Can't Hold a Candle to It

This is one of the better episodes. It brings back a Robert Bloch script. It would seem wherever this particular wax museum shows up, people die. They die in the way that the characters of murderers killed their victims. Of course, the police aren't having any of this. Soon members of their precinct are dying violent deaths. There is a beautiful young French woman in the middle of it all. Are these things coming to life or is there another explanation? The sets are dark and mysterious. As is the case with just about every effort like this, the bad guys have the upper hand from the get go. A nicely crafted Thriller. Oscar Homolka is quite riveting as he always was.
