Stephen King's short story is coming to the big screen and its trailer has already set an incredible independent record.

The second trailer for The Monkey has debuted. The upcoming comedy horror movie directed by Longlegs' Osgood Perkins is based on "The Monkey," a short story by Stephen King, which revolves around a cursed toy monkey responsible for a slew of terrifying murders.

Horror author Stephen King, whose spine-chilling tales have been adapted into numerous films and TV series, has given his seal of approval to an 'insane' new film that's been dubbed 'sadistic' by early viewers.
