You cannot go wrong with 1953's "House Of Wax," darlings--a wonderfully atmospheric Technicolor display of period detail and costumes, with Carolyn Jones, above seeming to go for the Oscar gold, as Joan Of Arc, a moment both horrific and campy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though 1933's "The Mystery Of The Wax Museum" is by far the better film, this is one of the better remakes of a film I have seen. Vincent Price hams it up, the wax figures are gorgeous, Phyllis Kirk radiates girl power as the persistent heroine, and the wax finale is amazing.
Dolls, if you have seen it, enjoy it again. For those who haven't, well what are you waiting for? Here is your chance. See you, tonight, at 8PM.
Now--
This being the Halloween season, "Svengoolie" is showing a second feature, hosted by Nostalgiafeatu and Company.

I've all month long been enjoying the Halloween classics. And I just caught on TCM Lair of the White Worm, finally. Been wanting to see that one.
Mistress Maddie, I have always wanted to see that movie, myself. Doesn't it have something to do with Bram Stoker's "Dracula.?" Enjoy your marathon with a nice glass of mulled apple cider!
