Shocking Deaths Revealed: Who Really Dies in The Monkey’s Terrifying Ending?

by

The movie “The Monkey,” directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), hit US theaters on February 21, 2025. People are curious about the plot and who meets their untimely end in the film. Based on Stephen King’s short story of the same name, the story revolves around twin brothers Hal and Bill (played by Theo James). Both boys were deeply affected by their past traumatic experiences, and they encounter the source of their fear, a monkey that plays the drums, much later in life.

Here is everything that happens at the end of The Monkey.

What happened at the end of The Monkey?

From a young age, it’s clear that the twins, Hal and Bill, have starkly contrasting personalities. Hal is gentle and timid, while Bill seems harsh and unkind. Their relationship during childhood was anything but harmonious. Hal endured severe bullying at the hands of his twin. Later, after discovering that a toy monkey could cause harm to people, Hal attempted to use it to eliminate Bill, tragically resulting in their mother Lois’s death instead.

In due course, Bill uncovers that his twin brother was behind Lois’ demise and devises a plan for retribution. With the aid of a local youth named Ricky, he manages to secure the monkey once more and entices Hal back to town. Upon Hal’s arrival with his distant son Petey, Bill attempts to kill him using the monkey; however, as the film repeatedly emphasizes, this seemingly cursed artifact does not always grant wishes. Instead, it triggers a disaster that results in the deaths of numerous people surrounding the twins.

In the end, Hal clashes with Bill, yet they make up before long. However, Bill meets a grisly demise shortly after. As the film concludes, Hal witnesses someone on a ghostly horse, suggesting perhaps Death or the Pale Horseman from biblical lore. The father and son manage to repair their bond and depart from town. Bill chooses to keep the monkey, but as they exit, some cheerleaders meet a tragic end, hinting that the monkey’s influence remains strong.

Everyone who dies in The Monkey’s gruesome ending

In The Monkey, a significant number of characters meet their demise. Notable among them are Lois, the babysitter for Bill and Hal, Aunt Ida and Uncle Chip of the twins, Ricky, and Bill himself. While the film isn’t definitive on the matter, it’s plausible that the twins’ father, who vanishes at the beginning of the movie, could have also perished due to the monkey.
