House of Wax is a strange horror movie about a group of friends who land up stranded at a bizarre town where everyone appears to have been killed and replaced by clever and enduring wax figures! Various gory cliches and a metal soundtrack try their best to save this twisted conjoined twin tale, but soon it melts into yet another slasher genre flick.
Nick Jones: You're saying that that's a real person... underneath?
Trivia: The "wax" bed is made out of peanut butter, and melted wax for effects.
Question: What was the heinous metal contraption placed on Wade's head, prior to him being sprayed with hot wax, supposed to insinuate? The needle-like probes did not appear to puncture him. Was it simply for effect?

Answer: It is simply a contraption to keep Wade in place so he doesn't move and the wax can be applied. It's also used to keep the wax out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
