So, the scene with Maculay Culkin, it's supposed to represent the fact that being a child star, he fell into a really bad drug addiction as he grew up for years, but after that, he really sobered up and is now doing a lot better and even has a son with Brenda Song, the woman who played London Tipton on The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody.

[@freakishuproar1168]

This is exactly what I want from all wax museums. Everything just feels, well, _off._ The visible immersion-breaking joints in the mannequins arms, and the surprising number of hands facing the wrong way with their palms up in the air, the oddly incorrect hairstyles, etc. I'd wager my own parents that these models shudder to a grim parody of life at night in order to venerate their dark master.

[@Frankie2012channel]

LOL!!! :D To be fair to Charles Lindbergh, lots of folks did NOT KNOW how Bad Hitler was BEFORE WW2. He put on a good front to the world. He believed in Animal rights, he was an Environmentalist and he was a staunch anti communist. Only with the benefit of hindsight (and knowledge from people who were THERE in the Third Reich) what a madman he was. Remember that Franklin Delano Roosevelt refused to believe that the Holocaust was real in 1942 (even when 200 rabbis were protesting on the steps of the Capitol building). Only AFTER the war, when they documented the atrocities with filmmakers and eye witness accounts did even the most ardent skeptics admit that the Nazis were crazy/evil and monstrous.

Awesome video! I think they should animate the eyes on the occasional figure to move and look at you. The amount of resemblance to the actual people really varies from good to looking like they remade a character to a different character.

This is one of my favourite waxworx you go to and here are a few things I noticed. Madame Tussauds hand was the wrong way round. Colour purple means he was a Roman emperor. Lyndon Johnson waxwork looked a bit like Tom Hanks. Franklin Roosevelt had a TV remote control in the World War II section on his desk. I think the one with Macaulay Culkin is showing you the horrors of drug addiction & listening to Bob Marley.

[@TheDeadSkeletonShow]

[@jeffwaraksa2475]

Thank you! I was reading all the comments on how great these figures are, and I just don't see it. All of the figures are so rigid, the clothes don't fit correctly and the faces are not very realistic. Also, if you have to ask who some of these figures are, the wax sculptor has not done their job. Alot of the figures seem to share the same head, just dressed up differently. Not seeing what others see I guess.

I can recognize that Macaulay Culkin anywhere! That used to be on display at the Hollywood Wax Museum up until the late 2000's. They too used to have an excellent chamber of horrors, with lots of hidden nooks for scare actors to jump out at you. Then they had to go and auction off all their substandard figures to other museums around the country, and replace them with better crafted ones, when the Madame Tussaud's opened a block away. Now it's just an average forgettable wax museum.
