Peter Jackson’s vision of skull island might be the most accurate depiction of an island lost in time. Maybe somewhere still undiscovered there is one lost in time.
As a bug lover I too find that scene horrifying. I’m the guy that can calmly and casually grab a Black Widow or a Rattlesnake with my bare hands and not think much of it and I shudder at that scene!
In my opinion, Peter Jackson’s iteration of Skull Island in his 2005 Remake of King Kong is undoubtedly the most dangerous to date. Everything about that version of the island is hell personified, the inhabitants are straight out monsters that would devour anything they see. Utterly brutal and relentless as shown by the Vastatosaurus Rex. The infamous insect pit is something you’d see if you were to in vision what the bottom of a dark abyss would look like, absolutely nightmare fuel that would traumatized the shit out of you.
I forgot his name but when I watched skull island a while ago when one of the guys was being eaten from the head by the carnictis gave me shivers, imagine just being ambushed by a bunch of massive bugs ready to tear you apart… Keep up the great Content!
The amount of time and effort Peter Jackson and the crew took to create these animals and environment for Skull Island is just amazing. Honestly I would watch a Attenborough like documentary about the daily life of them.
Mate, the fact that you started off with the Carnictis Meat Weasel (the one that scared me the most as a kid) is crazy. Quit reading my damn mind! I was talking about it right before you 🤣 I'm astonished with how in-depth you went into everything and I absolutely love this video. You've done an awesome job 👏😄
Thank you for enjoying, and I'm glad I was able to give you what you were looking for! I tried to bring real world applications to the animals of the island.
The scene with the bugs traumatized me as a young kid. I remember I couldn't eat for weeks. Especially the worms haunted me for years after I first watched the film. Now that I am 22 and have revisited the film, its not so bad as I remembered it, but still creepy.
The amazing, terrifying, and surprisingly very scientifically accurate fauna of Peter Jacksons King Kong is very underrated, even among the dinosaur and and movie monster community. I mean seriously, why isn't this Skull island as popular as something like Jurassic Park. I love those movies but come on, Skull Island has dinos AND prehistoric bugs and creatures. We need more content related to this.
Your speaking voice is very clear and the video is very in depth both in terms of the lore of skull island and the real world counterparts. I like your channel a lot, keep it up.
There was also a lost bug pit scene that in the original king kong in 1933 which peter jackson added into his 2005 remake of king kong and recreated the lost scene with the same stop motion 🦍
The Group of People in the Abyss was the most Terrify part in the movie for me, just Imagine your one of those people love the Channel dinofax keep it up, can't wait to see 1mil subs💯🤝🗿
To this day, this version of Skull Island remains the most frightening to me, especially after having played the survival horror-esque game for the Xbox 360. I recommend it to anyone that hasn't played it, a short but solid game.
24:36 I think the largest spider you showed here is the same as the one from Kong: Skull Island where the leftover army team went through a bamboo forest but as they look up they see the bodies of the spiders and one member of their team gets impaled by the legs of one of it and they somehow shoot some sort of web/sticky substance that basically is a claw machine and drag them up to their main body to eat the prey safely
This is the picture of a supernaturally giant wolf spider not Mother Longlegs. Please don’t compare the love, craft, research and genius of Jackson’s vision for love island with that god awful unrealistic low effort Kaiju shit
Best Skull Island EVER! God I wish it was real, love those dinosaurs.... but also fun fact the Skull Crawler was in the original 1933 movie Spider Pit scene you see a two legged lizard crawling the walls of the Spider Pit. Also what a perfect place to sentence our most condemned criminals to be Bug food :)
Man, imagine if the Skull Islands from Peter Jackson, and the Monsterverse combined! *shutters* That would be terrifying… But, cool at the same time! Hey, do you think you could do a biology of The Monsterverse Skull Island creatures?
Worst part of the movie for ME was the WORMS with their gross elongating mouth-bits.. and that poor dude getting eaten alive- skull island is a brutal, horrific place
I really want tk thank you. I truly enjoy how you approach fantasy species. You use technical language but the videos remain understandable for normie.
Look less as flatworms and think more like Bobbitt worms. A possible cross breed between Bobbitt worm and a similar land type worm. Or a highly evolved type of Bobbitt worms? Carnictis just shares so many traits with the Bobbitt worms, except Bobbitt worms live in the ocean. Both of them them live near thermal volcanic vents
Hey man, been following for a while fell, in love with your dinosaur videos, stayed for the dinosaurs. But seriously you reawakened my love for dinosaurs and it kills me that there isn't a horror game with Dino's in it
This movie was very good growing up and i love to watch it again and again. you are a amazing youtuber and i wish you could tell my friends facts they dont know. keep up the amazing work
Even if you nuked the bug pit it wouldn’t do the trick because of the caverns and the resilience of bugs in general. Only the ones that got blasted directly would be gone but there will be enough in the crevices that will survive.
Yeah right Was scared shitless when i was Younger playing the ps2 Game Now i want a Remake, i want to Experience the Horrors of this Island again in 4k
I remember going to the theaters to watch this with my dad and that night I couldn't sleep at all because I was scared one the bugs would eat me lol. I was 8
7:20 spiders are arachnids, which are arthropods. I think the word you were looking for here was crustacean? Arthropod is a phylum that includes arachnids, insects, crustaceans, and myriapods (millipedes and centipedes).
They will come! As I said early on, many of skull islands Creepy Crawlies are actually waterbound species, and will be included in a video about the waterways
I would love to see a nature documentary focused on Peter Jackson's depiction of Skull Island, Kong and all the creatures look like they could exist in the real world.
You know the more recent monster in skull Islands remake sure are scary because they eat anything whole. However, the creatures in the Peter Jackson Skull Island will always hold special place in my memories as the coolest and personally scariest monsters.
All iterations of skull island have their perks, Peter Jackson’s has the creepiest animals, Kong skull island has overall the most powerful and dangerous animals. Then there’s the anime’s skull island which is almost a combination of the first two
I remember being 10 and going to the movies with my mother, I was so eager cause I was, and still am, a huge prehistoric life and monster fan. Already played the game, exited to see my fav creatures. Gladly, the pit wasnt in the game, or not as far in as I was. Cried like hell during that scene because the cook was my fav character and damn that scene was going on way too long. Also bawled my eyes out at the end but got comforted by 2 older teengirls, which were equally crying.
I love insects, arachnids and arthropods in general. Last week I ran into a small yellow and black version of the wicked weaver in a forest trail here in Brazil 😍
I use this video to not be as scared of our true insects and spooders, yes we have these guys or at least versions of them but they’re much much smaller and more scared of you than you are of them, so thank you for the other side of the coin which is helping people not be scared ❤ although centipedes and millipedes aren’t as scary to me as a massive toothy worm or Shelob incarnates
As a certified arachnophobe I can safely say that THIS: (21:10 - 21:16) WAS DONE ON PURPOUSE!! 😂😂 PS: Jokes on you though, I may be scared of spiders, but I fuckin love 'em for how creepy they can actually get, The huntsman spider being my personal favourite ^3^ Edit: Another spider i like is the St andrew's cross spider, Just so everyone knows ^^
This is a good video. How much insectide would you need to get rid of all the insects in all the pits of skull island? Would insectide be most effective or would incendiary weapons work better?
About the deplectors, just a thought but id like to think it had a type of silk that could harden over time to the point its like a anchor, when it need to move, it would release more silk but because its new silk it would be softer and able to be detached like normal silk
Just find a Latin word for your creatures' unique structure or behaviour, then mix it with saurus. Note: Obviously, this is simplistic, but it's a good starting point
I may fear bugs, but I still wanna learn about life that does not exist! (On earth anyway) so I’m gonna watch, cause I’m determined. Also, I want my mooooooomy!!!!

Honestly, this is facts. The amount of time, effort, and detail in this mythical world is astonishing and amazing. Truly art

There’s a weird Dino humanoid thing that shifts from the corner of my screen

I hated the pit scene. Never did like bugs with VERY few exceptions though. However, with Carnictus, that thing is nightmare inducing.

@@justapillow2443that do?
@IceGodzilla619 Yes, especially comparing the 2005 Brontosaurus with the 1933 Brontosaurus.
The insect pit is almost like a massive digestive system with creepy creatures to break things down
This is true
The Pit scene in Peter Jackson’s King Kong is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in cinema.
Agreed. It is probably the only traumatizing scene I've ever seen as a kid. Horror movies? Nah those are weak. King Kongs pit scene? Scarred for life.
The lack of sound really added to the fear , it felt like the audience was being eaten too.
I forgot his name but when I watched skull island a while ago when one of the guys was being eaten from the head by the carnictis gave me shivers, imagine just being ambushed by a bunch of massive bugs ready to tear you apart… Keep up the great Content!

It’s a crime you aren’t as popular as casual geographic.
While I appreciate the compliment, I don't know about that. Mamadou has amazing content, and he is my inspiration
@@TheDinoFax While your content style is similar, you take inspiration while putting a unique twist on your content which I seriously like.
@@TheDinoFax Also I have a request, If you’ve seen the movie do you think you could do the Fauna of land of the lost? (2009)
If Casual geographic ever does a Dinosaur video it has to be a collab with you.

Always loved this scene
Such cool creature designs
The idea of a dark canyon biome of anthropod horrors is so cool to me
I love how this video is basically saying “Yeah you know the 25 foot tall Gorilla? He’s the least nightmare inducing animal on the island”.
The Pit.
Because even on Skull Island, there has to be one place everyone takes one look at and says, "Fuck That."
Peter Jackson’s skull island is the most badass version with the coolest animals
24:36
I think the largest spider you showed here is the same as the one from Kong: Skull Island where the leftover army team went through a bamboo forest but as they look up they see the bodies of the spiders and one member of their team gets impaled by the legs of one of it and they somehow shoot some sort of web/sticky substance that basically is a claw machine and drag them up to their main body to eat the prey safely
That is a completely separate creature known as a Mother Longlegs. They aren't the same
This is the picture of a supernaturally giant wolf spider not Mother Longlegs.
Please don’t compare the love, craft, research and genius of Jackson’s vision for love island with that god awful unrealistic low effort Kaiju shit

"Nuke em!:
"No!"

Its weird bc i have arachnophobia but i LOVE this lore. However the footage of the actual spider you showed scared the sin out of me
Gotta love the weta workshop for amazing art
Bro, why did you have to get me with that jumpscare at 21:16
Best Skull Island EVER!

Those millipedes were nightmarish in the King Kong video game. 😩
Yeah right
Was scared shitless when i was Younger playing the ps2 Game
Now i want a Remake, i want to Experience the Horrors of this Island again in 4k
Same here. The Xbox 360 version ain't bad graphics-wise, especially for it's time. Hopefully, one day we'll get really a good JP/W or King Kong game.

Wait? So a meter long centipede is too heavy to climb trees, but a 25ft gorilla isn't? 🤔
I think the gorilla is much lighter than he should be, so it can swing about. Or the centipede is much heavier than it should be. Idk.
For me I do like big giant bug/spider creatures and movies 😊

Edit: Another spider i like is the St andrew's cross spider, Just so everyone knows ^^
Thank you for the warning, as someone who likes poking at my fears, but lightly (I’m watching the video after all), I’ll probably skip that part.
What kind of spider is that? Looks too fluffy.
This is a good video. How much insectide would you need to get rid of all the insects in all the pits of skull island? Would insectide be most effective or would incendiary weapons work better?
Napalm. Lots of napalm.
Nothing mortal made of flesh and blood is fireproof. "BURN THEM ALL!" Cookie if you get it.

The tarantula jump scare made me scream
i absolutly hate bugs and especially spiders but this stuff really interest me and i cant stop watching
Australia but beefed up bro 💀💀
Hell yeah 👍 I love this movie and the monsters this version of the king Kong universe is too underrated it's awesome I love it
Skull island= prehistoric Australia
Imagine a game about these insects
There is a game that somwwhat follows the Movie but i can't recall the complete name. It's quite old, it was an Xbox 360 game.
you forgot about the Scorpio-pede
That spider jump scare got me so fucking bad lol
21:16 uncalled for.
Geez! No wonder Kong stayed so high up in the mountains.
Leave it to the monkey to get it right
The dinosaurs of Skull Island were freaky. These are terrifying.
Wow
the wasp reminds me of vespoid queen from monster hunter freedom
About the deplectors, just a thought but id like to think it had a type of silk that could harden over time to the point its like a anchor, when it need to move, it would release more silk but because its new silk it would be softer and able to be detached like normal silk
Can you make a short or video on Pickle from Baki?
So this is like the rotten vale from monster hunter world but with giant insects instead?
Every aspect of Carcnictus is much more like an annelid such as a leech or bloodworm, rather than a platyhelminth like a tapeworm.
Can you do all creatures of Primeval?
How do they give them cool names? I want to make some evolved dinosaurs, but I can't think of anything
Just find a Latin word for your creatures' unique structure or behaviour, then mix it with saurus.
Note: Obviously, this is simplistic, but it's a good starting point
I remember reading somewhere that, in skull island, a dead body won't be ignored
I may fear bugs, but I still wanna learn about life that does not exist! (On earth anyway) so I’m gonna watch, cause I’m determined. Also, I want my mooooooomy!!!!
Out of curiosity, what is the name of the music being played during the start of the video?
