HOUSE OF WAX (1953) Movie Poster Magnet: A Chilling Miniature

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic artwork from the 1953 film, House of Wax. It captures the essence of 1950s horror cinema advertising, instantly evoking the suspense and thrills of the movie.

The Menace of Vincent Price

At the heart of the design is a striking depiction of Vincent Price, the film's star. His menacing presence is a central element, reflecting the film's focus on his character's dark deeds. The artwork likely portrays him in a way that suggests both sophistication and underlying evil, immediately drawing the viewer into a world of suspense.

Wax Figures: Lifelike and Creepy

Key to the poster's horror is the representation of wax figures. Their inclusion symbolizes the macabre nature of the film's premise. The artists responsible for the original poster artwork likely gave special attention to making the wax figures look simultaneously lifelike and disturbingly artificial, amplifying the uncanny and unsettling atmosphere of the film.

Drama and Shadow: A Horror Atmosphere

The use of dramatic, shadowy backgrounds is crucial to the design's effectiveness. These elements heighten the sense of dread and mystery, hinting at the peril awaiting the characters. The strategic use of shadows underscores the film's dark narrative and the lurking dangers within.

Bold Typography: A Call to See the Future

The poster's bold lettering, often using bright red or yellow, is designed to immediately grab attention. The placement of the title “HOUSE OF WAX” would have been deliberately emphasized. The inclusion of text, such as "See it in 3-D!" is key to highlighting the novelty of the film's technology. This element serves as an invitation to experience cinema in a whole new dimension, making it a pivotal piece of movie advertising history.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
