You can then see our planet from space from a space station, and you can also go on an excursion into the vastness of the universe one hall further. Or you just say hello to the icon of the fight for better protection of our climate, Greta Thunberg. The fact that the new wax figure museum is devoted to more current topics is shown in the "The Depth of the Sea" room, which is committed to the preservation of this unique habitat, and the "Climate Crisis" room, in which you can deal with the consequences of climate change.
Here you have the opportunity to see the castellers, the human towers, in life size with their exhausting tower construction: The castell extends over several human floors. The stairwell, which was dedicated to Catalonia and its culture, is more humane. If you continue to follow the tour through the museum, you will be shocked by the famous film character King Kong in the Jungle and Kong halls.
So is the name of this room: cops and thieves. The former vault of the old bank of Barcelona and at the time the best guarded room is now the target of thieves from all over the world. Here you can experience the personalities of the history of Barcelona up close and in time lapse. The first room after the lobby is the Barcelona Hall. Have your camera ready, photography is expressly encouraged. You begin the tour through the world of wax figures in the magnificent hall on the ground floor. You will see personalities from Spanish-Catalan and European history, internationally known greats such as Barak Obama, Lionel Messi, Albert Einstein, Brad Pitt, Greta Thunberg, Jack Nicholson, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Stephen Hawking and many more.įamous film personalities are also given a broad space: Capain Jack Sparrow from "The Curse of the Caribbean", the various protagonists from "Star Wars" and Arthur Fleck from "Joker". The DVD does not come with a 3-D Process, but it does come with coverage of HOUSE OF WAX's Hollywood Premier.Each of the 28 halls of the Barcelona Wax Figure Museum has its own focus. HOUSE OF WAX is a lot of fun, and was a big hit at the time. Hold still.' and he proceeds to repeatingly whack the ball at the camera. He faces the camera (meaning us) and says `You! With the popcorn. A carnival barker, (played with crowd-pleasing energy by Reggie Rymal) constantly whacks a paddle-ball outside the wax museum, while heralding the museum's opening night thrills. (Warner Brothers improved the process a year later with the 3-D release of Hitchcock's DIAL M FOR MURDER, and yet another period horror film, PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE.) The most amusing 3-D moment in HOUSE OF WAX has almost nothing to do with the story. This new gimmick, meant to lure television viewers back to the box office was novel, but it had it's kinks.
HOUSE OF WAX's most famous element is that it was made in 3-D. It's easy to find in a bit part, young Charles Bronson (billed here as Charles Buchinsky) as one of Jerrod's s interns. Phyllis Kirk fills Fay Wray's part here, and man, is she even more boring! But don't worry, you have plenty of Vincent to make this DVD worthwhile. In the original film version, made in 1933, Fay Wray plays a beautiful, but uninteresting damsel in distress. One of his intern sculptors dates a model, Sue (Phyllis Kirk) who is hounded by a mysterious man with a distorted face. 12 years later, Jerrod opens a new museum. Here Vincent Price plays Henry Jerrod, a wax sculptor whose first try at a wax museum meets the same infernal end as Atwill's museum in the first film. Crane Wilbur's screenplay has well researched details (regarding how wax sculpting works, the effects of chemical burns for example) improves on the 1933 original. He's best when describing gruesome details (like torture or murder) with a slight grin, as if he's building to a punchline. HOUSE OF WAX established Vincent Price as a horror film icon.
