Wow, Frank Darabont to direct this for television! This is another of those really scary short stories that stayed in my head for weeks - sometimes in bed I thought I could even hear the monkey banging it's cymbals in the dark...Frank Darabont is one of the finest directors around and always does complete justice to his Stephen King adaptions. Can't wait for this!!!

I love this short story and saw on wikipedia, whether it's true or not that Frank Daramont will direct this after Fienheid 911 and the long walk (another Stephen King Richard Backmen book), he is the director of The Shawshank Redeption, The Green Mile and The Mist, the monkey is in my top ten short story's by stephen king not including Novellas. The Monkey, The Children of the Corn, The Ledge, Quitters, Inc, 1408, The Night Flier, Popsy, Suffer the Little Children, Rainy Season, and One for the Road
