Wyatt opened up about how all that he wanted to do was to make his audience on Twitter laugh and he never thought that his thread would become so popular. "But I’ve had a few viral tweets and you really never know what will take off. Glad people are enjoying the nightmares though!"

"The Julia Louis Dreyfus is very egregious because Elaine was one of the prettiest TV characters ever and you completely botch everything about her and make it hideous. But by far the worst one, in my opinion, is Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. Because it would be impossible to tell who he is just by appearance alone. He looks like a crotchety old man and resembles Leonardo’s old age makeup from J. Edgar," Wyatt shared with us what he thinks are the very worst offenders in the wax figure collection.

"Wax figures are inherently creepy, but a good one will give you the uncanny valley feeling where you’re not exactly sure if it’s real or not. These don’t even have that, they look like the old Disneyland animatronics from when Walt Disney was still alive! And people were paying to see these garbage wax figures well into the mid-2000s," he said.

We were also interested to find out more about Wyatt as a person. He told Bored Panda that he's a production assistant on movies and TV shows. "And when I’m not working on set, I do video editing in my spare time. I’ve currently got a YouTube series called Garf Gab where I go through each episode of Garfield and Friends and riff on them. Other than that, I just post dumb tweets like the wax figure thread for everybody’s amusement!"

From characters from the hit TV show Seinfeld to a life-sized version of Tom Cruise, these are all figures with which you could scare the jinkies out of anyone if you ever put them up in your window (or left them out on your front lawn at night). Wyatt’s thread got over 25.8k likes on Twitter and fascinated people as the post spread across the net.

I’ll be completely honest—I’m not a fan of wax figures and I personally don’t think that it’s possible to consistently create good-looking representations of anyone that isn’t a cartoon character.

In my opinion, it’s not even a question of skill (the amount of work done is huge, but it’s rare for the figures to come out great like some figures at Madame Tussauds’): the medium just isn’t right and more often than not, the end results end up slap-bang in the middle of the Uncanny Valley.

There’s just something about the figures’ smiles and their eyes that gives me goosebumps. In other words, wax figures scare me like clowns do some other people. It could be just me, but I always suspect the figures are moving when I’m not looking at them. And before you know it… Tom Cruise has snuck up on you!
