English is bent to our will in daily life and yet people act like God wrote the law on how to speak English and we’re all committing sins of biblical proportions.
No. You know what ? “Me and Mark” is perfectly okay because you understood exactly what the sentence meant. That’s the purpose of language.
Several counter-points:

Seeing as there is very clear paternal symbolism throughout, and even internal dialog of the minster monster referring to the “doctor” as his father, I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume the minster monster took the same surname.
There’s no way the monster would take Frankenstein’s surname. He hated him.
I read that as minister and not monster and was very confused. I thought I must have missed a reference to a different movie.
