House Of Wax (1953 Film)
''House of Wax'' is a 1953 American period mystery-horror film directed by Andre DeToth. A remake by Warner Bros. of their 1933 film ''Mystery of the Wax Museum'', it stars Vincent Price as a disfigured sculptor who repopulates his destroyed wax museum by murdering people and using their wax-coated remains as displays. The film premiered in New York on April 10, 1953, and had a general release on April 25, making it the first 3D film with stereophonic sound to be presented in a regular theater and the first color 3D feature film from a major American studio (Columbia Pictures' ''Man in the Dark'', the first major-studio black-and-white 3D feature, premiered two days before ''House of Wax'').
