When I was growing up, there was a wind-up monkey that played the drums with buggy eyes and a haunting smile, and he was scary AF. So, my dad would wind him up all the time when I was sleeping and leave it on my bed to watch me get scared. Then he would laugh and laugh.
I have a feeling that Osgood Perkins’ father, Anthony Perkins, did something like to his son with Psycho.
Because why else would he turn Stephen King’s short story, The Monkey, into such a terrifying tale? But he did, and it will be hitting theaters on February 21st.
Are you going to see it? I won’t! I finally got that evil monkey out of my nightmares. I don’t want him back.
