This movie is sad on the bad side and the good side but the bad side 2 little boys Vincent and Bou, Vincent was born with a face of wax and Bou was a kid with tantrums he'd scratch his mom but he got smacked and had to sit in in a booster seat with straps and his dad had to but duck tape around the straps and on the good side that's sad is that mabey 8-13 people have to die but two live and I'm not saying anything else you have to watch the movie to see what happens next. Thx for reading, watch the movie:)

I really wish GooglePlay would make available 'The Mystery of the Wax Museum' which is the early, early original starring Lionel Attwil and Fay Wray. This Vincent Price "Remake" is a classic in its own right. Price is exceptionally outstanding in this movie. Definitely one of his very best horror showcases. But I much prefer the darker tone, art direction and casting of the original movie. Come on Google, you have 'Doctor X' available. Bring on the Mystery😲
