Oh cool, the alternate ending of George Romero's underrated Monkey Shines has finally been found.

Seriously, how do you fail to shut doors in a bio-lab that experiments on animals, especially a species that can open doors? What kind of…monkey business is going on over there? They had to know that experimenting on them would cause them to…go bananas.

…I'll get my coat.
