After escaping, he wreaks havoc in London before vanishing under a barrage of depth charges.

In "The Captive Monster," Konga—once a giant of his island—shrink to human size after surviving a nuclear blast, only to be taken in by a tribe of gorillas and crowned their king. As the radiation fades and he grows massive once more, he’s captured by a hunter and paraded as a spectacle across the world, until his escape leads to chaos in London and a final, devastating aerial assault.
A century-empty mansion draws the curiosity of some young visitors one summer night, only to reveal it's harboring far more dangerous secrets than ghost stories—spies have taken refuge in its crumbling rooms. When the intruders discover they've been spotted, supernatural forces intervene in ways no modern weapon can stop, and the house reclaims its mystery. The eerie portrait of Caleb Rees, a patriot lost at sea long ago, may hold the answer to what truly haunts the place.
