Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Anthony Hickox came from a film family— his father Douglas directed Vincent Price in the actual 1953 House of Wax, making this a twisted family reunion.
The Marquis de Sade exhibit was heavily cut for ratings, but Zach Galligan reportedly broke his hand punching the actual wax figure during filming and kept going.
