A common trend in Stephen King's stories I'd like to see in this movie


In most SK's stories and probably one of the biggest clichés are the bullies. In most of these stories, the bullies eventually become asshole victims from the antagonists or monsters when they kill them off.

I really hope this movie has bullies in it and the monkey kills them off in a cool way. I'm already sold on the Final Destination style deaths. I love those movies! Since we get flashbacks of some of the adults in the movie, just like in IT (even in the trailer, one of the twin brothers call the other one and informs him "it's back") I wonder if there's some flashback where the twins are bullied in school as kids and they use the money to kill them. Anyone read the short story from 1980 and is it any good?

In the early '60s my brother and I had a toy chimp on roller skates. It had a wire from its back to a hand-held control with a couple of batteries in it. I never liked playing with that thing. It gave me the creeps for some reason.
