Mystery of the Wax Museum
"Mystery of the Wax Museum" is a 1933 horror film directed by Michael Curtiz starring Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, and Glenda Farrell.
The plot revolves around the owner of a wax museum, Ivan Igor (Lionel Atwill), who becomes disfigured in a fire and believes he must resort to grisly methods to restore his collection. He begins to use corpses as the basis for his wax figures. A reporter (Glenda Farrell) investigates a series of disappearances linked to the wax museum and unravels the mystery behind the gruesome creations.
"Mystery of the Wax Museum" is praised for its atmospheric visuals and imaginative sets, which contribute to the film's eerie tone. It was later remade in 1953 as "House of Wax," starring Vincent Price, and remains a significant entry in the horror genre of the early 1930s.
