Sissy Fist Productions presents Nostalgia’s “Let’s Watch a Movie”—a campy collision of The Muppet ShowElvira’s Movie Macabre, and Mystery Science Theater 3000! Hostess extraordinaire, Nostalgia, invites you to her screening of the 2005 cult classic remake of House of Wax. Expect killer drag performances, scream-inducing live commentary, drinking games, prizes to help you stop being poor, and audience antics that’ll have you saying “that’s hot”! It’s a screening to s’live for! Cast: Nostalgia, Nancy NoGood, Emi Grate, The Illustrious Pearl

With a cast mostly made up of pretty TV actors and, of course, Paris Hilton, House of Wax is more of an entry in the teen slasher genre than a remake of the 1953 Vincent Price vehicle of the same name. The tropes are there: broken down car, middle of nowhere, couples splintering off, weirdo locals – but the inventiveness comes from the wax museum set up, and the creepy villains, providing plenty of fun scares and memorable set pieces. The directorial debut of Jaume Collet-Serra, who would later make the very good Orphan and the best of the Liam Neeson actioners, House of Wax is an amusement park ride worth taking.
