Svengoolie S25E13 - House of wax (1953)

🐓🐓/5

PlotIn New York City during the early 1900s, talented sculptor Professor Henry Jarrod runs a wax museum that features figures of historical figures that met grisly demises. His business partner, Matthew Burke, is frustrated over Jarrod refusing to make more sensational exhibits, like those that draw crowds to their competitors, and wants to end their partnership. Wealthy art critic Sidney Wallace arrives to see the museum and indicates he is interested in buying Burke out when he gets back from Egypt in three months. Impatient, Burke sets the museum on fire to collect the insurance money. Jarrod attempts to stop Burke and save his life's work, but Burke douses him in kerosene and leaves him to die in the fire.
