I know someone's out there.

Hey there, listeners.

Welcome to Horror Movie Club.

The show where two dudes who are not quite nerds but not quite nubes.

Choose a horror movie each week to rate and review.

I'm Brian, I'm on the phone with Ashfin, and today we are discussing House of Wax from 2005,

directed by Jean-May Coyette Serra, written by Chad Hayes and Carrie W. Hayes based on the

1932 short story, The Wax Works by Charles S.

Belden. Starring Alicia Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Jared Padalecki, Robert

Richard Richard and Paris Hilton. In this film, a group of college students on a road trip

encounter a creepy wax museum and a town where things are not as they seem.

If you're new to the show, we are going to discuss this,

spoiler-free for the first 15 or 20 minutes,

but after that, we're going to play some transition music

and get into spoiler mode,

where we walk through the plot in detail and review the film.

This was a request by a few people, Marnie, Sheila B, Tammy G, and Tala.

So thank you to all of you for requesting this.

I hadn't seen it and had always been curious.

Have you seen it, Ashvin?

I don't think I'd seen it before.

I always thought it was a direct remake of the old film, but it isn't, right? No, I mean, it's an adaptation of that
