Continuity mistake: When Sally is disturbed by the resemblance of her friend, who was recently killed and then her body was stolen from the morgue, to the wax figure of Joan of Arc, she reaches up to touch the left side of the face, but when Vincent Price turns up, she is touching the right side of her face.
House of Wax (1953)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Andre De Toth
Starring: Vincent Price, Carolyn Jones, Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk
Genres: Horror
Revealing mistake: In the beginning where Vincent Price is brawling with his business partner, his partner throws a pipe or bar at him. Price ducks and the bar hits something that the camera was connected to, because the scene jerks.
Prof. Henry Jarrod: Once in his lifetime, every artist feels the hand of God, and creates something that comes alive.
Trivia: Even though the film was made in 3-D, director Andre de Toth could not see the effect as he was blind in one eye.
