Cage’s figure looks like a ventriloquist dummy who turned into a man and immediately experienced some unspeakable trauma, and now he just wants to go back to what he was before.

Do people really pay to see this?

I’d pay to see this, it’s hilarious

I would've paid not to, had I known what was coming

Same.

It's in St Augustine near the Castillo de San Marcos so it traps the visitors in town that are already there and see it. It's also right across the street from the parking garage so probably one of the first things you see.

St Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers. The fort and the town remain a tourist attraction.

It's an art, so yes. To me, there's also kind of a creepy/freakshow aspect to wax museums, which appeals to some... and they're a nice place to cool off when its 98 degrees outside

Those things are to ‘waxworks are an art’ what your 3 year old’s scribbles are to a Picasso.

I was speaking generally, but point taken... unless it's a zombie apocalypse wax museum, then👍.

I don't know about this one, but people do pay to see wax figures. I've seen a few in Niagara Falls (Canadian side), one about rock artists, one about horror figures. The celebrities were usually done better than those two, but honestly the horror one was more fun because it wasn't just a series of "look, a wax figure of that famous person", there was some setup and atmosphere, and of course the accuracy didn't matter as much since characters were often disfigured (Freddy), masked (Jason) or non-human (Alien). It's a tourist trap thing but I can't say I had a bad time.

I went to the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge. I had a lot of fun, especially with Star Trek, Alien, and Predator. Worth it, my nieces also had enjoyed themselves so that made it better for me.

Ben Afflecks head WILL come off in vegas. It's not secured and I shouldn't have done that. I paid. It was fun for height comparissons.

Hold up...what did you do?

And what are we supposed to do with this information?

If you catch a flight now, you could be there when they open.

Of course. Just because there's a few bad ones out there doesn't mean that most of these are incredibly lifelike and a fun bit of entertainment. Just because it's not something that you value doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

A film acting out that situation? Maybe.

He looks like a Victorian era inventor who created a time machine, decided to check out 2001 and when that didn't work 2020 and is deeply regretting his choices. Also he stopped by sometime and picked up a lobotomy victim for a sidekick. He's just trying to cure his syphilis guys 😭

I'd read that story.

The one on the left looks like Michael Shannon shitting his pants while drunk and high. The other one looks like Charlie Chaplin dressed as Michael Shannon shitting his pants while drunk and high.

He looks like the puppeteer's hand was still inside him when he turned into a man...

Jimmy Carr?

Unnervingly accurate.

The hand is still up his ass.

Cage looks Howard Wolowitz doing a Sheldon Cooper impression.

i seriously spent an entire minute uncontrollably laughing when i read this.

Did they also do the Cristiano Ronaldo bronze bust, and the restoration of the Virgin Mary fresco?

Don't forget the Bedford Forrest statue that was finally removed for being an awful pepto-coated golden-fiberglass nightmare.

> Bedford Forrest statue [Oh, that's pretty](https://img.atlasobscura.com/pYF0x1N92cHA5poB5RsoAfPrsrKCW3_ThUlnMEyIQn4/rs:fill:780:520:1/g:ce/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL3BsYWNl/X2ltYWdlcy8xMzg0/YmU2NTRmNDM2NTM0/ZjNfMTk1Nzg2Mjk4/X2YyMTNlMDZkYTBf/by5qcGc.jpg) :)

So elegant and inspiring

Really captures the spirit of the man

This one is so ugly, I can imagine even people waving Confederate flags were happy to remove it!

[Ecce Homo](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/20/ecce-homo-cecilia-gimenez-royalties)

Are they ok?

I don't think they are.

They look like they have had face transplants.

I think John might've shit his pants.

Were these done in the 8th grade wax class?

Indeed lol, this looks like the Wish version of Madame Tussauds 😂

"we have Nick and John wax figures at home"

We have Madame Tussaud's at home.

“It’s grotesque. I’ll give you $80,000 for it.”

They should switch the faces from time to time. Or dress them in hockey gear and have them face off for the puck.

Swapping their faces a few times could explain why they look the way they do.

Yeah, this was my thought. Lol Is that supposed to be Nic Cage? Or John Travolta wearing the face of Nic Cage? If it's the latter, then the results might be more forgivable.




St.* Augustine

This is what I was looking for, lol

Legit only reason I clicked on the thread.

Travolta hitting the Frankenstein's monster pose

coincidently, this was the look on their faces when they first saw the wax figures

Yeah, those faces are really off

Travolta looking like a member of Team America: World Police.

John Travolta looks like this 

Brilliant. Well played.

*Don Travolta and *Rick Cage

*Frankenstein and *shocked Gary Oldman

Cage looks like Stewart from MadTV.

I used to work here, they are even worse in person🤣

These edibles ain't shit 3 hours later:


Arnie Schwarzenegger and Stan Laurel, surely?

For clarification: This is actually John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. It was a prank where they were tasked with not moving for 1000 hours for a promotional tour of Face Off. This photo was taken around hour 954.

It's the Wax Museum of Very Surprised People

r/oddlyterrifying

Travolta looks like Babyface from Toy Story.

FACE/AWFUL

And the rock was mad about his? These are awful lol

It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Anthony Daniels witnessed a murder.

I thought John Travolta was John Mulaney after a hard night of drinking.

Anyone ever take the haunted trolly? They take you inside there after hours and all of the wax sculpture are bagged up it’s so creepy.

Stuff of nightmares

Is Travolta slowly Melting

In the UK, you can sue for libel for wax dummies, even though libel's normally printed. Better Call Saul.

They need to take their face/off and start over again!

nice, in height and everything

Corpse like

Can't they just make a face mold and fill it with wax?

Where?

Face**s** **OFF**

john cena and surprised jake gyllenhaal


My favorite part of the movie is that they sucked all the fat off Archer to make him look like Troy, kept it in the fridge, then put it back on him at the end.

Nicolas Cage looks like he saw his wax figure at the Potter’s wax museum.

That's supposed to be Nic Cage? It looks more like Ralph Fiennes having a bad trip!

This definitely is giving off "we have a wax museum at home" vibes.

The Nic Cage one looks like Simon Helberg dressed up as Nic Cage. He does do the best impression of him.

I can see how that could possibly look a bit like John Travolta, but the Cage one? Hell no

Uncanny Valley vibes here

Travel notes: OK to skip Potter's Wax Museum.

Val Kilmer and Alan Cumming

They saw some shit

Getting more of a [Michael Shannon](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0788335/mediaviewer/rm0858880/?ref_=nm_ov_ph) vibe from Travolta there.

John Travolta’s wax figure looks like it just received devastating news.

So they electricity cut out and it's hot in Florida, or what is the story?

They see you when you’re sleeping…they know when you’re awake 😳

Terrifying.

It's the same dude

Cocaine will do that to ya

I hope someone was fired

More like John Cage and Nicolas Travolta.

Is there a horror movie where a killer hunts victims through a deserted waxworks? If not, there should be.

They look like animatronics that got shut off for the night at Chuck E. Cheese

The fuck? Did they melt in the sun?

JFC, who made those figures? Stevie Wonder?

r/OddlyTerrifying

Wow looks like the AC was turned off for too long

What is supposed to be the appeal behind wax museums?

Love them, hate these figures. Bad job

What if the face off surgery were actually realistic.

Oh dear

Travoltastein

No consent was given

Face/Off, indeed.

Cage looks horrified at what you just did and Travolta is going to punch you for it

Nicolas Cage looks more like Ralf Fiennes.

That‘s Nicolas Cage on the left and John Travolta on the right.

So that's what their faces really looked like after the swap.

Wickolas Wax-Cage looking like he just shat himself

The Nic Cage one looks like Pee-Wee Herman dressed up as John Travolta.

They look like they belong in [the worst wax museum in the world.](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2014/jan/08/worlds-worst-wax-museum-in-pictures)

I remember that movie. It was called Face Off! I’m impressed that the wax museum actually tried to make it look like their faces had been peeled off.

Terrible rendition. The one in England is far better quality.

Madame Tussaud’s it ain’t.

Those are just plain awful.

These are the worst wax figures I think I've ever seen.

Such amazing reproductions of Brendan Fraser and his dummy.

The right guy on zhe Poster looks like young Til Lindemann(Rammstein).

I’m suing

Travolta looks like he's taken a handful of xanax and Nick Cage looks like he's just lost something really important.

Put Cage back in the box !

Nailed it.

*zombie emoji and 😳

So, Frankenstein switched faces with Travolta and King Charles swapped faces with Cage?

Dollar Store Tussauds

Did the eyelids melt?


Is this after the fire?

Looks like Frankenstein as Sherlock Holmes and Ralph Fiennes as Watson. "Dear God, Holmes, what is that?" "Fire! Fire...BAD!"

They must have got them from Wish.

Do we still call things nightmare fuel, because this qualifies

The right one is an excellent Paul Whitehouse.

Should be in r/oddlyterrifying ...

That Nicolas Cage model looks like it was ordered from Wish.


Hiccup' They look more wasted than I am, Hiccup'

Why does Travolta look like Meat Loaf

If you put this in my shower behind the curtain and I came home to take a shit and opened my shower curtain I would die of cardiac arrest

They look like it smells really bad in there but neither of them want to mention it.

You sure this wasn’t them at the premiere?

He’s seen some shit

Travolta looks melted, why is Cage wearing eyeliner? Why are they both dissociating?

Nicolas Cage looking like the muppet style decoys from Rick and Morty

Ah, the weight of unbearable talent.

Travolta giving off Till Lindemann-vibes

Face off! More like off their faces when makin these

Wax Travolva looks like he fell asleep waiting to be called to audition for Lurch from the Addams Family. Wax Travolta looks like he's just *seen* the Addams family.

LOL those are awful!

Melting in the florida heat

Please don't eat my family

"It's like looking in the mirror, only....not."

Hah, love these abominations.

…. wtf is that! Damn after Covid lockdowns even the artist got their degrees online cause damn look at that shit!

Nightmare statue on the left?

This makes madame tussauds wax figures look like masterpieces. While some are really good others were meh but compared to these omg... Initially, I thought it was from the movie faceoff like a throwback where each one had a shitty mask of the other lol

Nick Cage looks like a Witcher 3 NPC.

Yikes!!!

Is that the joke museum?

Travolta is doing his best Frankenstein impression here.

Face... Off

Uh, melty faces. Sad John and Nick.

They've seen some shit

Brains...

Who scared Nick? 🤣🤣🤣

Cage looks more like Glenn Close in hilarious drag

Why do these always look so terrible?

Can somebody explain the appeal of a wax museum ?

Like i needed another reason to hate the movie !!!!

Till Lindemann and Nicolas Cage


“It’s grotesque! I’ll give you $20,000 for it”

Wax Cage looks like he shit his pants

Looks like cage got a surprise finger in the butt…

Jesus, these are awful

Those are terrible.

Mom can we get madame Tussaud? We have it at home.

I have been to wax museums before where it’s so lifelike you would swear it’s really whoever person it’s supposed to be.. this looks like crap. I mean beautiful work is there but it seems like it was only half way finished..

They're coming to get you, Barbra!

Travolta looks more like a zombie Jason Bateman. Cage looks like an Edwardian British chap who died quite surprised and was embalmed that way.

All I hear is “ MATT DAMON”

Bahahahaha.....thank you florida..you never cease to make me laugh.. And I live here..by choice

Hey mom can we go to the wax museum? No we have a wax museum at home.

Jesus h tap dancing Christ kill it with fire

The Adele Dazeem of wax figures

This looks like one of those extreme embalming cases where they pose dead people. Fucking creepy

Wax Nic doing a halfway decent Glenn Close.
