Slay. Display. Studio: Warner Bros. Website: House of Wax Release: May 6, 2005 PLOT A road trip to the biggest college football championship of the year takes a turn for the worse for Carly (ELISHA CUTHBERT), Paige (PARIS HILTON) and their friends when they decide to camp out for the night before heading to the game. A confrontation with a mysterious trucker at the camp site leaves everyone unsettled, and Carly has her hands full trying to keep the peace between her boyfriend Wade (JARED PADALECKI) and her hot-headed brother Nick (CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY). They wake up the next morning to find that their car has been deliberately tampered with. At the risk of being stranded, they accept a local's invitation for a ride into Ambrose, the only town for miles. Once there, they are drawn to Ambrose's main attraction—Trudy’s House of Wax, which is filled with remarkably life-like wax sculptures. But as they soon discover, there is a shocking reason the exhibits look so real. As the friends uncover the town's dark secrets, they are stalked by a demented killer and find themselves in a bloody battle for survival. The group must find a way out of Ambrose — or become permanent additions to the HOUSE OF WAX. Click HERE for a larger picture of the movie's poster.

TRAILER IMPRESSIONS I've never seen the original House of Wax, but this trailer is effective enough to have grabbed my attention. I'm all for more horror movies that don't rely heavily on supernatural aspects. Plus, there's something inherently creepy about wax figures, so I'll keep an eye on this.
