Critics Consensus: House of Wax is a 3-D horror delight that combines the atmospheric eerieness of the wax museum with the always chilling presence of Vincent Price.

Sara Michelle Fetters

De Toth directs the heck out of House of Wax, and it’s one of the only 3-D offerings of the period that doesn’t rely entirely upon its visual gimmick to shock its audience.

If nothing else, it reinforces perceptions about the inferiority of remakes.

Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

Nell Dodson Russell

Filmed in Warnercolor and having the advantage of an actor of Vincent Price's calibre to head the cast, House of Wax will make suspenseful entertainment for most movie-goers. The figures in the wax museum become almost too realistic as seen in 3-D.

House of Wax is a film in horror history that, while experiencing varying success with each of its three inductions, can not be overlooked.

Price can't help but to be perfect as an evil mastermind, tossing about ominous stares and deceptively gentle chatter.
