Monster House | Film
This is where the transcends its gimmick. The house isn't just a random entity. It is the ghost of Constance "The Giant" Nebbercracker (Kathleen Turner), the late wife of Mr. Nebbercracker.
For 12-year-old DJ Walters, that house is directly across the street. The residence belongs to Horace Nebbercracker (voiced with terrifying gusto by Steve Buscemi), a man who seems to exist solely to confiscate the toys of neighborhood children and scream about trespassing. When DJ’s friend Chowder loses his basketball on Nebbercracker’s lawn, a confrontation ensues that results in the old man seemingly suffering a heart attack. monster house film
