Year: 2005
Director: Jaume Collet-Serra
Plot: A bunch of college students are stranded in a small town where suffering for art takes on a whole new meaning in this tale of terror. Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki), have hit the road with a handful of their friends to attend a championship college football game; tagging along with them are Carly's bratty friend Paige (Paris Hilton, Carly's trouble-making twin brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray), and Blake (Robert Ri'chard), Paige's latest boy toy. While camping out for the night, the gang makes the mistake of getting on the wrong side of a mysterious local redneck, and the next morning they discover that Wade's car no longer works. As the others continue on to the big game, Carly and Wade make their way into the closest town, Ambrose, and discover it's all but deserted, except for a local tourist attraction, the House of Wax. However, it isn't long before they find out why the wax sculptures at the museum look so freakishly real, and discover a pair of murderous brothers are keen on making them part of the next exhibit. House of Wax is an in-name-only remake of the well-remembered 1953 3-D horror outing starring Vincent Price, which was in turn based on the 1933 picture Mystery of the Wax Museum. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: Some really good, and really awful, horror movies involve camping. Friday the 13th was already mentioned. I thought Campire Tales might have been good after seeing that James Marsden, Ron Livingston and Christine Taylor were it in, but alas, it wasn't. The updated House of Wax had its moments: Paris Hilton fit her part in the film perfectly and the creepy town that was constructed was exactly that, but overall it's nothing special. I'm not a fan of Cabin Fever but I will forever remember the disturbing little Kung Fu kid at the end of the film that ran around screaming "Pancakes!" and biting people. The Tripper also had some pretty hilarious moments and was an interesting idea, but was ultimately a let down. Courtney Cox as a PETA Hippie was a nice little cameo. Shrooms was probably worse then having a bad drug experience. I'm a huge fan of The Descent. I'm not however looking forward to the sequel. And the film that many Spout members have filled many a discussion posts over, The Blair Witch Project. I will rehash the tagline that was used during the promotion of the film: it did for the woods and camping what Jaws did for the ocean. I've watched it countless times and still get that anxious feeling of fear and dread each time.

Body: 5:54 - Here comes director James McTeague, Naomi Harris, and… “arch rival of Stephen Colbert….RAIN!” “Wow, it’s like mini-Twilight” someone says behind us when people start screaming for Rain. 5:51 - Now they’re on to Ninja Assassin, and when Joel Silver says the name “Rain” people go nuts. Although not quite the level of Twilight nuts that we witnessed earlier. Here’s a clip that Silver tells us is “Just for Comic-Con, so lets not talk about it to anyone else.” “Raised to be a warrior…Trained to be a killer.” Scenes of kids training, teenagers training, adults shedding tons of blood with knives. This movie is all done in red and black, even with red and black washing machines in a laundromat scene. Someone cue the Les Miserables soundtrack. Ninjas, swords, explosions, car chases… I don’t really know what this is about, but there’s a lot of screaming and flying blood. The ninja chucks a Chinese star at the screen, which turns into a little embellish between the words Ninja and Assassin in the logo. 5:50 - Now Silver is pimping out Whiteout, which we saw a lot of at last year’s Comic-Con. he basically tells us it stars Kate Beckinsale and Alex O’Loughlin from Moonlight, although “sadly, that’s over now.” They also have a movie called The Factory coming out, with John Cusack. “It’s a thriller, like Silence of the Lambs” according to Silver, and it’ll be out sometime in 2010. 5:46 - Writer Marc Andreyko and artist Jonathan Wayshak take the stage along with Erik Olsen again, to talk about the book, which hits stands in October. Will there be a movie version of Ferrymen? “That’s up to you guys!” says Erik. Based on the audience response, which is basically nil, I’d say that we won’t be seeing a Ferrymen movie anytime soon. 5:43 - Joel Silver is back to tell us about the Dark Castle comic book label that they’ve formed in conjunction with DC Comics’ Wildstorm imprint. They have their first book coming out called The Ferrymen, which they are about to show us a trailer for. “Sell your soul to the devil, and there will be Hell to pay.” is the tagline for the book, written by Marc Andreyko, who co-wrote the brilliantly creepy Torso with Brian Michael Bendis. 5:41 - Erik Olsen, Sophie Monk, Tad Hilgenbrick, and John Carchiette take the stage to talk about the film. Sophie Monk wants everyone to know “There’s some seriously twisted stuff in this movie that I wouldn’t want my dad to see.” No one asks any questions, ouch. Even though Sophie also tells us “I got so comfortable being covered in blood that I actually started going to the supermarket like that.” That’s method acting, folks. She also sings the creepy lullaby at the beginning of the trailer. 5:38 - Here’s a clip from The Hills Run Red, it opens with someone singing “Hush little baby, don’t say a word…” just so you know it’ll be creepy. Razor blades, buckets of blood, naked girls, a creepy guy in a mask. It’s Horror Formula 101. Coming to DVD in 2009. 5:35 - Joel Silver pops on out stage, all chubby, sweaty, and swarthy. He’s telling us how geek movies aren’t the “bastard stepchild” of the movies anymore. “Those pictures you just saw have made about a billion dollars. And we’ve decided to broaden out the label to do other types of movies.” Direct to video movies, that is: Return To House On Haunted Hill was last year, and this year is The Hills Run Red. 5:33 - They’re rolling out a clip reel to show us the “history of Dark Castle.” It’s a bunch of creepy movie scenes…there’s Thirteen Ghosts, Ghost Ship, Gothika, House of Wax, The Reaping…Creeptastic. A person sitting nearby says “Wow, they really make their company look a lot more exciting than it actually is. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Ahhh, poooor Paris...UGH. hee hee. I think I enjoyed seeing her in House of Wax just to see her get knocked off (sorry that was a little mean). Anyway, this is probably the MOST traumatic experience in her charmed life so I can see why she is so freaked. She probably thought the law would NEVER convict her. I am sure she thought she could get away with everything. She needs some tough love to say that when you screw up, you are going to HAVE to take the consequences. I am sure if it was any of us, we would probably be there for a year. I just hope it humbles her a little bit (like I think it did for Martha Stewart for a little while anyway...)

Body: My husband is watching this in the background as I check my email and I am getting sucked in even though I do not want to. This seems to be just curious enough to get my attention but not keep it for long. Hmmm kinda cool wax people. As an added note has anyone ever mentioned that Paris Hilton can not act!
