After some convincing, Jenny, DJ and Chowder decide to get inside the sapient house no matter the circumstances to unveil the mystery on Halloween night. He's a chubby guy with an immature, cowardly streak and less intelligence than DJ, but means well. Chowder visits DJ a day before the main plot kicks in, and he, DJ and Jenny decide to get inside the sapient house no matter the circumstances to unveil the mystery on Halloween night. Nebbercracker, when he was younger, was a member of a demolition squad in the US Army.

Storyline
When awakened or disturbed, her mouth shows small wooden plank-like teeth framed by the door. The house overhears him, breaks free of its foundations and chases Nebbercracker and the children to a construction site. 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. One day, when Chowder accidentally had his basketball accidentally flew onto Nebbercracker's lawn and prompt DJ to immediately bring it back, Nebbercracker ambushes and storms towards him. DJ tries to calm him down, but this hasn't changed Nebbercracker's mind to scare him further.
Main characters
There, they also discovered what appeared to be Constance's carriage that DJ opened with a key that he found back when Nebbercracker's body was taken away by medics. When they entered it, they discovered Constance's corpse which was covered by a cement layer. Around her dead body, they found some flowers and photos that people would normally place on the grave of their loved ones. The police officers, however, were not the sole target, as they had the trees grab the police car and devour it into its mouth inside along with the kids. The kids managed to escape but are trapped inside the house as they witness the house’s interior revert back to normal.

“Monster House” is unpretentious, smartly written (by Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab and Pamela Pettler) and a lot of fun. One of the spooky archetypes of childhood imagination — the dark, mysterious house across the street — is literally brought to life in “Monster House,” a marvelously creepy animated feature directed by Gil Kenan. The day before Halloween, DJ Walters' parents go off to a convention, leaving him in the care of a babysitter named Elizabeth, who prefers to be called Zee. Zee has no interest in looking after DJ, preferring instead to spend time with her boyfriend Bones. Two cops who appear to DJ, Chowder and Jenny when they call the police to help deal with the house. They, much like other people, do not appear to believe the boys at all, but are simply doing their job to make sure they don't get hurt.
As the movie ends, all the people who had been eaten by the house come out of its basement. 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. The plot revolves around a neighborhood being terrorized by a sentient haunted house during Halloween.
Despite how he appeared to the neighborhood in present time, Nebbercracker does love children, realizing none of them had malicious intent, instead having fun on Halloween. To this end, he even protected some children from his wife who tried attacking them with an axe, however, this ended up costing the life of his wife. Whilst managing to calm the house down, Nebbercracker laments over the fact that he has failed to keep his wife's wrath from hurting others and turning her into what she is now a true monster.
DJ and Chowder see her approaching Nebbercracker's house and rush to warn her not to go near the dangerous building. When the house fails to do anything, the police officers conclude that the children were just playing a prank on them and leave. Nebbercracker is first seen yelling at a little girl who accidentally ended up on his lawn while riding her tricycle. As he carries the tricycle back to his house, he notices DJ spying on him from his bedroom window.
When Bones leaves for home, he sees the kite which he lost long ago in the doorway of Nebbercracker's house. Nebbercracker fell in love with Constance when he first met her at the circus. After her death and her spirit takes control of the house he built for her, he pretends to have her attitude towards kids just so they won't harass her, leading to her attacking and/or killing them.
They manage to formulate a plan where Chowder will lure the house under a crane so that the two can drop the stick of dynamite down its chimney which leads to the heart. This plan is stalled, however, when the house is dragged down the hill and it breaks apart as a result, leading to the heroes celebrating their apparent victory. This celebration is short-lived, however, as Constance's control over the house is still intact and she manages to reform it from its broken remains, resulting in a more horrific and monstrous form that proceeds to devour the excavator before chasing Chowder.
Before they could drive away, however, the house makes a groaning sound to lure the two cops closer. Oblivious to what has lured them, the two officers decided to investigate the house against the kids’ wishes. Officer Landers notices that something seems not right as the other one is suddenly driven away by the tree’s roots.
She has a red elongated carpet for a tongue, a chandelier resembling a uvula, and a green throat which is an opened pit with sharp wooden blades circling around. After taking possession of the house, Constance's physical appearance is shaped like a head; the hair is made of black trapezoid roof tiles with the chimney placed on the right side where the heart is, although the location of the furnace is yet unknown. Her eyes are windows of different shapes, her left eye is square and her right eye is arch. The lower part of her face has the same wider roof and a platform where the door should be.
Outside the house, the children are amazed to see Mr. Nebbercracker alive, returning from hospital with his arm in a sling. Nebbercracker tells them that the house is possessed by the spirit of the obese woman that they found in the basement, his late wife Constance, known as Constance the Giantess. Nebbercracker tells them that, against her wishes, Constance used to work in a circus sideshow. One Halloween, while she was working on the house, some children tormented Constance because of her size.
Believing a hidden truth to the sapient house, DJ convinces his best friend Chowder and new friend Jenny to explore inside it no matter the circumstances to unveil the mystery on Halloween night. 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. And Chowder later investigate and learn that the house is possessed by a poltergeist. On Halloween, they save Jennifer "Jenny" Bennett, who is selling candy, from the house.
Aware that the old man cannot do that forever, DJ convinces Nebbercracker to put her out of her misery as this is the better way. Therefore, Constance has suffered too long and despite his benevolent intentions to keep the children away from the house, it won't improve either of their lives, which didn't help by her meant to pass on to the afterlife long ago. Having overheard the conversation and witnessing her husband holding another's hand, Constance becomes consumed with rage and goes berserk and tears the house free from its foundations and begins to chase her husband and the kids via arms/feet made of trees on the property. The four of them run in terror, going down an alleyway where Nebbercracker is forced to stay behind due to his old age preventing him from keeping up and encouraging the kids to go on without him. The house continues to chase down DJ and his friends until they were near a construction site, where, for the safety of the children, Nebbercracker throws a stone brick at his house and stands up against Constance, revealing his non-child-hating ways in the process. The kids then resume the investigation when suddenly, the floor below them opened, sending them to the basement where Nebbercracker kept the stolen toys from the children.
