If you check out the new "King Kong" DVD set, in the special features section of Disc 2, Peter Jackson and his team actually tried to recreate the "spider pit" scene, using old stop-motion techniques and grainy black-and-white cinematography. It was quite interesting, actually. They said they weren't trying to make it official or anything, but it was more of a "what-if" situation that some Kong fans cooked up. it's pretty nifty.
