With the Halloween season in the air its hard not to get in the mood for a few horror flicks. Well, I suppose for me the statement would be that Halloween makes me seem less creepy when I watch them. Anywho, lately I've been in the mood for the classics. You know, the Universal Studios monster movie classics: Dracula, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, The Wolfman; Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, and Lon Chaney jr.

 All these names aside this link, http://www.cinemassacre.co..m/new/?p=2604 , reminded me of a name that held a bigger impact to me then anyone else (thanks to my Dad), Vincent Price. So I've decided to start my classics with "House of Wax" but I noticed that this movie will technically be a three-parter for me for "House of Wax" is a remake of the 1933 "Mystery of the Wax Museum" not to mention the 2005 remake "House of Wax".
 


 With that I had to decide how I was going to watch these movies and I had a hunch that our 2005 contender was probably not going to hold up to the classics very well and I wasn't quite keen on ending this adventure with a bad taste in my mouth so I decided to walk backwards with this. Going back in time I will start with the 2005 version then I'll move to 1953 to watch Vincent Price do what he does best and, finally, I'll arrive at 1933 and witness the movie that inspired two remakes.

 So join me on the next few notes I post as I decide (in my own opinion, of course) whether these movies should be preserved in wax so that future generations may see it for themselves or if they should be thrown in the furnace and melt away from existence!
