A ridiculously creepy wax museum in foggy old London town consists only of wax exhibits of notorious murderers. It is run by Dupree (John Carradine) who wants to sell out to American businessman Burns (Broderick Crawford). Dupree is soon found dead, apparently killed by Jack the Ripper! When Dupree's niece Margaret (Nicole Shelby) turns up, the strange happenings continue as she thinks the wax dummies come to life at night!
The murders continue too despite the efforts of the police in the form of Sergeant Hawks (Mark Edwards), probably because he seems more interested in taking down Margaret's particulars than anything else. Suspicion falls on the hunchback Karkov (Steven Marlo) though thats too obvious...
A superbly fun (and often cheesy) horror film with a real old skool feel to it (including some of the veteran actors on show including Elsa Lanchester and Ray Milland). A wax museum is always a perfect setting for a horror film, especially as the "dummies" move when they get close-ups!
