‘X-Files’ Fans, You’ve Already Seen Stephen King’s ‘The Monkey’

The release of The Monkey marks a continuation of Stephen King’s long and weird film career. Directed by Osgood Perkins, the film reaches far back into King’s past for material, now joining the ranks of other King adaptations like Carrie, The Running Man, and The Shining. However, as it turns out, Perkins isn’t the first to bring this supposedly untouched short story to life. Kudos to you X-File fanatics who recall the episode “Chinga” in 1998, which used this same plot.
