In the year 1973, the movie Terror in the Wax Museum hit the theatres, unleashing a wave of horror and thrill among the audience. Directed by Georg Fenady, the movie starred some legendary actors such as Ray Milland, Elsa Lanchester, and Maurice Evans, portraying a nail-biting story of a murder mystery happening in a wax museum. The movie's plot revolves around Marie Morgan (played by LA born American actress, Lynda Day George), who inherited a wax museum after her father's demise. The museum was located in London, but Marie decides to reopen it in New York City, where she currently resides. Soon after the reopening, the museum's staff starts experiencing strange occurrences, and one of the exhibits goes missing. Marie also discovers that a mysterious key is missing from her father's desk that had the power to lock all the wax figures.

With the help of her friend, a detective named Jim Brandon (played by Ray Milland), Marie starts investigating the strange occurrences, and they discover that the missing exhibit is a wax figure of a notorious serial killer who was executed years ago. Soon enough, they deduce that the wax figure of the killer was alive and committing murders, and that none of the wax figures were safe around inanimate environments. It then becomes a race against time for Marie and Jim to catch the killer before more murders occur.

The movie's setting mostly takes place in the wax museum, and the director has done a fantastic job of creating a creepy and eerie atmosphere. The dimly lit museum with wax figures everywhere sends shivers down the spine, creating an uneasy feeling within the audiences. The overall setting is one of the most significant elements of the movie that adds to the horror element.

The cast's performances were commendable, and they did exceptionally well in portraying their characters. Lynda Day George's portrayal of Marie was convincing, and she did an excellent job at expressing the character's vulnerability when being stalked by the wax figure. Ray Milland's performance was noteworthy too, as he plays the quintessential detective with class and elegance. Elsa Lanchester, who played the role of one of the wax figures in the museum, also delivered an exceptional performance.

In addition, the movie's special effects were impressive, considering the lack of modern technology in the 70s. The wax figure of the serial killer was an eyecatcher, and the makeup that was used to create the figure was one of the highlights of the movie. It was undoubtedly realistic and sent chills down the spine of anyone who saw it!

Overall, Terror in the Wax Museum is a worth-while watch horror film that will definitely give you creeps. The movie's unique plot, eerie setting, convincing performances by the cast, and exceptional special effects all come together to create a thrilling and terrifying experience that will keep you engaged until the end.
