They're only Mummies if they came back to life in the Mummy region in Egypt. Otherwise they're just sparkling zombies.

Yes, I do indeed enjoy King Kong's magnificent franchise – let alone the main character himself. I mean, what is there not to love about his film series and other? He rules over a mystical island with dinosaurs and gigantic insects and arachnids, he can take on military crafts like they were merely mechanical mosquitoes (even though not all of his incarnations survived), he faced off against a robotic counterpart of himself as well as Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, and even HIS robotic counterpart. Kong, regardless if he is the last of his species, is simply that godly beast among primates. And you would think that mankind dominated the realm of great apes until seeing this bad boy in action on a screen or on stage. I truthfully do not understand how this monstrous superstar doesn't yet have his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame unlike his Japanese rival of the monster subgenre, which absolutely surprises me.

Not only has King Kong given so much influence for other giant monster films like "Godzilla" and "Gamera," but had managed to change the way of Hollywood-filmmaking itself. Granted, his first motion picture in history was rather controversial, but nevertheless, it was a stop-motion phenomenon for adventure, horror and science fiction. To this day, I am always going to feel proud to have known the Eighth Wonder of the World since I was a three-year-old boy. I even remember when my mother first gave me that little black T-shirt of the Peter Jackson iteration of Kong fighting a Vastatosaurus rex (the 2005 film's supposed descendant species of Tyrannosaurus rex). I even played with an action figure of that same version of the King Kong character until it somehow got damaged one day.

Oh, how those memories glide through my brain every now and then. I can not possibly be any happier with life in popular culture knowing that I won't get away from the righteous ruler of Skull Island (and Hollow Earth) anytime soon. And although I may not expect myself to be a father one day, if I eventually become one, I wish my children might carry on the fanatic spirit for such a tremendously fantastic franchise if they were to start getting into monster fiction.

But enough of these extended thoughts. Feel welcome to hit this post up with a Like (❤️) if you are also enthusiastic about the legendary King of the Primates.

I went to wondercon! I had a ton of fun with my friends and buying too many books which I then carried around for 10 hours but I also got to meet @drchucktingle, as well as get my copy of Straight signed and I wanted to show off.

And honestly we already knew it but man he is so sweet, he jumped up to take pictures with everyone who stopped by to get a book signed. They had Camp Damascus on sale at the booth, seriously go read it if you haven’t already. Chuck tingles horror is so cathartic and lets out so much anger and pain and hope and it’s so good man.
