Mystery of the Wax Museum
The supreme thriller!
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Produced by The Vitaphone Corporation, Warner Bros. Pictures
A pre-code horror mystery that uses a wax museum as a macabre setting for suspense and grotesque revelation, blending Gothic atmosphere with procedural investigation.
A wax sculptor opens a new museum years after he is severely injured during a fire that destroyed his original collection. The disappearance of both people and corpses coincides with this grand reopening and leads a reporter to start investigating.
