Ducktales "1987" - S01E64 - Ducky Horror Picture Show

In the Halloween episode "Ducky Horror Picture Show" of "Ducktales", Scrooge McDuck opens up a new convention center in Duckburg, and although no one seems to believe in his ideas, he is intent on not letting this become his first ever business failure. But his problems only gets bigger when the first people to rent his convention center turns out to be actual classic movie monsters, who are also intent on making some progress in their struggle for "monster rights".

Since this episode is dedicated to classic movie monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Blob, and so on, it's of course only natural that there was going to be a parody on King Kong here as well. Because after the monsters check in at their hotel, namely Scrooge's mansion, a giant gorilla with a ping pong racket, appropriately named "Ping Kong", shows up, and when Scrooge gets terrified by the thought of this giant ape staying at his mansion, the monsters assure him that the ape will only hang out on top of the tallest building in the city. That calms Scrooge down, for a few seconds, until he realises that the tallest building in Duckburg is his very own money bin. So that gives us the full King Kong scenario, with the giant ape beating his chest at the top of the money bin.

Ping Kong performs two variations of chest beating throughout this episode. The single fist version…

And the classic alternating fist version. "If you ask me, this is the right version."

At the end of the episode, Scrooge strikes a deal with the monsters, which both parts will profit from. Namely a live monster show by the money bin. With Mrs. Beakley taking on the role of Fay Wray in a King Kong performance.

"This episode has such a splendid variety of jokes about monster movies, as well homages to the old classic black and white movies. And it's made even more perfect by Ping Kong's chest beating."
