" Madame Prefers Them Hand-Dipped" revolves around the mysterious Madame X, who wishes to capture the Lupin gang, turn them into wax figures, and add them to her collection of encased celebrity corpses.They end up learning that the company is being run by the descendants of those working in Unit 731 and that the process to make the art displays involves kidnapping unsuspecting tourists out of dressing rooms, draining their blood, and flushing out their intestines. In The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, one job has the group travel to China to investigate a company that produces artistic mannequin displays made from human remains.What makes it even creepier is that one of the girls used in the experiment is Omi's cousin and ex-girlfriend Ouka Sakaki, who was shot to death some time ago, and her grief-stricken and maddened father (and Omi's uncle) Reiji Takatori asked the artist to pretty much make her corpse into a human mannequin, apparently as a way to cope with the loss of the only of his children that he gave a damn for. Used in the Knight Hunters CD Drama "Tearless Dolls", in which one of many Mad Artists employs the replacing-the-blood-with-glycerine method to living victims.
Compare Taxidermy Is Creepy and Taxidermy Terror. Often incorporates Taken for Granite and/or the Uncanny Valley.
Subtrope of Body in a Breadbox and Dead Guy on Display. Probably because the last and only people to possess the skill - or the desire - to do such a thing are now dead.) (They rarely get made into statues, though. If the method of preservation involves a large laboratory filled with open vats of wax or chemicals, you can expect the villainous madman or his henchmen to wind up falling or tossing themselves into one of the vats at the end of the story. If they happen to have art itself as a superpower, then their targets are pretty much screwed. Sometimes a Wax Museum Morgue may appear in a fantasy/sci-fi setting, in which case the fanatical " artist" will probably use some sort of magic petrification spell or Applied Phlebotinum to preserve their victims. Or sometimes, the madman will use just plain old taxidermy to stuff his victims, but any human preserved this way will usually wind up looking a lot rougher (having leathery skin, huge stitches, etc.,) than if they had been preserved by any other method. Some more thoughtful madmen may pre-kill their victims and embalm them before dipping them in wax. never mind that this would probably result in severe scalding of the victim, and that the gases released by decomposition would quickly render a person preserved in this way unsuitable for looking at unless they were part of a horror exhibition. Methods of preserving a human corpse in a Wax Museum Morgue may vary, but the most classic method is to simply coat a still-living body with a thin layer of wax. Surely there could be nothing evil or insane about that. Besides, these people aren't just being given death, they're being granted immortality as well, being forever preserved at the moment in life when they were at their most perfect, their most beautiful. They're not ones to let little things like morality and ethics stand in the way of their genius. Never mind the fact that someone has to die for every eerily lifelike statue they produce. Often these things are run by fanatical sculptors who lost their skills at one point (either through disease or by accident) and had to turn to mad science as a way of regaining their ability to express themselves artistically. The Wax Museum Morgue is a staple setting of the pulp horror movie.
