Man, I had a blast revisiting this film

I had seen it when I was a little kid on VHS (in the halcyon days of 1992 or so) and I really enjoyed it then. So I took the time to revisit it, since it was film that made me love Price.

This movie is entertaining and moves along at a pretty good pace. Genuinely exciting few fight scenes, genuinely creepy moments with those darned wax figures...and the make-up on Price is damn good! I highly recommend this film.

Yes! It's a great horror movie and is responsible for launching Price's distinguished career as an icon of the genre.

Indeed.

It's a movie with some fine performances, genuinely creepy moments throughout, and an overall eerie atmosphere. And of course, it is so much fun.

I saw this in the movies as a little kid. To this day, I am terrified of wax museums.

One of a very small group of movies which, in addition to being a great movie in its own right, also has brilliant 3D.
