AThe ending and the film's financial success suggests a sequel is possible. However, the brother's house was destroyed at the end of the movie; the town was finally discovered; and the third brother seemed to have no involvement with the actual making of wax figures (humans included), which makes it doubtful that more could be done.
AWade is the first to die, or at least to fall victim to the killers. He is ambushed in the house and paralysed before being coated in wax. He either dies from shock (due to the side of his face), or in the fire at the end. Dalton is killed next when Vincent decapitates him. Blake is killed next when he's stabbed in the neck. Paige is then hunted down and impaled in the head with a pole. Bo is beaten to death with a baseball bat by Carly. He either died from this or from the fire. Vincent is stabbed in the back by Carly before falling to his death in the molten wax.
QExactly how did the brothers pull it off?
AAt the end of the film, the sheriff mentions that the town has basically been dead since the sugar mill closed down ten years ago. In a small town, that would have been the main source of employment. Without the mill, most of the younger people would probably have left town in search of other work. With fewer people to use the town's shops and facilities, they would have closed down as well, and the people who ran them might have also left. Those that remained were probably killed by Bo and Vincent and made into wax figures. Once there was nobody left in the town, they blocked off the road and gradually started pulling people off it (with the help of their other brother who apparently directed travelers to them). With the amount of missing persons cases today, and the town being virtually non-existent to the rest of the world, the brothers wouldn't be found suspicious since nobody knew about them. We know that they had been doing it for ten years at most, and that would be a reasonable amount of time to fill up the town with wax figures.
