Viewing Notes
Part of a double feature disc from Netflix, Chamber of Horrors was originally a pilot for a TV series called House of Wax that appears to have not made the cut.
Knowing that, however, does explain a lot about the film because it does feel serial in nature.
Featuring the Fear Flasher and Horror Horn to warn of impending (not so) gory scenes, it’s a bit of a novelty.
Patrick O’Neal does a standup job as the main antagonist, but ultimately this one is pretty tame and average.
It does feature a midget named Tun Tun, played by José René Ruiz who has more than just a bit part, which is kind of cool to see. He was the best part of the movie for me.
