    I remember reading this in high school. I don’t know who was worse... one of the smartest students in the class saying it was the monkey at the door or the teacher asking “what monkey”.

    Hi WSKG Public Media! We're working on a video essay about the origin of the "monkey paw" trope and how it works (or rather doesn't quite work) in the most recent Wonder Woman movie.
    We were wondering if we could use your video of this performance in ours when we talk about the origin of the phrase "monkey paw"? Happy to link out to this video in our description - let us know!

      GalenNight there were A few movies made with the name "" The Monkey's Paw "" but the first was the good one. the couple wished there son back alive he was killed by the war. the movie was good they belt it up as he knocked at the door they wished him away. it was more then that.but it was the only one that was scary. the rest movies on the Paw, were not very g00d

      Me too. Saw this in film format in jr high like 45 years ago. Nightmares for weeks imagining what was at the door. (the film had some moaning and lightning to build the tension) lol. those were the days. After too many modern horror movies, a few years in Afghanistan, a few car accidents, too much time wasted on gore websites ala watchpeopledie etc, the only thing that could keep me up at night now is my overactive bladder...

    Some Ways I Think The Movie Connects With The Story Is When The Father Makes A Mistake In Chess In The Beginning, Herbert Dies So An Employee Gives His Parents Money Via Wish, And How When Herbert's Parents Wish Herbert Alive And There Is Continuous Knocking On The Door. A Way The Movie Is Different From The Story Is That In The Movie Herbert's Parents Wish For Money In Dollars And In The Story They Wish For Money In Pounds.
