Plot: the owner of a wax museum uses his exhibits to unleash evil into the world.
I remember loving this movie when I was a kid. Sadly, it doesn’t completely hold up as an adult. But it does have it’s fun points. I mean, it’s a really cool concept. It’s about a group of young people that go to a wax museum filled with classic horror displays – Dracula, the Wolfman, the Phantom of the Opera, etc. – and wind up getting sucked into some of them. There was nice innovation of course with a concept like that. And it was entertaining, just not as much as I remember.
DJ thought it was really good in parts, but really slow in others. If it had been a half hour television episode of the Twilight Zone or something, he would’ve liked it a lot more. There was also a lot of overacting and a lot of gimmicky things instead of straight comedy that he didn’t like. And he thought that the fight scene between the elderly people and the wax people was utterly ridiculous.
I recommend at least a viewing, but you could probably do without seeing it. It’s just sort of there in the annals of horror history.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
