for The Monster in King Kong: Into the Wolf's Lair
Suggested by steveirwinfan96
The third and final film in the Kong trilogy. Set during the days of WWII, Carl Denham has been recruited by two agents, Cooper and Wallace, to make propaganda films to help with the war effort against the Nazi party, which includes showing Kong on the battlefield, taking out the Nazi forces. At first, Denham is reluctant, but realizing what it could do to help win the war, he agrees and convinces Jack and Ann to allow Kong and his son, now called Kong Jr., to partake in the filming process. When Adolf Hitler gets word of two, strange ape-like creatures demolishing his forces, he sends General Johann Herzog to find Kurt Frankenstein, the latest member of the Frankenstein family and have him create a giant version of the Frankenstein Monster. Kurt is reluctant at first, and only agrees to do so when his family is threatened. It all culminates in the Frankenstein giant clashing with Kong and Kong Jr. while their human allies work to destroy the Nazi forces.
