House of Wax has gone down in the books as a classic, but now, finally, it can be appreciated in the form it was always meant to be seen in. There is no need to ever watch it in 2D again.

House of Wax is pretty much a comfort movie of mine as well! I think it's delightfully horrific and bonkers funny in the silliest way. The kills are brutal, and the weird romantic tension between the siblings is unbearably funny to me. Reply reply. strangeriddler.

(Photo by © Warner Brothers) Of course, the most memorable moment in House of Wax belongs to then ubiquitous socialite Paris Hilton, who – after a satisfying chase scene – is impaled by a metal pole thrown at her like a javelin. Warner Brothers’ marketing had gone out with the slogan “See Paris Die!”and Collett-Sera made sure to fulfill the promise...
(Photo by © Warner Brothers) And not just because of the Paris factor. Like the town of Ambrose itself, House of Wax is a time capsule, and watching it today is strangely comforting – especially if you’re longing for the simpler days of playing Snake 2 on your NOKIA. The movie came out just before technology evolved to a level where a plot like thi...
