At the foot of the hall lies the beast, and she’s huge ! O’Keefe taps the remote on his belt to bring up the missing section of flooring, then walks down the hall to have a closer look at Striper in her natural form.

It gives her the character of something out of a nightmare, a very primal, violent nightmare.
