See the Horrific Children's Coloring Pages for KING KONG 1933
 |
| King Kong (1933) - Fay Wray coloring page from The Lima News |
In the build up to what was the hottest movie of 1933, the Ohio newspaper The Lima News printed a series of coloring pages for kids from April 23 - 26, 1933. All six pictures had to be colored and submitted to win the tickets for the Sigma theater in Dayton.
They feature such kid-friendly scenes as women being tied up by savages, King Kong chowing down on a giant Pterodactyl and stabbing a Tyrannosarus [sic] Rex in the neck.

The one with the woman is a bit much. My kids would've colored them. Probably a good thing I'm not a parent.
ReplyDeleteI want to get this book, I have some from when they handed out stuff at the premiere... it's a little jarring.
ReplyDeleteHow quaint, little Johnny remembered to use the red crayon for the blood.
ReplyDeleteDarn. My nieces and nephew are too old for this now. I'm a great aunt. :)
ReplyDeleteWell it was the Great Depression so I guess they had more angst in their coloring books.
ReplyDeleteI guess rampaging dinosaurs were more kid-friendly back then.
ReplyDeleteThe images are too small too, but you never know!
ReplyDeleteROFL He’s quite the little nipper David
ReplyDeleteIt is Jeremy. As an adult this stuff is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOL I’m sure kid’s would love the dinosaurs though
ReplyDeleteThey're all so pretty! Great activities for kids. These days, most would just keep them occupied...and quiet playing games on their ipads
