- **Event Name**: House of Wax in 3D!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Released during the first "Golden Age" for 3-D movies in the 1950s, André de Toth's House of Wax is considered by many to be the best horror film ever to use the format.

House of Wax launched Vincent Price as the premier horror meister with his performance as Professor Jarrod, an eccentric sculptor who opens a wax museum to showcase the likenesses of famous historical figures. When with his partner Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts) decides he wants out of the business, he burns the museum down — with Jarrod in it — intent on collecting the insurance money. It is one of the most spectacular and chilling scenes of the film with life-like wax figures consumed by a roaring inferno.

Horribly disfigured from the fire and hell-bent on rebuilding his collection, Professor Jarrod takes an extreme approach: he goes on a killing spree, encasing his victims in wax to create disturbingly life-like figures for display. 

Director André de Toth went all out to show the amazing visual effects that stereoscopic 3-D could achieve, seemingly adding scenes for that explicit purpose. (For example, check out the high-kicking can-can dancers!) Creepy and titillating, with cauldrons of hot wax, melting figures and a totally over the top Vincent Price, this cult horror classic in fabulous 3-D is not to be missed.

Seating is limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment. Each guest will receive a pair of 3-D glasses upon arrival!
