House of Wax (1953) [DVD]

Gifted sculptor Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price) is left for dead when his business partner burns down his wax museum for the insurance money. Years later Jarrod opens a new museum in New York, and its figures look uncannily lifelike, because they are victims of a string of murders. The film that made Vincent Price a horror icon, with an early appearance from Charles Bronson.
