretty good. The story was good, the kills were great, and the effects were was well. Paris Hilton in the movie didn't really put me off wanting to see it. Having Elisha Cuthbert being way hotter than Paris (IMO) kinda cancelled her out. In the end, it was a fun watch. However, as far as wax realated horror movies go, 'Waxwork" is my favorite.

Paris was treated very unfairly back then. But as stuck up as she seemed, she was clearly very self aware and able to laugh at herself. The night vision reference to her sex tape being a prime example.

It's funny I was just thinking about this movie earlier today and came up with a perfect prequel idea for it. Instead of having a prequel exploring beau and Vincent's early days of making human candles why not explore trudies past. They could have done a story where trudy was the original killer stalking the streets of ambrose abducting tourists who came to see her works and adding them to her growing collection. It could show how she was obsessed with taking over the town for her ultimately insane wax town idea and how she more or less made it her son's legacy. It would give the first movie better context and it would be a homage to the original material.

Paris Hilton gets such unwarranted hate for this movie. she was happy to poke fun at herself and in her chase scene she offered to do the scene barefoot and actually ended up with bloody feet. My uncle actually worked on the set and said she was very nice, he was on set the day she was too shy to scream and the whole set screamed with her to break her nerves and she was really thankful and professional according to him.

We need a petition to re-release this film under an original name. It’s a shame that such a great script ended up being totally overlooked because the higher ups felt like it’d be better for marketing just to slap on the name of an already existing property
