A film crew goes to “Skull Island” for an exotic location shoot and discovers a colossal ape who takes a shine to their female blonde star. He is then captured and brought to New York City for public exhibition as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. Pre-show music performance by Inwood Ragtag Twosome (IRT) at 7:00pm.

The screenplay by James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose was developed from an idea conceived by Cooper and Edgar Wallace. It stars Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot and Robert Armstrong, and opened in New York City on March 2, 1933, to rave reviews. It has been ranked by Rotten Tomatoes as the 5th greatest horror film of all time and the twentieth greatest film of all time.
