Recall the Original King Kong of 1933

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory of the original King Kong movie with A Beast of a Film. When King Kong hit the movie theatres in 1933, audiences were spellbound and, in many cases, left the theatre feeling shaken and terrified. Never before had special effects been executed on such an ambitious and dazzling scale. Read about this classic beast-meets-civilization blockbuster that set a new standard for what audiences would come to expect of monster movies. And you might just hear Fay Wray’s legendary screaming performance ringing in your head!

As an added bonus, in Small Facts about a Big Blockbuster, dive into some of the lesser known facts about the making of King Kong.
