10 Rubbish Horror Films With Decent Soundtracks

Astute viewers will have noticed by now that this House Of Wax bears scant resemblance to the 1953 Vincent Price movie. That’s because it’s really an uncredited rip-off of David Schmoeller’s Tourist Trap (1979), where Chuck Connors’ strangely lifelike dummies baited another batch of disposable teens, including a pre-James Bond Tanya Roberts.

In fact, considering this not-really-a-remake was cranked out by Dark Castle, whose main competitor, Platinum Dunes, had just enjoyed success by remaking The Texas Chainsaw Massacre very badly, a more appropriate title might’ve been The Wannabe Chainsaw Massacre.

For everything that the movie does wrong – casting Paris Hilton for one – there’s a song on the album that makes up for it. Then again, the same production company gave the world Gothika, Thir13en Ghosts and Ghost Ship, so it was likely an accident.
