Authors Daniel Loxton and Donald Prothero, in their 2013 book "Abominable Science", argue that the UK release of "King Kong" in the spring of 1933 led directly to the supposed sightings of a sea monster in Loch Ness, Scotland. The first documented sightings of the supposed Loch Ness Monster occurred within six months of the film's release. Supposed witnesses Mr and Mrs George Spicer, who claim to have seen the creature walking on land, described it moving from left to right. The descriptions and blurry photos of "Nessie" that emerged from 1933 on seemed likely inspired by the scene in "King Kong" in which a prehistoric water beast, a "meat-eating" Brontosaurus, attacks the searchers on a raft. Notably, the Brontosaurus also walks from the left side of the screen to the right.
