Waxworks

Waxworks Movie Poster

A wax museum owner employs a poet (William Dieterle) to create stories for his pieces.

The poet dutifully pens disturbing tales, envisioning himself as a significant character in each story -- a baker sentenced to death by the Caliph of Baghdad (Emil Jannings), a Russian prince contending with the deadly paranoia of Ivan the Terrible (Conrad Veidt) and a man who is pursued through the haunting streets of London by Jack the Ripper (Werner Krauss).

Director: Paul Leni, Leo Birinsky
