Already Scary #4 - Wax Museums
May 29th, 2008 by sunrisepink
Wax museums are some freaky shit. My first and only memory of visiting one of these scary hellholes was at the young and innocent age of 8. My parents thought it would be educational to take me to a wax museum with historically-themed displays. Everything was going great until we came to the one depicting the Europeans’ battle with the Native Americans in the 1600s. It was literally a life-sized diorama of a Native American scalping someone! You think I’m kidding, but it’s true. It might have been the single most terrifying moment of my childhood, and I never visited a wax museum again. 
My fear of wax museums was renewed upon seeing the 2005 film House of Wax. This movie confirmed my theory that wax figures come to life at night and go on killing sprees, because if it’s in the movies, then it must be true. The only thing scarier in the film than seeing wax figures come to life was seeing Paris Hilton attempting to act…*shudder*. But I digress.
Going to wax museums is meant to be a light-hearted weekend activity, but having a bunch of creepy statues leer at you while you wander down a dimly-lit hallway is not my idea of a good time. Especially when those figures are evil, and are plotting your murder after the security guard leaves for the evening…or at least I assume. It’s better to be safe than sorry. In any case, wax museums are just not something you want to fool around with.
