THE MONKEY MERCH
"A refreshing twist on the cursed, murderous object trope"
Osgood Perkins
“It became this almost absurd quality of the monkey that it doesn’t really do anything. People die all the time. In fact, everybody dies sooner or later, one way or another, and sometimes it’s totally normal and natural and sometimes it’s totally terrible and crazy. So, I sort of took from there and said, ‘What if the monkey is kind of just there?’ Of course it’s causing these things to happen, but I leaned into the universal concept of everybody dies, it’s just a question of when.”
