60s or 70s film about a killer turning people into statues

Movies

I saw this on TV as a young kid in the Midwest in the 70s. I think it’s from the 60s or 70s due to the photography, but it is possible that’s just a long ago, warped memory. This is NOT House of Wax.

The killer is freezing people and posing them. I think he’s storing his collection of statues in a well lit, freezer. One of the statues is an amazon or warrior with a bow and arrow. Someone, possibly the police, interrupt the killer and the temperature rises, partially melting the statues. The warrior melts enough to loose the arrow, killing the killer.

I must of have been four or five when I saw this so I cannot be sure about the story elements above.

TIA

Nightmare in Wax (1969)?

Good candidate but that's not it. For some reason I keep thinking it's a European film.

I’m sure this can’t be right but its what popped in my head…

Nope. What I saw wasn't a comedy.

It’s not exactly the same plot, but try this one…

Nope. Great movie though. Well, Corman levels of greatness.

I think I may have stumbled across a promising candidate: The Ice House 1969. To be sure, I’d have to see it, but I can’t find it. Any ideas?

I’ve just watched the trailer on Letterboxed. It looks like a worse version of Russ Meyer, no statues or Amazons but he seems to put people in the freezer after killing them.

The Ice House is on rarelust.com. Here’s the link; you’ll have to download it.

Thank you! I've got the first part, but the 2nd part can't be extracted. However, the first part seems to have the entire movie AND trailers for other low budget gold, including She Mob, a movie I've been trying to get for a while now. It does not appear that The Ice House is the movie I thought it might be. The search continues.
