I just saw that popular singer Cher turns 80 years old today, so I thought I'd share this to celebrate.

"As Yuggoth marches his army of beasts across the island, there is little time left to escape… two factions of humans are fighting for the one boat that’s left while also fending off hordes of monsters. Now equipped with a new weapon, Kong faces off against the terror that has poisoned his kingdom… and he does so in the graveyard of the colossal creatures that he has bested before. But which of these titans will join those fossils in death, and who will reign supreme on Skull Island?"

Looking forward to seeing how Kong and Suko's relationship has evolved in "Godzilla x Kong: Supernova" next year! 🌟

Love this fantastic painting of King Kong by Hal Dickens. It perfectly captures the essence of the life size bust of the big guy in the original film 🎨

The guy just woke up hundreds of feet in the air, miles away from his last known location. Head's probably throbbing from the alcoholic berry juice vapors he inhaled the night before, and he's about to be dumped on to some reptilian jerk with bad breath.

He's really going through it 😔

Kong certainly looks imposing! Have you been reading the series so far?

Flashback to when King Kong graced the cover of "The New Yorker" on August 1st, 2005 via a fantastic illustration by Harry Bliss 🎨

Did you pick up a copy back in the day when it was originally released?

The last issue of the series releases next week. Have you been reading it so far?

"The mightiest monster of all time in his greatest adventure: 'King Kong Escapes!'

Can the sinister Dr. Who enslave King Kong's fantastic strength? Can King Kong defy the might of modern artillery, tanks, missles?

See King Kong battle primordial monsters, an air armada, submarines, and finally see King Kong battle man's most evil creation: a robot Kong of Steel in the battle of the century!

All new! More fantastic than ever! 'King Kong Escapes!' Thrilling in Technicolor!"

They really don't make trailers like this anymore. I love the over the top enthusiasm. Seeing this definitely would've made me want to watch "King Kong Escapes" (1967) when it debuted in theatres!

He was, in a sense, King Kong's foster father, as he famously owned and took care of one of the original Kong stop motion armatures used in the original "King Kong" (1933) film.

Here's hoping he's having a great time in the afterlife with his wife Kathy, and all the heroes from the gorilla and monster movies he so greatly admired.

The cinematography of "King Kong" (1976) by Richard H. Kline is phenomenal, but I especially love the look of the waterfall scene between Kong and Dwan (Jessica Lange.) The colours are so vibrant that they really pop off the screen.

It's a visually beautiful moment in the film, that's enhanced beyond belief by John Barry's masterful musical score on full display.

🎬: "The King Kong Show" (1966)

With the MonsterVerse version of the character, Kong didn't know his parents for very long. His mother gave birth to him in an epic battle between the two last surviving members of Kong's species on Skull Island, where she had little time to bond with her newborn son.

What she could do, however, was protect him by hiding him, while she and Kong's father fought what proved to be a fatal fight for the giant apes, sacrificing their lives for their only child.

Thanks to their sacrifice, Kong was able to not only survive, but thrive, and go on to free his people from the tyranny of the evil Skar King from the Subterranean Realm in the Hollow Earth.

That's what a mother's love can do ❤️

🎬: "King Kong" (2005)

Among his vast career, Mr. Honda directed two Kong films, those being "King Kong vs. Godzilla" (1962) and "King Kong Escapes" (1967) for Toho Studios.

One of the films that Turner Home Entertainment colourized in the late 1980s was "King Kong" (1933). While opinions on the final product of Kong's colourization are mixed to say the least, it's still a memorable moment in the cinematic history of the Eighth Wonder of the World.

This is one of the most engaging battles in all of Kong's franchise history. Not only is it animated beautifully, and the accompanying music is fantastic and suitably epic, but what makes this scene truly memorable is because of how personal it is between the two Titans.

Knowing the backstory between the two giant's rivalry makes this clash incredibly engrossing, and all the more satisfying when Kong ultimately triumphs over the sea monster and holds on to his title of the King of Skull Island 👑🦍

What do you think? Do you feel the fight between Kong and the Kraken was memorable?

Since Kong's lived his entire life on a prehistoric island full of dinosaurs and other monsters, it really helps to have a teacher like Bobby Bond who will help him stay up to date with current events and modern ideas.

So next time you see any teachers in your life, whether they're currently teaching you, or have in the past, let them know that you and King Kong appreciate them!

One of the most surprising and fun cameos that King Kong has made over his 93 year career came in the season 16, episode 6, episode of "The Simpsons", "Midnight Rx."

In an effort to go to Canada to smuggle prescription drugs, Homer envisions an amazing plan to get across the boarder, which ivolves Kong carrying him and Grandpa Simpson up North.

Any plan gets better when King Kong is involved, right?
