I admired how much work went into the sets, never mind the wax figures such as monsignor Monroe. They tried to up their game at the end by introducing Halloween and Aliens walk through exhibits where you're attacked by things. The best story ( IMHO ) will be the one where Vincent Price traded places with his wax figure for the day. "He looks so lifelike..." "Yes, so do YOU!"Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-58371411033370019372020-10-05T15:09:44.641-07:002020-10-05T15:09:44.641-07:00I still have yet to visit a wax museum, but I real...I still have yet to visit a wax museum, but I really want to. I'm sad I never got the chance to go to Movieland before it closed.<br /><br />It's so funny you shared this today and that the previous commenter mentioned House of Wax, because I just watched it the other day and it's making a small appearance in my blog post scheduled for Wednesday!Janeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179447682223205557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-47026711591748238142020-10-05T14:57:00.095-07:002020-10-05T14:57:00.095-07:00I always thought this Marilyn looked really off. P...I always thought this Marilyn looked really off. Put your finger over her mouth and also narrow the face along the sides and it starts to look more like her. I seem to remember she was close to the end of the displays and it was a downer way to go out of there. I used to like Vincent Price in House of Wax because it had a pool of what looked like real bubbling wax below the lady. It added motion to the otherwise still life. I never went there after the mid 60s so I never saw the newer statues. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.com
