I'm not sure what state of mind Stephen King was in when he wrote his short story The Monkey and had it published in 1980 before it became part of his 1985 collection, Skeleton Crew, but I'm willing to bet - despite his storied history of substance use - that it was less fucked up than Osgood Perkins' when he wrote this screenplay adaptation of it.

A 200 million dollar, original property blockbuster, written and directed by one of the most reliable names in Hollywood, Christopher Nolan.
