Ok here goes

1) When someone continually tells you they know a wax statue is probably the body of their friend , check it out because it more than likely is , especially if there have been alot of robberies at the morgue.

2) when laying under a wax distributor you will probably go through stages of extreme calm to complete terror (sue allens facial expressions).

3)If you're supposed to be meeting a friend outside the museum (don't go IN the museum) especially if someone is fixated on you being their next marie antoinette.

4)When you start feeling slightly Ill at a wax museum after viewing some of the displays it's always a good idea to wait before continuing on.

5) ear piercings are noticable in newspaper photographs.

6)When being laced into a corset to the point of not being able to breathe is fine as long as you and your significant other are watching your figure.

7) If you passed out in the museum because of some of the displays and your still feeling slightly sick , don't watch the barker popping paddle balls into his mouth or you'll just faint again.

ok anyone else wanna add on (it's all in good fun :) )

Being horribly burned and disfigured in a fire makes you stronger. You're now able to easily beat up the same partner who easily beat you up before your accident. As a matter of fact, you can now run up staircases and easily beat up the policemen chasing you.

If you're going to hire an assistant to help you kill people, don't hire a drunk who'll spill the beans to the cops the minute he needs a drink.

If you're going to use real people as your wax figures, it's probably a good idea to get your victims from out of town- so their friends don't run into them at your museum.

11) When a woman tells you that something is born out of fear and intuition , it's usually a good idea to listen (womens intuition is usually pretty good).

12) When a wax sculptor starts telling you how real one of his statues was too him and how much he loved her , you might wanna keep your distance especially after that same scultor tells you , you look just like she did.

13) If a assistant tells you to go to the city library to find old photographs , you should probably do it just to double check and make sure that the figures actually look like the people in the pictures.

If you're all disfigured and gnarly and limpy and everything, and want to chase down and catch a beautiful woman- then don't just stand there and count to ten while she jumps out the window, crosses the roof and climbs down to street level.

If you're a police lieutenant who's about to run into a museum where a beautiful woman lies tied up and naked- don't bring a coat!

A person who is deaf and mute obviously can't speak or hear , but can apparently hear a doorbell ring.

When you're in a darkened museum and you hear a floorboard squeak while aimlessly wandering around , it's probably a good idea to head back towards the door and go back outside.

Wax is obviously pliable enough to be used as a disquise but will completely shatter when someone hits it.

More than likely, he saw the bell moving when it was ringing. In those days doorbells weren't electronic.

[–] mrsramthun 15 years ago

obviously wasn't that kind of doorbell. (appareantly this doorbell was electronic).

hahahahhha love that first line about the doorbell.
hahhaha didnt notice that before

When a disabled sculptor starts talking about needing the real you for his marie antoinette , you might want to think twice about going to visit him.

Just because dancers show off their "talents" doesn't mean they're not nice.

When entering a home after escaping from a deranged killer , shut the door after unless of course you want the killer to find out where you went , and are staying.

If you break parole after getting out of prison , don't just grow a beard and mustache to try and change your appearance , go for a full make-over just to be safe.

If you decide to burn down your establishment and your partner disagrees, don't bother making sure he dies in the fire. If he survives, he'll surely forgive you.

If you're being stalked by a disfigured killer, leave your bedroom window wide open when you go to sleep.

Being able to catch three ping-pong balls in your mouth at once is a sure-fire way to attract girls.

When bodies start disappearing from the morgue, don't bother beefing up security. There will always be plenty more customers where those came from.

When defending yourself against an opponent, do not throw a weapon at him. Throw it at the camera.

If you're not the marrying type , and your significant other mentions going to buffalo to get a marriage license you should probably do something other than call for your check.

If your friend/room mate is already home from a date when you come home from a job interview , you have to wonder what happened on that date.

A man will usually have his wife go first when they hear terrifying screams coming from an upstairs room.

When you're wearing your wax face, you can walk perfectly normally, but when you're not, you can't walk very well.

When dead people sit up, it's apparently normal.

Dead bodies that have been hung out of a window can be very stiff.

See ya in Happy Pony Candy Rainbow Land!

If you fake your death and it gets reported to the insurance company, you can just show up publicly in the same neighborhood 2 years later and nobody will wonder why you never set the record straight before, nor how convenient it is that you reappear on Earth at the moment your beneficiary wound up dead.

Prim, corset-wearing ladies wish they were belly dancers.

If you see a man who is wheelchair bound suddenly stand up and walk after you in a menacing fashion, don't act surprised.

When a business partner doesn't agree to burn down a premises, instantly start setting fire to it while the other guy watches.

While a bad guy is chasing you and you've dropped down from a ledge, spend a minute trying to open a gate low enough for you to climb over.

If you're a woman and a man rescues you when you're naked, afterwards don't act even vaguely embarassed or shocked and laugh it off.

If you want to become a yeoman on the Starship Enterprise, start your film career by can can dancing and showing your underwear, in a film in which a man in a top hat fits three ping pong balls in his mouth.

After running on cobble stones for several minutes and making a lot of noise, suddenly realise that taking your shoes off so you make less noise is a really good idea!

Have yourself chased through some of the most deserted streets Manhattan has ever had. I guess in 1902, no one could be found around 29th and Broadway after dark. (Or Warner Bros. didn't want to spring for any extras).

Yeah:

1. If your running down a dark street being chased by a loon and your trying to be quiet, dont bang on somebodies front door like a lunatic so that the guy who cant find you can hear you.

2. Never ever go into a wax works at night you divoid - scare the crap out of you, especially if you think the guy is a murderer

3. Always look up if your sitting at your desk and a huge black shape appears in front of you just before they turn the lights off (how you could not notice that Mr. Burke) Living up to your name there.

4. If you hear a scream in your house at night, dont make your wife go up the stairs first you cruel husband

5.If you have just been chased and you think somebody wants to kill you, dont sleep with the bloody windows open you daft cow! (Sue Ellen in bed)

6. Dont confuse the audience by having a limp whilst chasing girls through dark streets, then walk perfectly fine when you follow sue through the wax works.

7. Never ever leave the real blond hair on your victim when you cover them in wax you idiot Mr Jarrod.

8. Make sure your employees get id of all victims possessions so that gold watches cant be discovered by police.

9. Always agree with your business partner that making money is good, not just giving customers a history lesson.

10. Never ever scrape your nails against wood, even if terrified cos it looks bloody painful and if you survive, you'll probably die anyhow from splinters cos the date is 1900 and splinters could kill back them.

11. Oh yeah, never ever ever get a bloody job in a morgue. Corpses suddenly rising is enough to scare the crap out of you. If you werent dead when you took the bloody job, seeing a dead body jump, will surely make you the next customer.

hahahha

Make sure to pay your rent on time or you will get a glimpse of your roommate's killer who will eventually have some bdsm necro fun with you.

[–] kellymariekitty 8 years ago
