Stranded in a rainy manufacturing city and in need of money, a down-on-his-luck actor accepts a job at Mugivan’s Waxworks. But when dusk falls, the wax figures in the chamber of Curiosities and Horrors seem to take on a life of their own, and one in particular begins to exert a powerful influence over the hapless attendant.

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Mrs Raeburn’s Waxwork” by Lady Eleanor Smith (1931).
