April 1953 saw two groundbreaking features in 3D: Columbia's "Man in the Dark" and Warner Bros. "House of Wax", the first 3D feature with stereophonic sound. "House of Wax", outside of Cinerama, was the first time many American audiences heard recorded stereophonic sound. It was also the film that typecast Vincent Price as a horror star as well as the "King of 3-D" after he became the actor to star in the most 3D features (the others were "The Mad Magician", "Dangerous Mission", and "Son of Sinbad"). The success of these two films proved that major studios now had a method of getting filmgoers back into theaters and away from television sets, which were causing a steady decline in attendance.
