    20 Worst Sci-Fi Wax Displays in the World

    Wax sculptures are a tradition going back centuries. A properly made wax figure can be eerily lifelike. But a bad one can be the stuff of nightmares. Here are some of the worst depicting science fiction movies and TV show throughout the world.

    First, we go to the German town of Leipzig, which hosted a Star Wars Expo, but apparently couldn’t afford accurate figures. But hey, no problem. They decided to make their own. And it turned out…interesting.

    Luke Skywalker if he had no elbows and knees
    R2D2 or a poorly decorated trash can
    Somehow, they managed to make Princess Leia’s

    metal bikini unattractive 

    Chewbacca’s head or Cousin It?
    A Tusken Raider that replaced his

    facemask with a gas mask

    Reenactment of that famous scene when a bunch

    of random characters stood around on Tattooine

    The Darth Maul isn’t too bad, but not sure who

    the one next to Amidala is supposed to be…and a crocodile?

    Either an Ewok or a hairball riding a dirt bike
     Okay, I’m pretty sure NASA astronauts weren’t in Star Wars

    And now, we journey to the Hollywood Wax Museum, which has been called the worst wax museum in the world. I’m pretty sure you’ll agree.

    They somehow managed to get three figures

    that look nothing like Spock, Kirk, and McCoy

    Let’s take a quick stop at Louis Tussauds House of Wax in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk…

    Okay, Yoda they got, but did Clint

    Eastwood play Luke Skywalker?

    “Riddle me this…why is my neck so freaking long?!”

    And now we move on to the Movieland Wax Museum, which was called the worst wax museum in America. It recently closed, but not before bestowing these nightmares.

    If the Terminator was busting through a wall…and Mexican
    The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are usually for

    kids, but this looks like a horror movie

    They actually managed to make the Joker

    look even creepier than the original

    Christopher Reeve apparently lost a lot of weight

    before casually flying through this wall

    I don’t recall the Xenomorph from

    Aliens having quite so much green

    And now for a few random more…

    Apparently, Anakin was not only annoying,

    but had a really small head (Source)

    Okay, you weren’t even trying with this one

    (Source: Old Town Wax Museum)

    Freddy Kreuger as Doctor Who…Oh, this is

    supposed to be Tom Baker (Madame Tussauds)

    Which one did you think was the worst? Have you ever been to a wax museum?

      Wax figures in general are creepy but those make them even more so.

    2. Alex J. Cavanaugh on September 13, 2014 2:25 am

      I've been to quite a few, including a couple in England, and none were that bad.

    3. DAVID WALSTON on September 13, 2014 4:59 am

      HA! They could have done better with paper mache!
      I went to Nashville to The Country Music Wax Museum as a kid, and got a picture with Dolly Parton. All I remember was smiling realy big. 🙂

    4. Tony Laplume on September 13, 2014 6:26 pm

      Can we agree that wax figures are a bad idea now?

    5. Wendi Morrell on September 13, 2014 8:22 pm

      And people paid good money to see those? Crikey!

    6. MsMariah on September 14, 2014 3:28 am

      I love this post. How did you find so many!

    7. Yolanda Renée on September 15, 2014 2:47 am

      I thought the joker was Beetlejuice! Very funny, creepy, but funny!

    8. jeremy [retro] on September 15, 2014 12:51 pm

    9. Clarissa Draper on September 15, 2014 1:32 pm

      OMG, some of those are so creepy. Chewbacca's head! Thank's for making me laugh this morning.
