Based on a short story from Stephen King’s ‘Skeleton Crew’

In the brief video, a snare drum apparently played by a toy monkey is suddenly splattered in blood, as is James. Carnival-style music accompanies the footage.

Osgood Perkins wrote and directed The Monkey, which is based on the Stephen King short story of the same name that was initially published in 1980. Dave Caplan, Michael Clear, Chris Ferguson, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and James Wan serve as producers.

Perkins is riding the success of Longlegs, the genre film starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage that hit theaters last month and has surpassed Parasite as Neon’s highest-grossing title ever. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote Longlegs, Perkins said that The Monkey will be far more comedic than any of his previous work.
