Since the early 1800's, people have been attracted to museums featuring dead-eyed wax figures of famous people. While wax figures are a bit creepy on their own, wax museums that let their collections fall into disrepair are even creepier. Though once one of the most successful wax museums in the world, the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, CA fell into disrepair in its final years.
The Poseidon Adventure was frightening enough but being thrust into the center of the action while dead-eyed actors stare at you was more than just a bit creepy.
And the nightmarish PT-109 setup was enough to clear any frightening memories of the Zapruder film; this was truly the most frightening thing ever tied to the Kennedy name. This "glamour" shot of the set doesn't reflect the nightmare this setup became in its later years.
And finally, the Wizard of Oz figures were apparently based on the lost scene where Dorothy goes postal and decides to start her murder spree.
"And you, Mr. Scarecrow- I'll enjoy killing you most of all!"
