Alfred Hitchcock Presents: 4x27

The Waxwork

Mr. Marriner is an owner of a wax museum. He lets a reporter named Raymond Houston stay the night at his waxworks in order to right a story. At night, the reporter sees the wax figure of a murdering barber named Bourdette. The statue comes to life and tells the reporter to get ready for a shave. In the morning, the reporter’s body is discovered. He sits in a barber chair as if ready for a shave. His body is unmarked. Marriner concludes that he must had died of fear brought on my an overactive imagination.
