Spanning over a century of cinema and comprised of 127 films, this book analyzes the cinematic incarnations of the "uncanniest place on earth"--wax museums. Nothing is as it seems at a wax museum. It is a place of wonder, horror and mystery. Will the figures come to life at night, or are they very much dead with corpses hidden beneath their waxen shells? Is the genius hand that molded them secretly scarred by a terrible tragedy, longing for revenge? Or is it a sinner's sanctum, harboring criminals with countless places to hide in plain sight? This chronological analysis includes essential behind the scenes information in addition to authoritative research comparing the creation of "real" wax figures to the "reel" ones seen onscreen. Publicly accessible or hidden away in a maniac's lair, wax museums have provided the perfect settings for films of all genres to thrillingly play out on the big screen since the dawn of cinema.

The Depression-era vogue for horror and the supernatural produced some of Hollywoood's most memorable chillers, among them "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (Paramount), "Frankenstein," (Universal), and "King Kong" (RKO). At Warner Brothers, the main entry was "Mystery of the Wax Museum," directed by Michael Curtiz, a grand thriller of 1933 in which Fay Wray (Who would appear opposite Kong later that same year) was threatened with waxy immortality by the maniacal Lionel Atwill.

It was 1863 in a town called Cactus Jack and Dr. Henry Corbin who was the town’s doctor had grown tired of practicing medicine and was interested in opening his wax museum. Money was no object so he called on some of the best carpenters in town to begin the process. The wax museum was completed within a year and the only thing missing was the wax figures. Henry sat at his desk in his wax museum almost in tears. He said, to himself, "What am I going to do? I have no wax figures to put in my wax museum. I'll be out of business even before I open the doors." Henry got up from his desk pacing back and forth trying to figure out how he was going to get some wax figures in his museum fast. Then he realized he had a friend who had some mannequins in the back of his store and knew he wouldn't mind if he used them in his wax museum. Henry bolted out of the wax museum got on his horse, and rode off to his friend’s shop that was in the next town. Henry's heart was racing as his horse galloped through the desert. Henry checked his pocket watch and said, "This horse sure is a fast one, I made it here quicker than I thought I would." Henry tied his horse to a hitching post stepped down off his horse, and went inside his friend’s store. Henry walked up to his friend Jack and said, "Hi! Jack, how is business?" "Business couldn't be better. What brings you here?" asked Jack. "Well, I've just opened a wax museum, and I need some wax figures to place inside my wax museum. I was wondering if you would let me use the mannequins in the back of the store for my displays," explained Henry. "Sure, anything to help out a good friend of mine," replied Jack. Henry and Jack gathered the mannequins together wrapped blankets around them, and placed them in a small wagon to take back to his wax museum. Henry rode back to his wax museum and dipped the mannequins in wax. Then he dressed them up as important figures of history, but on opening day the townspeople came in to check out Henry's wax museum only to make him a laughingstock of the town. A good friend of Henry's said, "Henry, were you drunk when you dressed these wax figures and started laughing as did many people standing and gazing upon Henry's disastrous wax works. The townspeople exited Henry's wax museum as quickly as they entered. Henry was sweating profusely and sought revenge for being laughed at by people he admired. All Henry thought about was making these townspeople pay for making him look like a fool. Henry said to himself, “They will all be sorry for laughing at me.”

Chronology of Classic Horror Films: the 1930s is an affectionate, thoughtful, and sometimes provocative re-examination of virtually every American horror feature from 1929 to 1939. Donald Willis takes the films, image-by-image, in the introduction, film-by-film, in the text, and year-by-year, in the highlights pages, which precede the reviews of each year's pictures. The introductory Itinerary ("Oh, the places you'll go!") chronologically "maps" the sites of the movies covered in the text, from 1929 to 1949, from Woodford's Theatre, New York City (The Last Warning), to the Forsythe estate (Master Minds). Willis makes the movies you've always known and loved spring to life again. The Mummy "It's either Now (Helen) or Forever (Imhotep), though her 'dreadful modern Cairo' comment hints at some backward-looking wistfulness on her part." Bride of Frankenstein "The power now belongs to Pretorius, in effect a mocking mirror reflecting back to Henry his original enthusiasm, and underlining the strain of callousness in the latter."
