The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs Ghost Story Short Film 1988 REMASTERED

[@mozzie2729]

I personally like this adaptation, it feels more like an actual movie rather than a drama play. And it captures the horror of The Monkey's Paw so well.

Looks and sounds much better - well done!

Bro it takes longer to watch this than it would be to just read it.

The older lead male, is this the same actor who was the headmaster in The Wall?

[@michaelwesley1937]

Yep..

[@user-gy8co5qy2z]

Yes! I just made a post about it, too😂

[@BABYWOLF--1966]

I think that the man with the moustache could be the teacher in the 1979 video of pink Floyd's ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL??🤔🤔

[@MichaelLevine-n6y]

Yes.

I read yhis in 6th grade it was always a favorite story of mine

[@user-gy8co5qy2z]

I don’t know if anyone is going to read this, but isn't the dad the same actor that plays the schoolmaster in Pink Floyd's The Wall?

[@MichaelLevine-n6y]

AH! He seemed familiar but I could not place him. I believe you are right.

[@BABYWOLF--1966]

Be careful what you wish for

What would 200 pounds be worth in USD in 1902?

Morris reminds me of Rowan Atkinson

[@redblade8160]

So what happened at the end?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Saddle blade

[@soslothful]

It is not clear in this version, but in the original story the father wished Herbert dead again. Herbert had been mangled in the factory machinery and had 12 days of decomposition. Something his mother would not like to have seen.

[@10191927]

@@soslothful- The irony being that the only sensible thing the father wished for was his son to be dead and at peace.

Wishes are real but there not magic there just wishes and it's a trinket

Within the tale the paw is a magical device.

[@homounsapiens1287]

The story is pure garbage, badly written and the plot even a stoned up high schooler could've done better, When I read this piece I was annoyed: HOW does this even deserved the life of a tree to be printed?

[@eric0380]

Harsh words for someone who doesn't respect the message of the tale

[@MichaelLevine-n6y]

Specifically what fault do you find in the tale? What better story do you offer?
