  It boggles my mind that no one has made a movie called Amityville Terror by now. It just seems like the perfect way to mockbust The Amityville Horror. In any event, one is on its way courtesy of Uncork’d Entertainment, and we have your first look!
- 2023 March 1, Gene Phillips, “KING OF THE LOST WORLD (2005)”, in NATURALISTIC! UNCANNY! MARVELOUS!‎^[2]:
  KING OF THE LOST WORLD was clearly designed to "mockbust" the big-budget KING KONG of 2005. But it seems that the producers at The Asylum company were a little more cautious than usual, because on occasion the owners of the franchise built upon the 1933 KONG have become litigious.
