The Monkey's Paw is one of those stories that is used time and time again as a basis for tv show plots all the time-- even The Simpsons (seen above, obviously) have gone down the monkey paw path (in one of the best takes on the story). "Be careful what you wish for" basically emerged from this story and has influenced everything to almost every episode of The Twilight Zone to the endings of Twisted Metal. All that influence though, and I'll bet few of you have read the actual story. Why not spend some time this glorious Sunday and change that? Hit the jump for a link to The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs.Read The Monkey's Paw here!
