Line 2:
=== The 1953 film: ===
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Most people don't know about ''Mystery of the Wax Museum'', though it didn't help that it was thought to be lost until a print turned up in the late 1960s, and it was not fully restored until the 1980s. (It's a bonus feature on the 1953 film's DVD.)
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Jarrod's description of his new career now sounds like [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]], in light of the turn Vincent Price's career soon took.
{{quote| '''Jarrod:''' I'm going to give the people what they want: sensation, horror, shock... Send them out in the streets to tell their friends how wonderful it is to be scared to death.}}
* [[It Was His Sled]]
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: The director, Andre de Toth, was ''[[Deaf Composer|blind in one eye]]'' and openly wore an eyepatch. Apparently the studio higher-ups didn't think depth perception was a requirement for making a 3D movie.
Line 12:
* [[Nausea Fuel]]: Pretty much the entirety of the film.
* [[Squick]]: One guy has a... peeling problem.
* [[WTHWhat the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: Paris Hilton? Really? To be totally honest though, Paris Hilton's character was the ''smart one'' in this movie. She didn't do a lot of the stupid things people normally do in a horror/slasher flick.
