House of Wax  
This first 3D color film produced by a major studio was an instant box office success and helped usher in the “golden era” of 3D. Vincent Price is in top form as Professor Harry Jarrod, a late 19th century wax sculptor spurned by his business partner when the latter sets their museum ablaze for the insurance payout. Full of delightful gimmicks and blood-chilling implications—Why are bodies missing from the morgue? How are Jarrod's newest figures so lifelike?—House of Wax retains the wonder audiences felt nearly seventy years ago at the film’s release. 
 
The Mad Magician  
The tremendous success of House of Wax led Vincent Price to return to the screen with another 3D chiller just one year later, which helped confirm the veteran actor’s status as a top horror star. House of Wax screenwriter Crane Wilbur penned this original tale of Don Gallico, a 19th century magician who plots revenge when his stage illusions are stolen from him. Director John Brahm unites the potential of 3D cinematography with the moody black-and-white visual style he brought to such thrillers as The Lodger (1944) and Hangover Square (1945).
