The myth is as big as the beast itself. For decades, film lovers and King Kong fans alike have been looking for the \"missing spider-pit scene\" from Merian C. Cooper\'s 1933 classic, King Kong. In this season\'s blockbuster remake, director Peter Jackson recreated the scene in which giant spiders devour scared sailors on Skull Island . But a local comic book collector says he has proof the original \"missing\" spider pit scene was never shot. With the holiday release of the remake, Universal Studios produced King Kong: Peter Jackson\'s Production Diaries. One segment discusses the myth of the missing scene. \"It\'s very sought after and valued,\" said Cynthia Erb, a film professor at Wayne State University in Michigan and author of Tracking King Kong: A Hollywood Icon in World Culture. \"It\'s because of the special effects.\"
