I have been to a wax museum as well when I was a kid. I thought the same thing. I remember it was right after I saw both The Mystery Of The Wax Museum and House Of Wax both films were playing back to back on AMC's Monster Fest back when Halloween Time was Halloween Time and TV stations still knew how to broadcast horror movies.
If you want to check out The Mystery Of The Wax Musem here is a link to the film can be watched on OK.RU. and on there it's in color.
All you need to do is copy the link put it in the search URL bar and it will take you right to it. Get some popcorn or order some pizza get some beer and whiskey and enjoy a good creepy and classy horror film.
There is also another movie that was inspired by these films that came out in 1973 called Terror In The Wax Museum which has a great cast and was produced by Bing Crosby Productions if you can believe that one. Stars: John Carradine, Elsa Lanchester, Patric Knowles, Ray Milland, Maurice Evans, Louis Hayward and Broderick Crawford.
Humans are humans and insects are insects. Life threatening pseudo-science leads to a weakened society, poor health, insanity and freakazoids who believe they are something that they are not.
Pseudo meaning fake and or counterfeited, in this case counterfeited realities leads to total destruction of humanity and the world. Accepting abnormality and making abnormality accessible through counterfeited science is pure evil within itself.
