House of Wax

The Hollywood Theatre is proud to present the weekend engagement House of Price – two nights of Vincent Price classics in 35mm with Price’s own daughter, the author and public speaker Victoria Price, in attendance! On Friday, March 1 at 7 PM, witness 1959’s bone-chilling William Castle spectacle HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL in 35mm; then, on Saturday, March 2 at 7 PM, see if you can survive 1953’s HOUSE OF WAX in 35mm! Both screenings will be followed by a Q & A and signing with Victoria Price, who will speak to her father’s life and work and their time together.

In 1953’s HOUSE OF WAX, Professor Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price) is a successful wax sculptor at an early-1900s wax museum until his business partner torches the museum to cash in on an insurance policy. After surviving the fire, Henry reopens the House of Wax with the help of Igor (Charles Bronson) just as corpses begin to mysteriously vanish from the morgue, and art student Sue Allen (Phyllis Kirk) comes upon a wax Joan of Arc that looks suspiciously like a deceased friend…

Hollywood member presale begins Monday, February 11 at 12pm; ticketing opens to the general public on Wednesday, February 13 at 12pm. Member guest passes will not be accepted.
