A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers in an abandoned small town. They discover that the brothers have expanded upon the area’s main attraction – the House of Wax – and created an entire town filled with the wax-coated corpses of unlucky visitors. Now the group must find a way out before they too become permanent exhibits in the House of Wax. Produced by Joel Silver.

April 18, 2005: Huge Wax gallery:
I gots to admit it - I've been kinda hard on HOUSE OF WAX. First off, back when I was writing for Kevin Smith at MoviePoopShoot, I reviewed the script and professed I wasn't very fond of it. And mainly, just based on the Dark Castle pedigree of crappy horror...

April 6, 2005: Paris sucks Wax'd pods:
My favorite part of this
press release that we received today was the line in which no-talent

February 23, 2004: Elisha dipped in Wax:
I love Elisha Cuthbert and wish nothing but the best for her. GIRL NEXT DOOR was a step in the right direction cause it was a funny and appealing teen comedy. But Elisha will star next in the Warner Bros. thriller HOUSE OF WAX and that's what has me worried....
February 3, 2004: The House of boos:
