They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs.

“Wild Horny Sugar Junky Cinephile Monkeys”
A little long, but seems like a great band name.

How about, “Macaque Amok!” or “Macaque Attack!”

All that’s missing is the cinema showing Werner Herzog’s “Nosferatu” on loop for this to be perfect. Wonder if Herr Director would allow a reshoot of the classic “Feast for the Dying” scene with monkeys?

Please don’t taunt the dynamite monkeys.
Nearby, a shop owner displays stuffed tiger and crocodile toys to try to scare off the monkeys, who regularly snatch spray-paint cans from his store.
Wait, they’re tagging now??

This was the plot of Gremlins 2 (though of course the movie theater scene was in the first movie).
Dead monkeys are laid to rest by their peers in the projection room in the cinema’s rear and any human who enters is attacked.
Here we see evolution in action, as this primate species develops burial rituals (in David Attenborough’s voice)
