Halloween 'living Wax Museum' story

[HawkerPenn]

A group puts on a charity benefit: an adults-only, X-rated "Halloween House of Wax" living museum, where tableaux are produced with living people pretending to be wax figures of classic and original scenes of horror, just like the films "Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)" and "House of Wax (1953)". Horrifically, the tableaux become all too real, truly horrifying and threatening the participants and visitors on Halloween Night. Perhaps some are taken to the basement and fatally made into real wax figures, being covered in boiling wax. (Or, maybe something more original) See lovers in distress! Who will die horribly? Will anyone survive? Will souls be taken? It's all up to you, the writer.

Could be interesting. Especially if it’s a celebrity wax museum and one of the subjects gets trapped inside, pursued by her doppelgänger… ok, now I have to push this aside before I get really stupid ideas.

An interesting possibility from your point of view is that the horror tableaux would generally be of historical incidents or horror cliches. These things have often been portrayed by celebrity actors. If a tableau became 'real' the amateur portraying a participant in a tableau could appear to change into the celebrity known for the film or stage role, or a celebrity of your choice.

Yes. Imagine Trump, Biden or the President of your choice stepping into the Hall of Presidents and finding all the previous occupants of his office advancing on him with angry insults about how he was doing the job. Wait, wrong forum.

Um, imagine Sydney Sweeney confronted by her wax copy. Only it’s attracted to her and she does not share that attraction or appreciate it or… Lit has rules against that kind of stuff. The author is encouraged to create fictional celebrities for the museum so the rules here are not violated and victimization of real people is not supported. Also make sure there’s not a crazed fan sorcerer or scientist behind the museum’s displays coming to life. That plot has already been done by bad movies and tv shows many times.

Beware the fine lines of writing Erotic Horror stories. Good luck.

Seriously? You got two Sydneys Sweeneys and you want make them be violet toward each other?

If a deranged perfectionist fan who wants to make his Sydney more to his liking and have it replace the real Sydney is involved… yes, he has a problem. Let’s have the Sydneys team up to deal with this idiot potter who’s complaining about the independence of his clay.
