Jenny calls the police, but the cops Landers and Lester do not believe their story, and the house is inactive when adults are present. The trio seek advice from Reginald "Skull" Skulinski, who is claimed to be an expert on the supernatural. They learn the house is a "Domus Mactabilis" (Latin for "deadly home"); a rare form of monster created when a human soul merges with a man-made structure. The only way to kill the house is to destroy its heart; its source of life.
Running Time:
Suddenly, Constance disarmed him and ultimately lost her ability to reasoning, as she has succumbed to her murderous instinct to kill. From adulthood, Nebbercracker was a rather caring and understanding person, looking passed the overweight appearance of Constance who was treated as sideshow attraction; to the point of even falling in love with her and taking her from her former life. He soon found a place where the two of them could build a life for themselves, where he also built his house. DJ is shown to be very good at climbing in the GameBoy Advance version of the game. While exploring the second floor, he finds Jenny trapped in an air vent, and tries to free her, to no avail.
Constance's Reawakening
Nebbercracker was at first furious after he had discovered the truth, but eventually relents and tells them both his and Constance's story. As he is away recovering in the hospital, his wife in the house becomes more active and aggressive, especially anyone that trespasses the lawn. The kids wrongly assumed that the house is possessed by Mr. Nebbercracker. As the kids managed to escape the house, Horace woke up from the hospital and stole an ambulance to hurry back to his home in fear that his wife may become aggressive. He almost crashed into DJ, who is returning home after his disappointment of destroying the house's heart.
This movie provides examples of:
Using the crane, DJ throws the dynamite down the chimney and into the furnace. DJ swings down and grabs Chowder, and the two take cover in a ditch while the house explodes. When Zee's boyfriend Bones later pays a visit, he recalls the time Nebbercracker stole his kite, as well as relating rumors of him cannibalizing his wife. After Zee kicks him out, Bones notices his kite in the front door of Nebbercracker's house, tries to retrieve it and is abducted.

Film
The house remains still until morning, though DJ and Chowder continue to watch it from DJ’s room for hours even with Zee’s interference and resort to peeing in bottles, so they won’t miss any of the possessed house’s activities. Both the boys are horrified by this, believing that Nebbercracker had died. They are unaware that they have unleashed terror on their housing complex.
Video Games
After Zee and Bones left downstairs, DJ called Chowder and told him to meet him at the Danger Zone. DJ quietly walked downstairs and went out the back door while Zee and Bones were in the living room. Bones tells Zee about losing his kite the Awesome Kite on Mr. Nebbercracker's lawn when he was younger, and that Mr. Nebbercracker supposedly ate his wife. Later Bones sees his kite in the doorway (the mouth) of Mr. Nebbercracker's house, but he and the kite are med by the haunted house as he is retrieving it. He found Chowder on the backhoe and tolds him that Mr. Nebbercracker had come back from the dead to get revenge.
Death Date
DJ is caught by Nebbercracker while recovering it who rages at him before suffering a heart attack from overexerting himself and being taken away by an ambulance. His house's furnace mysteriously heats up, and DJ picks up a cage key that Nebbercracker dropped. That night, DJ receives phone calls from Nebbercracker's house with no one on the other end.
His love for her led him to rescue Constance from the circus, and he also bought a plot of land to build their new house. However, she was still bullied by kids on the day of Halloween while the house was under construction. Horace attempted to calm his wife down, claiming that they are kids, but their constant bullying led her to a frenzy which made her grab the axe Horace was using and possibly attack the children with it. The next morning, they observe a red-haired girl, Jenny, selling Halloween candy before going towards Nebbercracker's house, and attempt to warn her. She doesn't heed their warnings and turns toward the house, which has now woken up and attempts to eat her.
Story by
At the site of Nebbercracker's house, DJ, Chowder, and Jenny help Nebbercracker return the items he took from kids back to their owners. Shortly afterwards, Jenny's mom comes to pick her up; she tells DJ and Chowder that she hopes to see them again soon and hugs them both before leaving. After meeting up with DJ's parents, who have just returned home, DJ and Chowder both acknowledge that they're certainly too old for trick-or-treating. But they decide to do it just for fun, considering everything they've been through recently. Monster House is a 2006 American animated supernatural horror comedy film[3] directed by Gil Kenan in his directorial debut and written by Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab and Pamela Pettler.
Aware that Constance's spirit made the house come alive, Nebbercracker tried keeping people away by pretending to hate children. Set in October of 1997, a little girl named Eliza rides her tricycle around the neighborhood, singing along, but she hits the lawn, and it gets stuck. Just then, Horace Nebbercracker snaps at her and takes the tricycle and removes the wheel to tempt her to go away. A 12-year-old boy DJ Walters spies on his elderly neighbor Mr. Nebbercracker who confiscates any item landing in his yard.
The film was shot using performance capture in which the actors performed the characters' movement while linked to sensors, a process which was pioneered by Robert Zemeckis. A stereoscopic 3-D version of the film was created and had a limited special release in digital 3-D stereo along with the "flat" version. It was released in approximately 200 theaters equipped for new RealD Cinema digital 3-D stereoscopic projection. Since the original source material was "built" in virtual 3-D, it created a very rich stereoscopic environment.
Chowder fights the house off with a back hoe, causing it to fall into a pit. DJ throws a stick of dynamite down the house's chimney, destroying it and setting Constance's spirit free. DJ tells Nebbercracker that he is sorry that the old man has lost his house and his wife but Nebbercracker thanks the boy for finally releasing his wife's trapped spirit. DJ, Chowder, and Jenny then fall into the basement and find an enormous collection of toys accumulated from Nebbercracker's lawn, as well as a locked cage that DJ opens with a key he found on the lawn. They find the body of Constance the Giantess, Nebbercracker's wife, encased in cement. They begin to find out why Nebbercracker did this to his wife until DJ accidentally falls onto the body and screams in terror as it cracks open to reveal a skeleton.
