The movie chronicles a group of adolescents stranded in an isolated town and soon learns that the wax museum houses a clan of homicidal lunatics. Upon arriving in Ambrose, which is virtually a ghost town, Carly and Wade meet a man named Bo Sinclair who offers to sell them a fan belt and drive them back to their car after he finishes attending a funeral. While waiting, they visit "Trudy's House of Wax", a wax museum-like tourist trap which itself and everything in it is made out of wax and is the central feature of the town. They eventually follow Bo back to his house to get the fan belt; Carly waits in his truck while Wade goes inside to use the bathroom.

When Sue sees the figure of Joan of Arc, she is shocked by its likeness to Cathy, which, except for its dark hair, is exact, even to its pierced ears. After Wallace introduces Scott and Sue to Jarrod, the sculptor remarks that Sue resembles his favorite creation, Marie Antoinette, who was destroyed in the fire, and offers Scott, who is also a sculptor, work in the museum. Sue's concern about the wax Joan of Arc's likeness to Cathy prompts Scott to take her to visit Brennan, who promises to investigate further.
House of Wax (1953 film)
After the Cousin Skeeter actor played Hilton’s boyfriend in House of Wax, he saw success on the small screen, including Meet the Browns and arcs on The Vampire Diaries and Empire. Hilton was already a bonafide star when she was cast in House of Wax in 2005, thanks to her A-list socialite lifestyle and hit reality show The Simple Life. Murray had already worked with Padalecki on Gilmore Girls before reuniting on the big screen for House of Wax in 2005. Murray was also already two years into his starring role as Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill at the time, which is where he met — and briefly married — costar Sophia Bush. The police, having learned about everything from a guilt-ridden Averill, race to the museum as Scott returns and battles Igor, who attempts to decapitate the former using a guillotine featured in one of the displays. Arriving just in time to apprehend Igor and save Scott, the police break into Jarrod's workshop.
Just before her body is lowered into the cauldron, Brennan turns off the control switch and covers Sue with his jacket. Later, at the station, Scott and Sue thank Brennan for his help and Sue expresses an additional thanks for the use of his coat. House of Wax is a 1953 American period mystery-horror film directed by Andre de Toth and released by Warner Bros. A remake of the studio's own 1933 film, Mystery of the Wax Museum, it stars Vincent Price as a disfigured sculptor who repopulates his destroyed wax museum by murdering people and using their wax-coated corpses as displays.
As he can no longer sculpt, Jarrod has hired assistants, the deaf-mute Igor and talented sculptor Leon Averill, to help him recreate his wax figures, and using a new procedure he has devised, build another museum. Jarrod says that, as he can no longer create beauty, he plans to make a horror museum and expects that the museum will be profitable. After being shown Jarrod's basement laboratory, where plaster-of-paris figures are dipped in a vat of boiling wax, Wallace agrees to finance the museum.

Wade is attacked and knocked unconscious by Bo's twin brother, Vincent, who wears a wax mask to cover the facial disfigurement he has from where they were once conjoined. When Carly notices Bo's truck has a broken headlight and realizes he was the one who visited the campsite, she flees from the scene, chased by Bo who catches her and takes her down to the gas station cellar. 2005’s House of Wax starred Chad Michael Murray and Elisha Cuthbert as twins who get stranded near an abandoned wax museum during a camping trip with friends portrayed by Jared Padalecki, Paris Hilton, Robert Ri’Chard and Jon Abrahams. The teen characters quickly start to get stalked and killed off — and it all has something to do with the unsettling Trudy’s House of Wax. Padalecki’s House of Wax character has one of the most memorable — if not gruesome — death scenes in the horror film. In fact, 2005 was a huge year for the actor, who wrapped up his time as Dean Forrester on Gilmore Girls and began his most famous role as Sam Winchester on Supernatural, which ran until 2020.

With Jarrod presumed dead, Burke is able to get all of the insurance money for himself. A disfigured man in a cloak strangles him and stages the murder as an act of suicide, and a few weeks later the same man murders Burke's fiancée, Cathy Gray. Her unemployed roommate, Sue Allen, comes home and stumbles upon the murderer. After a brief chase with him, Sue makes it to safety at the home of her friend, Scott Andrews. On July 13, 2021 a collector's edition Blu-Ray of House of Wax was released (under license from Warner Bros.) by Scream Factory[12] in the US & Canada.
Paris Hilton played the role of Paige Edwards, Carly, and Nick’s best friend. Paige is the wild child of the group, always looking for a good time and never taking anything too seriously. She is also fiercely loyal to her friends and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Paris Hilton’s performance as Paige was praised for her ability to bring humor and fun to her character. The same night, Sue arrives at the museum after hours to meet with Scott, but Jarrod had sent him on an errand when he heard she was coming.
House of Wax revitalized the film career of Vincent Price, who had been playing secondary character parts and occasional sympathetic leads since the late 1930s. Supporting actress Carolyn Jones, who had her first credited role in House of Wax, gained a much higher profile more than a decade later when she played Morticia Addams in the TV comedy horror spoof The Addams Family. House of Wax is a 3-D horror delight that combines the atmospheric eerieness of the wax museum with the always chilling presence of Vincent Price.
Averill is then taken in by Shane for being in possession of a pocketwatch belonging to a missing deputy city attorney, though he states that he found it. The scene where 'Picerni, Paul' is rescued from the guillotine by Frank Lovejoy seconds before the blade came down was filmed in one take, using a real guillotine blade. De Toth threw him off the picture, but several days later, on orders from studio head Jack Warner, De Toth recalled him, and had the prop department modify the guillotine to make it less dangerous.
Jarrod, whose dependence on a wheelchair was feigned, sneaks up behind her and, after confirming her suspicion, chases her around the museum. When her struggling causes a plaster mask to break off from his disfigured face, she faints. Meanwhile, at the police station, after being plied with drinks, Leon confesses that Jarrod uses real corpses dipped in wax for his exhibits and that the body of the missing city official is on exhibit as Booth.
