It is located somewhere in Indian Ocean south of Java, covered by a permanent cloud bank. In the 1976's King Kong, Skull Island is mentioned as being "the beach of the skull". In the novelization of King Kong by Delos Lovelace, it is called "Skull Mountain Island", but RKO referred to it as "Skull Island" in some of their publicity materials. In King Kong, only "Skull Mountain" is named, while in the sequel Son of Kong, its simply referred to as "Kong's island".
The term "Skull Island" is never used in the original films. Denham survives unscathed, while the treasure is claimed by him and the other three survivors. Kong's son drowns while holding Carl Denham above the water. Skull Island sinks into the sea during a powerful earthquake. He also encounters a large white gorilla who is the son of King Kong.

Additionally, 2017's Kong: Skull Island depicts the skeletons of Kong's parents. However, the 2005 remake shows other skeletons of Kong-sized gorillas, indicating that there was once a group of such creatures of an unknown number living on the island. Skull Island's origins are unknown, but Kong appears to be the only giant gorilla known to exist on the island. Kong plays a similar role in these islands as the god-like being of the land, a role he plays in all versions of the King Kong story. Godzilla and the 1967 film King Kong Escapes, the comparable islands are called "Farou Island" and "Mondo Island", respectively.
