Stephen King is at all times pleased to make his emotions clear in relation to diversifications of his work — whether or not the creator likes them or he does not.
The most recent film within the horror grasp’s ideas is Longlegs director Osgood Perkins’ upcoming adaptation of The Monkey, produced by Noticed’s James Wan and starring The Gents‘s Theo James. The movie, which centres on a creepy cymbal-banging monkey toy related to grotesque deaths, makes use of King’s 1980 quick story for its inspiration.
The decision, which the creator posted not too long ago on Threads? Properly, it actually sound just like the movie made an influence.

“You’ve never seen anything like THE MONKEY. It’s batshit insane,” wrote King. “As someone who has indulged in batshittery from time to time, I say that with admiration.”
That sounds…good, proper? It is actually in line with the tone of the film’s teaser, too. As to the place it’ll land on our complete record of one of the best Stephen King diversifications? Time will inform.
