added some more highly demanded stickers and prints. ships from the uk; international shipping is available!
went ahead and digitised the sticker that was included on the monkey enamel pin backing card! you can get it on redbubble here!
the unreleased spectral tilt song i mentioned in my movie trivia list (the song is named in the ending credits, if anyone caught it let me know!). strangely, this needledrop seems to be exclusive to the digital version of the film since there is no musical backing to the theatrical version of this scene.
need to be employed to write the monkey imdb trivia page because there’s so many fun little details i can list comprehensively.
for example:
- the pawn shop owner in the opening is played by shafin karim, who also starred in longlegs as the doctor who didn’t check ids at carrie anne’s clinic
- oz perkins narrates the sex ed clip in the 1999 sequence
- when aunt ida falls into the boxes below the basement steps, one of them is labelled ‘bear traps’, likely a nod to saw 2004 since james wan produced the film
- during the same scene, when aunt ida turns on the lights in the basement, you can see the monkey illuminated for a split second in the corner
- the young twins sequence was originally meant to be set in the 70s, which is why some of bill’s lines sound anachronistic (i.e. “i was gonna marry that girl.”)
- spectral tilt, the band that composed the original song ‘water’ for longlegs, have a new song included in this movie that plays during the ending credits. it’s not on music platforms yet sadly
- there’s a deleted scene where a scorpion climbs into young bill’s hot chocolate mug and hal manages to toss it out just in time. you can spot some of it in the redband trailer
- the twins are deliberately backlit with inverted colours- bill with cooler colours and hal with warmer tones. when the come together in the end, the colours start to converge and bill starts to be lit with mostly warm light
- the line “the monkey that likes killing our family. it’s back” was recorded by theo james for the trailer only
- according to oz perkins, the pale rider in the ending acknowledges hal with mild annoyance because the personification of death is exhausted and “the monkey has him working overtime”
