Skull Island from the 1933 movie King Kong. The island has a large skull-shaped mountain & the page below has the best screenshot I could find of this. #skullmountain

Zenopus note: As of 2019, this blog is gone. It is preserved on the Internet Archive, but without the images. I added the best screen capture from the internet I could find at this moment.
It's been a while since I've watched the movie, but apparently only the term "Skull Mountain" is used in the movie, not "Skull Island":
ReplyDelete"Everyone knows that Kong's island was called Skull Island, right? Wrong. Just as Bogie never really said "Play it again, Sam", in neither the 1933 nor the 1976 version of King Kong does anyone refer to "Skull Island". Not even in the 1933 novelization. In the 1933 film, there is a distinctive rocky knoll in the middle of the island roughly shaped like a skull. Carl Denham points this out to Ann Darrow and she says: "Oh yes, I remember you telling me. Skull Mountain." (In the 1933 novelization, the map is described as depicting "a high wooded island with a skull-like knob...", and Denham cries out: "Skull Mountain!" on sighting the island.)"
