HOUSE OF WAX (2005) MOVIE FAQ written by: paranoidxe email: paranoidtsi@hotmail.com You might be asking yourself, how the hell can you make a FAQ for a movie that is cut black and white? Well some people just don't pick up the obvious right away, OR they try to analyze the movie WAYYY too much. Or some of you may just want to know more about the film. ***SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET SPOILED!!*** *IMPORTANT CAST* Elisha Cuthbert - Carly Jones Chad Michael Murray - Nick Jones Brian Van Holt - Bo/Vincent Paris Hilton - Paige Edwards Jared Padalecki - Wade Jon Abrahams - Dalton Chapman Robert Ri'chard - Blake Dragicia Debert - Trudy Sinclair Damon Herriman - Roadkill Driver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. WHY WAS THIS WAX HOUSE/TOWN NOT ON ANY MAP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was a old, apparently abandon, town...it was removed from maps when it was believed no one lived in that location anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE 3RD BROTHER AT THE END?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the end of the movie it is made aware that the twins had an additional brother. Which is the guy that was throwing out road kill from the back of his truck. It is believed that he was there to lure the victims in, While Bo and Vincent do the killing/waxing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3. SO WHO CUT WADE'S ALTERNATOR BELT?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Obviously one of the three brothers did it, the most likely canidate would probably be the brother who was delivering the road kill since his "job" would appear to be drawing people to the House of Wax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [4. WHY WAS WADE LOOKING THROUGH BO'S HOUSE?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beats me, curiousity I suppose. Even if he didn't explore the house a little bit Bo would have probably got him anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [5. SO WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF INJURIES/DEATHS?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The gore rate is off the charts in this movie and will make any sane person squeamish. Here are the extent of injuries/deaths in the movie: Carly - finger is cut off, lips superglued shut..resulting in rips on the mouth when she forcefully opens her mouth. Wade - Achille's Tendon Cut, stabbed by scissors in the chest, Waxed alive, flesh peeled off by Dalton Dalton - Head cut off from to knifes in the throat then Vincent pulls the body head comes off, body left submerged in wax on the wax chair Paige - Pipe thrown through head, then violently pulled out Nice - battle wounds, stabbed in the leg Bo - Shot twice, once in the chest with an arrow, and once in the arm, then later beaten to death by Carly with a metal bat Vincent - Stabbed by Carly at the end of the movie Blake - Stabbed in the throat, knife kicked in deeper kills him Other than that, there are the random people about the place that were killed previously by Vincent and Bo that were turned into Wax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [6. WHAT WAS WITH THE OLD LADY STARING OUT THE WINDOW?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was rigged so that it would appear that the old lady was alive, she isn't she was actually wax as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [7. WHAT WAS WITH VINCENT'S FACE?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vincent was a twin baby seperated at birth, the face damage is the result of the surgery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [8. WHICH TWIN WAS ABUSED AS A CHILD?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We briefly see the chair that Vincent was tortured in as a child when they first go through the house of wax. So Vincent was the child that was tortured for sure...the credits have "Young Bo", so I suppose we can assume that the "good" child was Bo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [9. WHAT WAS THE TWINS ULTIMATE GOAL WITH CREATING WAX FIGURES?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They wanted to complete their mother's wax projects, weither or not the mother was possibly in on making Wax from human bodies is unknown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [10. WHAT WAS WITH ALL THE PARKED CARS? WHY SO CLEAN?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These cars were obviously from other visitors that had become victim to the house of wax, they are probably clean because they cleaned them..You aren't going to really want to go to a town with a bunch of dirty lookin cars parked all over the place like a junk yard are ya? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [11. HOW THE HELL DID BLAKE AFFORD THE ESCALADE AT HIS AGE?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now thats just nitpicking the movie apart, even though he is a college student doesn't mean his parents couldn't have bought it for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [12. WHY WAS BO IN THE CHURCH WHEN CARLY AND WADE FIRST ARRIVED?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beleived to either be morning over the death of his mother or perhaps this was simply part of the setup and the 3rd brother somehow informed him that they were on their way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [13. WAS PAIGE PREGNANT OR NOT?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not really sure, we are lead to believe that she is since she suddenly made it a big issue to her boyfriend Blake..too bad they never had the discussion she wanted. Leaning more towards yes, than no. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [14. HOW IS PARIS HILTON'S ACTING?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Has no point to the plot, but I'll answer this anyway. Her acting is fine..in fact I don't see what the big deal about her is. She has maybe 15 minutes tops on the screen and she does NOT ruin the movie in any shape or form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [15. WHY DID THE MOTHER SAY "WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message was to Bo, to be more like Vincent. Vincent was considerably quite as a kid and Bo was the rebelous one. Vincent was innocent until his brother influenced him to do bad things, and it is believed that he did what his brother asked for family acceptance since he was deformed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [16. WHAT DRUG DID VINCENT PUT INTO WADE?] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wade is injected with some sort of drug before being waxed, It is believed to be some sort of paralysis drug so he can't move and mess up Vincent's waxing process. We also assume that Wade can fill pain because of the tears in his eyes revealed later in the movie.
