CLASSIC HORROR. Adapted from the short story by W. W. Jacobs. The White family is transformed into a family plagued with only death and misery after a family friend, Sergeant-Major Morris, gives them a mummified monkey’s paw that will grant them three wishes. The Sergeant obtained the monkey’s paw in India from a mystic, who placed a spell on the paw to show that fate governs people’s lives. He warns the Whites that the monkey’s paw brings only suffering to those who use it.
