The 15-year-old says he did, and that's good enough for me!

Seriously, there IS a surgery-on-the-Monster scene later in the picture (isn't there?) so I ass-u-me that's what's happening. I'd have to see it again. Funny to think of Frank Reicher's brain being in the Monster in HOUSE OF DRAC and A&CMF.
