It's not so much the wax celebrities, as it is the traditional "Chamber of Horrors." A good wax museum has a strongly worded disclaimer that one must read, and on occasion sign off on, to heighten the effect.
There is also a level of skill and atristry related to working in wax that often goes unregarded. Does the figure look like the named celebrity, or is it only though careful examination of the tableau or description that you figure out who it is supposed to be? Is it the steely eyes and craggy visage that reveals to you the identity of Clint Eastwood, or is it the "Do you feel lucky, punk?" pose?
