This subject contains information from the "Lovecraft Circle" Myth Cycles, and while guided by HPL are not based on his work alone. George Rogers' Wax Museum is, as the name implies, a private collection of waxworks opened in a basement by George Rogers after his dismissal from Madame Tussaud's. In addition to the usual grizzly models popular at the time, the museum also houses a curtained off alcove displaying an array of pieces too horrifying for the general public.

Some of them are actually bodies sealed in wax.
