Skull Island (King Kong)

Skull Island is a fictional island in the 1933 film King Kong and its sequels, remakes, and other King Kong stories. It is the home of 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 the mammals, along with a primitive society of humans.

In the 1962 King Kong vs. Godzilla and the 1967 King Kong Escapes, the corresponding islands are Faro Island and Mondo Island. Kong plays a similar role in these islands as the god-like being of the land, a role he plays in all versions of the King Kong story. Skull Island's origins are unknown, but Kong and his son appear to be the only giant gorillas on the island. However, the 2005 remake shows skeletons of Kong-sized gorillas, indicating that there was once a group of many such creatures on the island. Additionally, 2017's Kong: Skull Island shows the skeletons of Kong's parents.
