I caught House of Wax 3D during the 1971 re-release in theaters. While I love both the original Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray Mystery of the Wax Museum and this Vincent Price remake, with both having excellent directors, Price just makes it all the more fun along with the 3D effects. That voice of his is so mellifluous while his character is at his most dangerous, it's all quite disarming and alarming at the same time. Charles Bronson's brutish handyman provides the best and most surprising 3D effect ever done too. Now this should be re-released again in theaters, for sure. What's really eye-popping in this pressbook are the theater lobby and poster displays to sell the 3D.
