  • Figures de Cire (also known in English as The Man with Wax Faces, and re-released in 1918 as L'Homme aux figures de cire) is a 1914 French short silent horror film directed by Maurice Tourneur. The film stars Henry Roussel, and was based upon the short story of the same name by André de Lorde. De Lorde adapted the story from the stage play he wrote with Georges Montignac, which was first performed in 1912 at the Grand Guignol in Paris. The film was believed to be lost until a damaged copy was discovered in 2007, and it was subsequently re-released by French film restoration, publishing and production company Lobster Films. Though the tradition of "Chambers of Horror" in wax museums dates back to the late 18th century, the film has been noted as among the first pieces of horror fiction to involve a wax museum, prefiguring 1924's Waxworks, 1933's Mystery of the Wax Museum, and 1953's House of Wax among others.
