Why a Stephen King horror teaser trailer has been denied permission to be aired on TV in 'leaked' emails by the producers

The Monkey, a Stephen King adaptation, features a trailer so violent that TV networks refused to air it. Read on to learn more about it.

The Monkey, Osgood Perkins's highly-anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's short story, is being released soon, and King shared his thoughts.

Now, King has given his blessing to an upcoming film he has branded 'b*****t insane'. Taking to social media, the veteran author penned: "You've never seen anything like The Monkey. It's b*****t insane. As someone who has indulged in b*********y from time to time, I say that with admiration."

Horror author Stephen King, whose spine-chilling tales have been adapted into numerous films and TV series, has given his seal of approval to an 'insane' new film that's been dubbed 'sadistic' by early viewers.

Stephen King's short story is coming to the big screen and its trailer has already set an incredible independent record.
