Sometimes They Come Back for More: The Monkey Expanded
Added 2025-02-25 17:55:31 +0000 UTCSometimes They Come Back for More is a new feature of The Barrens that allows the Losers to expand upon recent or prior topics. This week? The gang has more to say about Osgood Perkins' The Monkey, particularly how it relates (or doesn't) to Stephen King's original short story.

Good discussion! Wanted to point out that the babysitter in the short story is named Beulah, which was the name of King's babysitter that he talks about in On Writing. I find that pretty hilarious! (The movie didn't keep that name, unfortunately.)
