Criminals Hall of Fame Wax Museum.

Waxy Lizzie Borden Seeking New Home

An interesting eBay item for sale. Full-sized wax figures of 28 criminals, including, for some reason, Lizzie Borden. Now you and I are well aware that Lizzie was acquitted of the crimes for which she was charged (the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden on August 4, 1892), but she lives on in the modern psyche as a hatched or axe wielding monster—blood dripping from the murder implement and splashed on her clothes and face.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now.
