Today we celebrate the birthday of British writer Edgar Wallace, born today in 1875. Known for writing J. G. Reeder detective stories, and for The Green Archer serial, he is best remembered for writing the original draft of King Kong entitled "The Beast". #EdgarWallace

On this day in 1875 Edgar Wallace was born.
He was born an illegitimate child in poverty and was at one point in a work house. He joined the army before becoming a writer.

Two puzzled men look on as a man in a lab coat gestures furiously at a tiny worm on a pile of dirt in a tray.
One of the strangest stories featuring Edgar Wallace's 'Four Just Men' involved a man who hated earthworms. And here is demonstrating the fact (in a 1921 edition of The Strand Magazine).

#w THE HUNCHBACK OF SOHO (1966), another Edgar Wallace adaptation. This one sees a young heiress kidnapped in order to steal her inheritance. Throw in a school for wayward girls, strangulations & the titular hunchback & its another pleasingly lurid crime thriller.

Ten posters for the 1933 movie King Kong. All feature dramatic scenes of King Kong emerging from the jungle or engaged in his final confrontation on top of the Empire State Building.
No computer trickery will ever match the thrill and excitement of the original 1933 Kong Kong.
