Yes, one can imagine the fright when......

204.196.181.118

those people back then saw "King Kong" on it's initial release. They
saw the completely UNCUT version; over a period of years, many cuts were
made, then later restored; but one cut got lost, and that was perhaps the
most gruesome of the entire film: the scence where KK dumped the men off
the log into the ravine where they were EATEN BY GIANT SPIDERS!
Reportedly, codirector Merian Cooper, took out the hideous scene because
that's all people talked about upon leaving the theaters; he said it stopped the rest of the film cold! (Think there might have been a Triceratops dinosaur scene that got lost too.) - AH
