Comment
A max museum is burnt down when the partner of the sculptor wants to claim the insurance. Several years later he (Lionel Atwill) emerges in New York with a new wax museum, but a reporter (Fay Wray) gets suspicious as she links the models to the deaths of several people. Lionel Atwill is good as the creepy wax sculpture and Fay Wray is good as the fast talking reporter with comic one liners. This is a good piece of horror from the 1930's that moves with a good pace.
