Movie quotes from House of Wax (1953) starring Vincent Price, Phyllis Kirk, Carolyn Jones

Review

Vincent Price is well-known for playing the role of the sympathetic monster. And here, as a once-great artist named Jarrod, his hands ruined, confined to a wheelchair, he’s definitely sympathetic. And, literally with a tragic backstory.
