"Bones" is Zee's boyfriend, and the secondary antagonist in Monster House.

Role in the Film:[]

After discovering that he's getting phone calls from Nebbercracker's house with nobody on the other end, DJ is frightened by Bones who is wearing Chowder's discarded mask, along with Zee, who promptly introduces him to DJ and lectures him about being up late. 

DJ explains to them about what happened with Nebbercracker earlier, but they dismiss his claims. Bones slightly rips DJ's bunny doll to tease him further, inducing Zee to make him knock it off. As DJ sneaks out of the house to meet up with Chowder, he overhears Zee and Bones talking, with Zee stating that maybe DJ was telling the truth about Nebbercracker dying; Bones promptly tells her about, the loss of his "awesome kite" to Nebbercracker when he was ten years old, and that he saw Nebbercracker talking to his house and kissing it. He then tells her that Nebbercracker supposedly ate his wife and roughhouses with Zee. Fed up with Bones being rough with her, Zee kicks him out. 

Bones then goes over to Nebbercracker's house, and throws a bottle at Nebbercracker in spite, but gets no response. Now convinced the man really is dead, he goes a drunken rant tearing up the lawn, still resentful about his favourite kite. In response the house shows him his ''awesome kite,'' using it as bait. Bones happily approaches the kite, too drunk to catch any obvious red flags. He is then eaten by the house. 

At the end of the film, after the house is defeated by DJ, Chowder, and Jenny, Bones emerges from the remains of the house with his kite, and during the credits, he finds Zee, who has since started dating Skull, finding him to be more respectful. However, Bones didn't care and walked away, althrough Zee ended up calling for him, implying it may of been just a test to see how he'd react.
