HOUSE OF WAX (1953) Commentary Track

Flesh crawls! Wax melts! Beneath the mask, is he sculptor or slasher?! BOP rises from the ruins of its humble podcast studio to bring you a BOP n A Movie commentary for André De Toth’s 1953 technicolor classic, House of Wax! AKA “the House of Wax that has less gore but somehow more underwear.” Listen as the crew discuss the role that cemented Vincent Price as a horror star after years of just being a handsome bastard, the challenges De Toth faced shooting the world’s only 3-D movie by a man with one functioning eyeball, the film’s often-forgotten pedigree as a remake meant to take audiences away to a simpler time for horror, and the unforgiving visage of Charles Bronson forever cast in undying clay.Check out the mega documentary IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS 1995-99 by CreatorVC: https://90shorrordoc.com?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8Xdhttps://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

Join them for a surprise Bop n' A Movie commentary track for Spookley The Square Pumpkin, the harrowing tale of a malformed misfit trapped in a world he never made, spurned by his barnyard brethren until his indoctrination into a brutal Olympiad, his only ally a homunculus torn between loyalties to the opposing worlds of man and nature.

WAXWORK Commentary Track

What do wax museums, Twin Peaks, wolf-men, MTV, S&M sex, the Amiga 1000, and the the invisible man have in common, outside of captivating America? Anthony Hickox’s 1988 debut feature, Waxwork! In the newest edition of BOP n’ A Movie’s commentary series on the history of cinematic wax, the crew looks at an entry that may not be the brightest stick on the candelabra, but maybe the most fun. Starring Zach “from Gremlins” Galligan, David “that TGRI Guy” Warner, and Dana “I didn’t kill my girlfriend, Laura Palmer” Ashbrook, this gloriously cheesy Sci-Fi Network favorite uses the museum format to take its cast on a journey through time and space to rival Doctor Who… which is appropriate considering how Warner is dressed. But will Cody survive his latest wax drink? And will they just keep the recorder on while they watch Waxwork II: It’s About Time? Follow the tiny butler and step inside!Check out the mega documentary IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS 1995-99 by CreatorVC: https://90shorrordoc.com?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8Xdhttps://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp
