Review of House of Wax (1953) by Michael Wilmington for Chicago Tribune — 21 Jan 1976
Characters are occasionally in physical danger (a young Charles Bronson, still billed as Charles Buchinsky, plays Jarrod’s mute muscle), but true horror derives from the juxtaposition of composed behavior and obscene acts.
No one delivered that combination better than Vincent Price.
