Synopsis | Henri and Marie are the owners of a wax museum where, after the show hours, Marie claims that the wax figures in the chamber of horrors tell her that they are being tortured and so she averts their eyes from their victims and lowers their weapons. This infuriates Henri who thinks his wife is losing her mind and damaging his most valuable property. Henri is a violent man and threatens his wife with death should she touch the statures again. When he awakes that evening, he goes to the exhibit floor where he finds Marie has altered the chamber of horrors to a scene more resembling a joyful party. True to his word, Henri strangles Marie. The wax figures begin to move and advance upon Henri. The next morning, when the public arrives to view the exhibit, they find that Henri has been made into a large candle for Marie's funeral display. |
