Stephen Kings short story The Monkey was first published in 1980 and later included in the 1985 collectionSkeleton Crew.
The titular threat follows Hal throughout his unfortunate life.
The first, a short film by director Spencer Sherry, premiered in May 2023.
However,The Monkeys similarity totheFinal Destinationmoviesmight not be good news for the existing series.
The central gimmick is that their deaths come about as apparent accidents.
Some are shockingly abrupt, like an infamously sudden bus impact, while others are hilariously elaborate.
Admittedly, these are due to death itself in theFinal Destinationmovies and the titular toy inThe Monkey.
As such, the series had a lot of time to build up hype.
The Monkeypromises to be an altogether goofier movie.
As such,The Monkeys Stephen King adaptation wont necessarily imperil the success ofFinal Destination’s reboot.
