Freaky Wax Realism

Scary only begins to describe the Thomas Kuebler wax sculptures. Life-sized and chillingly realistic, Kuebler’s work references creepy characters of legends, folk tales, and horror stories—the kind of characters—immortalized in wax or not—you wouldn’t want to be alone with.

Separated into different categories like ‘Witches and Wisemen’ and ‘Beggars and Freaks,’ the Thomas Kuebler wax sculptures include everything from terrifying zombies to characters like ‘Carcass Pete,’ a vengeful soul wrongly accused of murder and hanged for it.
