On this episode we cover the 2005 horror remake House of Wax. Made in the height of the remake era, this one leans in hard to the tropes of the decade, complete with nu metal, torture porn vibes, and Paris Hilton. We’ll see where this lands in the decade of horror, and also talk the original films that led up to it, including Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) and House of Wax (1953). Light a candle, and prey, slay, display.
Other topics include the very 2000s cast and how Elisha Cuthbert was the Sydney Sweeney of the time, where the 2000s stands overall as a horror decade, other horror remakes, 70s slashers, new physical media and cutting off streaming sites, Troma Films, and the nu metal reappraisal.
