Automatonophobia In Popular Culture

This fear has been used numerous books, television programs and movies. Perhaps the most famous example is the original version of Vincent Price's House of Wax. Originally presented in 3-D effects for improvement, 1953 film focuses on a wax sculptor, turned to an insane serial killer. Disfigured in a fire, a sculptor wreaks revenge killing people and then turn them into looking at the wax museum. The film was renovated in 2005, a very different story.
