There they encounter Stan, who gives them a tour of the figures. In " Headhunters," Soos stumbles upon the door to the storage room and shows it to Dipper and Mabel. Trapped and forgotten, the figures began to crave revenge. However, when the tourists lost interest in them and stopped coming, Stan put the figures into storage, eventually forgetting about them and leaving them there for ten years. For a time, the figures were a star attraction at the Mystery Shack at night, the figures enjoyed a "charmed life", drinking, talking and even playing practical jokes on a sleeping Stan.
HOUSE OF WAX CAST FULL
Not wanting to pay the full price of twenty dollars, and despite the owner's warnings about the collection, he decided to steal them and open his own wax museum. Paris Hilton actually “won” her award for Worst Supporting Actress.Many years before the events of Gravity Falls, Stan Pines came across the wax figures at a cursed yard sale. The film was not very well received, and was even nominated for Worst Picture at the Razzies, but “lost” to Dirty Love. Robert Zemeckis (director of the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and Cast Away) served as a producer.ġ5. This was actually the 2 nd remake of this story, as the 1953 Vincent Price classic itself was a remake of 1933’s Mystery of the Wax Museum.ġ4. It was reportedly supposed to be much gorier, but was toned down to avoid an “NC-17” rating.ġ3. Apparently many audience members cheered in theaters when saw Paris Hilton’s death scene. Grossed $70 million on a $40 million budget, so while not being a flop, it also didn’t make as much as the studio had hoped.ġ2. The studio went so far as to sue David Fletcher (Special Effects Coordinator) for $7 million, alleging that gross negligence on his part caused the fire.ġ1. During production, a fire broke out and burned down an entire studio (thankfully no one was badly injured). Many consider The Conjuring to be one of the best horror movies of the last decade!ġ0. Screenwriters Chad and Carey Hayes would go on to write The Conjuring and its sequel, which were reviewed much higher than House of Wax. This was director Jaume Collet-Serra’s feature film debut, and he would go on to direct Orphan and The Shallows.ĩ. Paris Hilton claims that she ran up and down a flight of stairs before filming her chase scene so that she would be out of breath.Ĩ. Aside from the character name (as well as the title of the film), there’s not much in common with the 1953 classic.ħ. The character Vincent (who’s revealed to be one of the killers) was named after the Vincent Price. Because of Elisha Cuthbert being so much shorter than Jared Padelecki, they had to attach blocks of wood to her shoes to make her taller and closer to his eye line.Ħ. The movie’s marketing went so far as to allow Paris Hilton to sell T-shirts with the slogan “See Paris Die May 6”! Who wants one?!ĥ. Jared Padalecki would go on to star in Supernatural, and there was a 2009 episode “Fallen Idols”, which was based around a wax museum, and even guest starred Paris Hilton!Ĥ.
Rather than being a last minute add on, Paris Hilton was actually cast first, and the rest of the cast was picked around who she worked well with.ģ. It’s a lesser known slasher, but it’s one of Stephen King’s favorite horror movies.Ģ.
HOUSE OF WAX CAST MOVIE
Despite being a remake of the Vincent Price classic, House of Wax, this movie actually has a lot more in common with the 1979 slasher classic Tourist Trap.
So on its 15 th anniversary, we thought it would be fun to take a look at 15 fun facts about this possibly misunderstood horror movie!ġ. However, as time has gone on, some feel that this movie was unjustly hated, and that there is more to it that critics gave it credit for. Remaking a Vincent Price classic into a slasher starring Paris Hilton seemed like a strange idea, and the final result wasn’t exactly well-received. In the realm of horror remakes, few were as looked down upon as 2005’s House of Wax.
