Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

While driving through Louisiana on their way to an important college football game, six teenagers stop at a camp site. They have a confrontation with a trucker, and the next morning they suspect that their car has been tampered with. To avoid being stranded, they accept a ride into Ambrose: an isolated, nearby town.

Once there, they are drawn to Trudy's House of Wax, a museum with surprisingly life-like wax sculptures. They pair off to search for a car part, and soon discover that the rest of Ambrose is populated with murder victims coated in wax. The killer is also stalking the town; seeking to add the new arrivals to his collection.

Tagline: Prey. Slay. Display.
