What begins as a weekend getaway for six friends becomes a terrifying fight for their lives in HOUSE OF WAX, a re-imagining of the 1953 horror classic from Dark Castle Entertainment and producers Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis.
A road trip to the college football championship takes a turn for the worse for Carly (ELISHA CUTHBERT – “Run, Kim, run!!”), Paige (PARIS HILTON – bring on the blonde sluts!) and their friends when they decide to camp out for the night on th eway to the game. A confrontation with a mysterious trucker at the camp site leaves everyone unsettled, and Carly has her hands full trying to keep the peace between her boyfriend Wade (JARED PADALECKI) and her hot-headed brother Nick (CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY).
They wake up the next morning to find that their car has been tampered with – EEK!. They accept a local’s invitation for a ride into Ambrose, the only town for miles. Once there, they are drawn to Ambrose’s main attraction—Trudy’s House of Wax, which is filled with remarkably life-like wax sculptures.
But as they soon discover, there is a shocking reason the exhibits look so real! The group must find a way out of Ambrose, or become permanent additions to the HOUSE OF WAX!
