World's Scariest Wax Museum - Laclede's Landing Wax Museum - St. Louis

hey you all carpetbagger here coming to you live from the gateway to the west st louis missouri more specifically than that we are in front of the clades landing wax museum this is a is a kind of a hidden gem maybe not as well known wax museum as some of the others out there but this this is one of my favorite one of my favorite wax museums of all time it has a certain vibe that i feel is not captured in any other wax museum and also in addition to that they have a chamber of horrors that probably the largest change of chamber of horrors in any wax museum their chamber wars takes up several multi-level basement and it probably isn't probably equal in size to the rest of the wax museum so this is a very intense experience i'm very excited to go back here one of my favorite places to stop here in st louis so please follow me [Music] see the st louis arch there just a few blocks down from this little wax museum shrek there e.t don't know who this soccer player is if you know who that is let me know and here's the ultimate showdown right here mike tyson versus bruce lee kobe bryant hanging out with his best friend captain jack sparrow we have some of batman's friends and

museum great you're walking up these stairs here in this old building and just for no reason there's this horrifying clown just standing here on the ladder oh i thought he was moving and here we start in the sports section we have our names down here so we know who these individuals are this is hank aaron i know uh he had passed away not too long ago this is jackie robinson i believe he's one of the first african-americans to play see i do know some things about sports and here's babe ruth back when back when professional athletes could uh look like look like guys like me they don't have a

sharing a case here we have not only mahatma gandhi and martin luther king jr both proponents of peaceful protest some parts of this museum aren't necessarily supposed to be spooky but they are anyway so that's christopher columbus but i guess christopher columbus is kind of a spooky guy anyways there's charles lindbergh i don't like that he was a nazi sympathizer but uh i felt bad that someone murdered his baby there you can see the barren surface of the moon and there we have neil armstrong who has removed his helmet so he can fully experience the moon and gazes lovingly at his home planet earth this is liz taylor as she portrays cleopatra now we have richard burton who possibly dressed as caesar there's just a couple a couple of popes hanging out with each other which popes are these

made from the war [Music] and then i'm not sure who this is actually um so if you again if i miss call something or you recognize something just let me know in the comments and then there's franklin

team up we have spock along with the men in black and morpheus from the matrix all right heading down this stairway here back down to the second floor so apparently there's three floors of wax figures and then two basements of horror okay so i think this is the religious section these look like bible figures but i can't really figure out what figures they are this is a little dark in here let me put a flashlight there so we can kind of see who that is still not entirely sure not entirely sure who this figure is looks like maybe some sort of leper as he does have skin lesions it's almost completely dark in this room oh there's a little lion right there that's daniel and the lions down i guess but look at how dark it is without the light okay and there we have jesus see jesus holding baby there look at that camel behind jesus [Music] there we have jesus plying his carpenter trade i don't know i don't know who these figures are you know uh these bible figures again leave a comment

uh this man here and this woman are the same person i think he had like a comedy show and this was gonna be a character that he dressed up as [Music] is that bogart that's louis armstrong right okay now we are heading into the the basement the horror chamber honestly the first time i came here i was so scared i had i'm not used to haunted houses and i tried to try to sneak out the door there and the woman running the counter stopped me and convinced me to go back in so yeah this is scarier than some haunted houses there's no actors but there are some animatronics look at that guy oh this guy here looks like he's been tarred and feathered oh yeah look at this and this figures come so close to you oh see you never know when something's gonna turn on or jump at you and yeah you have to like walk right past these figures look at that see frankenstein over there is this monster you see anticipation you never know what's gonna what's gonna go off and what's what's not so yeah we got frankenstein there there's like like creatures up in the rafters looking down on us oh my gosh [Music] oh this torture chamber with a guy's head off look at that woman bent over backwards so creepy

myself can find a little action [Music] what have we got here all right so we got uh hannibal lecter a zombie some guy with an eyeball for a head and nothing else see that hear the heavy breathing noise that's terrifying look at that thing oh my gosh oh something's gonna happen oh my gosh a bloody skeleton this is so freaking so freaking messed up it's like so claustrophobic in here with all these monster figures oh my gosh oh oh it got me who's that guy that's random looking [Music] all right she said everything that jumps out is behind cages so none of these things are going to jump at me that's going to jump at me i know it i know it i know it or not maybe not it's a funeral for a zombie there's a doctor it is so claustrophobic in here it is like this is so scary i'm by myself it's

downstairs is that a man with no face oh my gosh you know i went through this like before i knew anything about haunted houses and it scared the daylights out of me oh my gosh oh look at that i think that's supposed to be anton levay but he actually has horns like he was actually satan uh oh my gosh if you look back there or someone who does belong in the in the chamber of horrors there's adolf hitler back there truly scary stuff oh i think we're headed through a freezer there's chicken and fish and frozen corpses [Applause] oh my gosh [Applause] watch out there's a pit bull a komodo dragon and a giant snake head right there oh is that the hunchback the hunchback of doterra dave and the wicked witch [Music] now this is the most confusing scene here now again we are in the chamber of

someone explain this to me please [Music] again we're in the chamber of wars creeping through just hoping nothing jumps at me oh my goodness [Music] oh one-eyed woman with a baby a goblin man [Applause] what's happening i got reasonable [Applause] [Music] got some random clown heads i guess this is the the official clown section of uh of the museum okay i think i think we're putting some pieces together that there is clearly oh is that harry or marv that's one of the wet bandits right there he's covered in paint that must there must have been a home alone scene at one point that they took down is that joe pesci's character maybe yeah i think that is the wet bandits for sure [Music] oh gosh trying to work my way through what is that guy doing biting the head of a teddy bear see here's just a guy a guy in a suit i mean this is genuinely scary but it's also just plain confusing is that dracula there [Music] oh wolf man [Music] oh leather face lurking why is it so dark again is stuff going to turn on or is it just super dark and creepy what happened was true [Applause] the most bizarre and brutal series of crimes in america i think they're just playing audio from the movie

chamber these look uh these look like older more classic uh torture chamber figures this is henry the eighth i think this they had a different henry viii upstairs looks like someone has cut this woman's head off i think that's what he did right henry viii would uh cut off women's heads so that is the hunchback of notre dame right there or notre dame however you pronounce it oh i think that might be the ever elusive jack the ripper [Music] just goes on and on oh this is that phantom of the opera there [Music] [Applause] oh all right i think we've come full circle i'm gonna head back back upstairs got a waitress there who's this guy here i don't recognize that character but there's barney officer waxy yeah it's a wax policeman and uh nosferatu so the cleaves landing wax museum here in
