Horror/Thriller     Not Rated

In London, sculptor Ivan Igor struggles in vain to prevent his partner Worth from burning his wax museum...and his 'children.' Years later, Igor starts a new museum in New York, but his maimed hands confine him to directing lesser artists. People begin disappearing (including a corpse from the morgue); Igor takes a sinister interest in Charlotte Duncan, fiancée of his assistant Ralph, but arouses the suspicions of Charlotte's roommate, wisecracking reporter Florence.

Stars legends Lionel Atwill, Frank McHugh, and Fay Wray, all very good in there role, but Glenda Farrell steals the show.

It had a very good premise, and very well acted, but it dragged a bit at times, like many movies of the era do, because it relies so heavy on dialogue and atmosphere scenes. Still make for a good movie, well written and entertaining characters, especially the one played by Glenda Farrell. Overall a very typical movie from the time, with good story telling, good acting, and impressive special effects, but light on action, to break things up. Was remade in 1953 as the superior "House of Wax" starring Vincent Price, and again remade as "House of Wax" in 2005, which was also superior to its predecessor.
