- GoofsAs Balsam's character says, "The museum can't be held responsible..." the "wax figure" on the right can be seen to swallow.
- Quotes
Narrator: [Closing Narration] The new exhibit became very popular at Marchand's, but of all the figures, none was ever regarded with more dread than that of Martin Lombard Senescu. It was something about the eyes, people said. It's the look that one often gets after taking a quick walk - through the Twilight Zone.

Featured review
Top notch episodes of the Twilight Zone ever on murderers row at wax museum!!
This episode easily enters in the top ten The Twilight Zone until now, an old-fashionable odd attraction at Wax Museum in decaying process of lowest budge for last years going to into an irreversible accounting loss due the meager costumers visiting this condemned business already in 1963 to failure, the Wax Museum highlight is certainly the murderers row that appearing the most infamous criminals all the time, the still unknown Jack the Ripper, the killer sailor with the axe, the brothers Burke and Hare and finally the Henry Desere Landru as the heartless throttler, these wax figures seem be alive somehow.
Then the Owner Ernest Ferguson (Will Kuluva) exposes to his best friend and employee for long thirty years Martin Lombard Senescu (Martin Landau) that no longer it is a profitable business and already decides shut down the museum to sell the building to be demolish to replace for a modern super-market at its place, over the sad news the obsessed Martin arguing that probable a new spot could change the profits, due such wax figures were made by a famous European guy, in face of the Ernest's refusal Martin begs to keep the five bleak figures of muderers row in your own house's basement with a expensive cooler to keep the wax in a stringent temperature aiming for the proper maintenance those old sinister wax characters.
His polite and forbearing Wife Emma (Margaret Field) at first sight agreed to keep those wax figures there, as time goes by reaches an expensive energy bill whereof they can't afford due Martin no longer has a job to keep the house, worst his former Boss didn't pay a penny to aid the expenses, the angry Emma goes talking with his brother Dave (William Mims) explaining the matter, Dave suggest her turns off the cooler system that will resulting a melting process of those grotesque figures breaking up the nightmare which the couple are undergoing, Emma follows his brother's advice and goes at basement to turn off the cooler, then comes the unpredictable and deadly outcome, Emma is stabbed by Jack The Ripper, upon learning what happened in basement Martin scolds Jack the Ripper for left Emma's blood in the blade, such mistake he could by caught, the morbid Martin burry his wife on the basement, however the best is about to coming in an unexpected twist, stunning episode!!
Thanks for reading.
