The True Terror of HOUSE OF WAX

Next week I will be talking about THE LIGHTHOUSE... it's going to be my most personal video in a long time. Keep leaving them requests below!

“Teenage 30 year olds” got me

I heard that the entity in “It Follows” was able to catch its victims so consistently because it was wearing Vessi footwear.

When the cemeteries of Paris overflowed and they moved the bodies to the catacombs underground, many, many tons of "corpse wax" were recovered from the bodies and given over to the local soap and candle makers. As it turns out, deadman's fat can be rendered into really high quality wax, due to human fat being oiler than typical sources like beef or pork.

Man it’s always just so sad to watch his friend try to peel him out of there and he can’t even scream, all he can do is move his eyes

It’s worth seeking out Paris Hilton’s thoughts and opinions of the film many years after she was in it. It’s kinda sad actually. She was so excited to be in a horror, doing something new, and be taken seriously. Then she saw how the film was marketed as basically ‘come watch Paris Hilton get horrifically murdered!” And she realised they had just used her as a gimmick because it was popular to hate on her. I think it was in a Netflix documentary about her that she spoke of it.

Me and my sister are twins and so many people have asked which of us is the evil one that we started saying we're both evil and actually triplets...we keep our other sister locked in a cage.

I actually really liked the remake, especially when I was younger. Idk, just something about the concept of being turned into a living wax model, unable to move or scream, trapped for eternity-- absolutely mortified me when I was a child. It was even more exemplified when the one guy tried to help his friend out of the wax, only to literally peel his skin off, showing how futile it was and that he could never go back to being "human" ever again. How horrifying is that? Idk, maybe I'm alone when it comes to this opinion, but I really don't think it deserved the level of hate it got. So much of the imagery in that movie was outstanding for the time.

chucky managed to chase humans in his doll sized body because he’s wearing vessi footwear

If I get murdered while wearing Vessi footwear I'm coming back to haunt you💀👏

So we all agree that we found this movie by mistake as children and were traumatized for a while.

to be fair, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" was certainly not considered "high-brow" at the time of its publication. The gothic genre has always been considered fairly low-brow, in fact.

Vincent Sinclair will forever be one of my favorite slashers. He’s just so fascinating to me... his kills are his art, his craft, his practice, but he’s been doing it for so long that he’s probably fell into some emotional disconnect with it. He makes his art perfect and flawless maybe because he’s desperate for perfection in himself. And he’s really hot

“Teenage 30 year olds” is a very good name for this approach to casting

Man just imagine if you were covered in wax while you were still alive Also that promotion at the beginning was very clever

Nothing messed me up more as a kid than seeing a man covered in hot wax while he was still alive… and then his friend literally ripping his face off😭

Honestly, one of the most disturbing scenes was when he poked his friend and he started crying because of the pain. I CAN'T. Truly awful.

This movie is the only horror movie that has ever "freaked me out" and it's only from one scene. The scene where Jared Padalecki's character gets his achilles tendon cut gave me nightmares and I'm still paranoid about that happening to me.

I remember stumbling across this movie as a kid and being entranced. It was by far one of the most terrifying concepts for a horror film that I had ever heard of as a child. The thought of being left to perish in a cast of wax is horrific. I still find this movie nostalgic and disturbingly intriguing.

The bits where he touches his friend's wax face and his eyes move and he tries to peel the wax off but the skin comes off with it - so deliciously horrific. It will stay with me forever.
