In Columbia Pictures’ animated comedy/thriller Monster House, three kids (newcomers Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner and Spencer Locke) cross over to the other side of the street to unlock a mystery and experience the greatest adventure of their lives.
The story begins with twelve-year-old DJ Walters, who is convinced that there’s something weird about old man Nebbercracker’s house across the street. Things keep disappearing into the dilapidated structure: basketballs, tricycles, toys and pets. Come to think of it, whatever happened to Mrs. Nebbercracker?
On the day before Halloween, DJ and his candy-friendly pal Chowder have a run-in with Mr. Nebbercracker after their basketball wanders onto his lawn and is mysteriously swept into the house. Then, the house tries to swallow their new friend Jenny, but no one will believe the frightened friends' claims that the house is up to no good.
The three kids resolve to investigate the dangerous matter on their own. Can they unlock the secrets of the old house and make the street safe again for trick-or-treaters, before it's too late?
