Episode Description from the Publisher

The Most Overhated Horror Remake of the 2000s?   In this episode of After the Last Rental, Zack pulls House of Wax off the shelf while Mike pours a glass of Maker’s Mark. From Paris Hilton’s infamous “See Paris Die” marketing to the sticky practical effects overshadowed by the glossy early-2000s cast, the guys revisit a remake that may deserve more credit than its reputation suggests. Along the way they talk doomed road trips, hillbilly horror, the death of the curated movie soundtrack, and why the town of Ambrose feels like a cursed roadside attraction somewhere between Tourist Trap and Clifton Hill. Will House of Wax stand the heat… or melt under the flame?   👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more classic movie reviews and pairings.     Check out the video store: @terrorracksvideo  subscribe to: Terror Racks YouTube     Subscribe to: Whiskey Morgue YouTube Follow: @whiskeymorgue Check out the merch: www.whiskeymorgue.com
