Summary
Young DJ Walters has been monitoring the mysterious goings-on at the house across the street for many years. Something is not quite right with the house owned by the reclusive Mr Nebbercracker - the house has a habit of making things disappear! It seems that anything that lands on the old man's lawn is as good as gone.
Determined to find the secret to this ravenous piece of real estate, DJ and his friends Chowder and Jenny hatch a plan to battle what is now deemed the Monster House, only to discover that it's not just things that are starting to vanish, but people are disappearing too. With Halloween approaching, and its attendant hordes of 'trick-or-treaters', the brave threesome decide it's time to go into the house and destroy it once and for all.
As soon as the characters enter the house, it springs malevolently to life: the carpet in the entrance turns into a giant tongue, its floorboards into an open mouth which swallows them whole. Armed with just water guns for protection, DJ, Chowder and Jenny have to confront their fears and beat the house.
The heart of the house is the furnace, and following a series of riddles and tasks, the trio travel through mazes of plaster and pipes. It's not an easy journey, as every room is full of evil creatures bent on protecting the house and making DJ and his pals disappear for good.
The Monster House game allows players to experience key moments of the movie as they explore the house room by room, while also taking on unique adventures that were inspired by the film. With three playable characters, fans of the film will enjoy seeing the movie come to life in their own hands.
