As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

Trailer Unavailable













     The Mystery of the Wax Museum
1932  NR  HORROR  1h 17min
CAST— Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Glenda Farrell, Allen Vincent, Frank McHugh, Arthur Edmund Carewe
MUSIC— Cliff Hess  DIRECTOR— Michael Curtiz  BASED ON— The Wax Works (story), by Charles Belden

     A deformed madman, obsessed with perfection, picks up a nifty and novel hobby: he uses the cadavers of the recently deceased, coats them in wax, and displays them for all the world to see at a trendy new gallery. When an investigative reporter sinks her teeth into the story of the missing stiffs she inevitably winds up at the wax museum, causing all manner of trouble to those in the know of the gallery’s dirty deeds. Not the greatest chiller of the era, but not bad.
OUR RATING— **
REMADE AS— House of Wax (1953/2005)
