House Of Wax Page #3

Synopsis: Six friends are on their way to a football game. They decide to camp out for the night and continue driving the next day. The next day the friends find that they're having car troubles, so two of the friends accept a stranger's ride into a small town named Ambrose. The main attraction in Ambrose is the House of Wax. Except something is not right in this town, the wax figures are so realistic and the whole town is deserted - except for two murderous twin brothers. The six friends must fight to survive and escape from being the next exhibits in the House of Wax.

Hey. you mind if l use

your restroom real fast?

Oh. uP at the house.

That one's out of order.

-Yeah.

Yeah. it was unlocked.

so. you know....

Everything seems to be unlocked

around you. now don't it?

Yeah. PeoPle used to come to see it

from miles away.

And Trudy was the main....

l guess ''artist'' is the aPProPriate word.

What about Vincent?

-l saw his name on a lot of the work.

-He was one of Trudy's boys.

-They still around?

-No. no. lt's a horrible story.

Trudy's husband. Doc Sinclair.

he was a doctor in the big city...

...until he got his license revoked

for doing surgeries on the side.

Stuff that. you know.

most doctors wouldn't dare do.

So he moved him and Trudy

out here to Ambrose...

...made a fresh start

with his medical Practice...

...and. you know. Trudy really found her

calling with that whole wax-sculPture thing.

lt was her dream to do something

really incredible here.
