Skull Island is the name most often used to describe a
fictional island first appearing in the
1933 film
King Kong and later appearing in its sequels, the three remakes, and any other King Kong-based media. It is the home of the eponymous
King Kong and several other species of creatures, mostly prehistoric and in some cases species that should have been extinct long before the rise of mammalian creatures such as gorillas, along with a primitive society of humans.
