Where was the horror wax museum taken in America?

The film was shot in Warner Roadshow Studio in Queensland, Australia, and Guanaba, 45 minutes' drive from the studio, was chosen as the location. The film crew led by director Jim, photographer Steve Winton and artist Graham Walker set up the main set. Producer Silver suggested referring to the architectural style of Asmara, a small town in East Africa, because it was deeply influenced by the modernist architectural trend in the 1930s, and even called "Miami in Africa".

Herb Gaines, the executive producer, soon found a pasture full of cattle, and the environment surrounded by mountains coincided with the isolated landscape of Ambrose, the fictional town in the film. After the cattle were dispersed, it took the crew craftsmen 10 weeks to build Ambrose town on a 3-acre farm. Before, the crew also dug ditches to divert water and buried cables. Two and a half miles of underground cables ensure that 750 lighting lamps can be used freely in shooting. Along the main street of the town, Walker's team also built a gas station, a cinema, a barber shop, a grocery store, a pet shop and some old houses. At the end of the road, there are churches, cemeteries and wax museums built on the mountain.
