This HOUSE OF WAX rip-off is so unsure of its frightfulness that it has inserted William Castle-style fear flashes and horror horns, which clue the audience in on the supreme fright points. Originally intended for TV, this gory thriller follows maniac O'Neal as he terrorizes late
19th-century Baltimore with a weapon-fitted wooden stump for a hand. On his trail are two curators of a local wax museum and their Mexican midget sidekick, Tun Tun. Tony Curtis can be spotted in a brief guest role.
