Campbell. It purports to be a documentary about "Sir Hubert Winstead" of London on an expedition to the Belgian Congo, and depicts a tribe of gorilla-worshipping women encountered by the explorer. The film claims to show a ritual in which African women are given over to gorillas as sex slaves, but in actuality was mostly filmed in Los Angeles, using American actresses in place of natives. It was produced and **Son of Ingagi** – really pretty unrelated horror film with an all-black cast > **[Son of Ingagi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Ingagi)** > > Son of Ingagi is a 1940 American monster movie directed by Richard C.

It was inspired by a Jewish folktale, the most prevalent version of the story involving 16th century Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel who created the Golem to protect his people from antisemites. Wegener claimed the film was based on Gustav Meyrink's 1915 novel The Golem, but, as the movie has little to do with existing Jew The 1916 (or 1917, depending on your source) sequel, **The Golem and the Dancing Girl** , was a comedy > **[The Golem and the Dancing Girl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golem_and_the_Dancing_Girl)** > > The Golem and the Dancing Girl (original German title: Der Golem und die Tänzerin) is a 1917 German silent comedy horror film. It is part of a trilogy, preceded by The Golem (1915) and followed by The Golem: How He Came into the World (1920). Paul Wegener and Rochus Gliese co-directed and acted in the film. Wegener also wrote the screenplay. This was the screen debut of Fritz Feld. It was produced by Deutsche Bioscop GmbH. > The Golem and the Dancing Girl is now considered a lost film, though si... Heck, **King Kong** was a serious horror flick, while the sequel, **Son of Kong** , made by the same people (with many of the same actors) was a comedy (necessarily, since they had a fraction of the budget and the time to make it.)
