Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) – By Baron Craze

December 31, 2023
Film Reviews

This movie is more of a detective’s tale than a horror film especially by today’s standards. It does layer in plenty of atmosphere and a storytelling that audiences of the 1930s would find appealing and a bit bizarre.
