Moved from article[edit]

"The film is the first 3D color film in history, and its premiere just two days after Columbia Pictures's Man in the Dark, the first 3-D movie ever produced and released by a major studio, sparked a 3D film craze that would run through the sixties."

This is inaccurate, and should have a cite anyways. Any claims to firsts should have cites. Bwana Devil predates it by several months.

Impact[edit]

Many people have reported their memories of the film to be extra vivid, as compared to other films of the same period. One theory holds that scary 3-D movies are saved in a special "experiencial memory", that is, where you store actual experiences, as opposed to artificial film experience ^{[citation needed]}.

Short story vs. three-act play?[edit]

This article states that the movie is "based on Charles Belden's three-act play, The Wax Works." However, the article about "Mystery of the Wax Museum," the previous movie to which this one is a remake, states that it was "(b)ased on an unpublished short story entitled "The Wax Works" by Charles Spencer Belden." These statements appear to contradict each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.13.145 (talk) 10:21, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
