Can you imagine the level of rage in a person to be so angry they possess an entire house?

As I a kid I didn’t like her but no I sympathize with her. She was made fun of for being overweight, basically called a monster and a freak show. Of course she got really mad and then in the end she died as a result of being ridiculed

Constance didn't deserve to die

Wait that Film exists, I thought I just had a nightmare

Despite everything, that old man deserved better, honestly, I get people are all salty about old people being all "get off mah lawn!" But even if his house wasn't haunted by his angry wife, he may have still been mourning and just didn't want any kids to remind him of what happened.

Monster House is such a hidden gem of a movie, I love it so much It's not Halloween in my home without Monster House on the horror playlist

Another foreshadow is when he gets a call from nebbercrackers house that shadow hand that's in his dream has chubby hands

As a kid, and even now, I felt so freaking BAD for constance. she has been called a monster, a freak, and used for profit her ENTIRE life. All those years of being ogled at and taunted, it's no wonder her temper was so terrible. Then Mr. Nevercracker comes along, and falls in love with her. And he openly says that to her, that she was beautiful to him. I just can't imagine that Not being the first time anyone has called her that because of her reaction. Then he takes her away, and promises her a home, love, and a life like any other person, where she and him can be together and live happily away from judgement. That seems to be all she ever wanted. Then those boys came along and egged their barely built home. Now think about it. The home was literally wood sticks, a staircase, and no roof. It wasn't anything special by far, not structurally sound at all. But she threw a temper tantrum over it. But it WASNT a temper tantrum. Honestly, it could be considered noble, considering this was an almost completely trauma induced reaction. I don't remember the quote exactly, but I KNOW she says something along the lines of, "they are ATTACKING OUR HOUSE". She's not selfish, I'll tell you that right now. She's protective. She felt her home and her husband were threatened by these kids. The kids targeted the home exactly how she was targeted in the circus, so no doubt it was like ptsd for her, thus the strong reaction. She's not evil, she's hurt. Every scene we see her with her husband, she either is looking at him with love in her eyes and a smile, or protecting him from what she thinks is danger. He was nothing but loving and kind to her, and she seemed to reciprocate that in the small about ofbscreentime we get of her alive. But even in death, as shown when Mr. Nevercracker is interacting with the house, we see her and him looking at eachother with tender care. This scene in the video is also quite symbolic. A house is a common target for egging, right? She had food thrown at her all her life as an insult. A house protects the people inside it, yes? She died protecting her husband from what she thought was danger. Even the way the house was killed in the end of the movie is similar to the way constance was killed. Constance wasn't selfish. Constance wasn't evil. She was protective and hurt, and she's only been loved by one person in her whole life, and afterlife. All through the movie, she's done nothing but protect the one person who's ever loved her truly. The one who's been kind and true. In the end, that's when her rage takes over and she does chase her husband down with the kids, but that's because she felt betrayed. And I can't blame her much, he's enabled this behavior ever since her death, and it's never been properly corrected and she never got the help she needed. Constance is a truly tragic character, I believe, and while I'm happy she's in a better place now, I'm so sad every time I watch this movie that she was turned into a monster. One thing I do appreciate, is that the last thing we see is not a broken home, or a dead monstrosity. We see her ghost, her TRUE self, smiling and sharing one last touch with the one person she's ever loved, and felt loved by. And we see the good and sensitive part of Nevercracker that was there a long time ago. The man who was caring and heartfelt and sweet, the man who he was before his wife's death caused him to see others in a darker light. They both deserved better. This movie is so much deeper than what's there, and I'm glad people are remembering it Edit: AND SHE WAS LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO WARD OFF DAMAGERS AND TRESPASSERS ON THEIR PROPERTY, FELT LIKE IT HAD TO BE SAID

It makes it even sadder to know how much love he held for her imagine the one you love being constantly tormented and abused by everybody around you

The manner of Constance’s death has always made me raise an eyebrow at this movie. It’s far from being the only kids movie to incorporate death in some way, but death via being buried alive seems a bit much.

That film was my first introduction to the idea that even an antagonist could be someone hurt, unhappy, & trying their best despite a bad situation. The fact that the conflict really wasn’t anyone’s ‘fault’, that all the major characters were acting morally according to what they knew & believed, was kind of an eye-opener for tiny me.

On the dvd menu for this, when you hit play the carpet/tongue shot out at you and dragged you in. Little child me (forgot how old i was at the time) would press play and immediately dive behind a corner or blanket for "safety". I still do it at 20

The flash back scene always made me cry, even now 😢

Movie messed me up when I was like 6

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid and crying at their backstory. I also remember my mom a year later when I saw it on the red box saying that we weren't going to get it and I begged her to and she said it was too scary and I told her I had already seen it and explained the plot line and she finally realized there was another movie and I still don't know the movie she was thinking of but yeah. And no I don't think she got the movie still.

This was the most tragic love story I got to see as a child, I cried so much when those bullies attacked her and her husband just trying to break through the despair of his wife and to top it all out the horrible fate she had to go through 😣

I always felt so bad for this woman.😢

If they ever make a remake of this movie, which I highly doubt, I want to see more flashbacks of Nebbercracker and Constance being together. They're a really sweet couple and it's really bittersweet how things ended.

This movie really made me think man eating houses were gonna be a much bigger problem as a kid.

I remember my ticket stub said Monster Ho when I saw this in theaters

This film is a masterpiece

I always found her death disturbing, imagine falling from a high place and then pounds of cement falling over you (considering it must be very heavy) and you are unable to move or scream, because you are choking on some heavy ass shit, or imagine she survived, but because there wasn't much the docs could do, she later died of dehydration

Imagine this was a live action movie by blumhouse. That would be terrifying tbh in a good way

That shit was a nightmare fuel back in the day 💀

Can we talk about how traumatising this scene was like holy shit-

When i sas a kid no movie scared me like this one it was a gem of time

Theres also a song old song about a guy who loves a woman as big as house “shes exactly like a watermelon, big and round and sweet” Which os how he treats her too :)

The poster is also a reference to “the bigger the figure” by Lois Prima. The whole movie is basically that song

Constance still scares the heck outta me, I used to watch Monster house Every day when I was Little and she was the character that scared me the most-

I haven't watched monster house in YEARS. The horror part scarred me for life as a kid, but back then I still felt bad for Constance because she really had it rough and people were mean to her. But STILL THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AS HELL

This is so heartbreaking and I didn’t even watch this as a kid. This is sad, and this is the reality of everyone who is unattractive, and the reality of fictional characters (female mostly) in animation and fiction

That flew over my head & I’ve seen the movie twice, once as a kid & recently around Halloween 🤣💯

I got this weird thing where "Adult" horror movies don't even phase me, but "kid's" horror takes a while for me to shake off. I mean I only RECENTLY cured my irrational fear of the FNAF characters, and I turned 20 in June. This and Coraline is one such thing, something about her death freaked me out. IDK, just the thought that if the fall didn't kill her, she was probably still quite conscious for... a long damn time. To say nothing about how the kids actually SEE the body.

I felt really sorry for her as a kid, still do. She didn’t deserve to die and she didn’t deserve to be made fun of 💔

When I was young, I saw this as a spooky kids movie and villainized Constance because she was the big scary house trying to eat the kids and their toys. Watching the movie as an adult I see it as a sad love story. I can’t help but empathize with Constance as well as Nebbercracker. He pretty much lost the love of his life two times within his lifetime and she was relentlessly dehumanized for her size.

Tbh I'd love more films like this,

Constance just wanted to live a happy life and be loved 😭

shes genuinely so pretty too :((((

OMG I'm so happy that you are talking about monster house. Used to be my childhood 😭

Honestly it’s sad they loved each other and just wanted to be together.. I remember seeing this movie as a kid in theaters and always thinking it was sad.. she didn’t deserve to die

This movie did not deserve the hate it got, this made my childhood and it is a really good movie

I seriously found this movie by seeing someone showing the movie on discord and im happy i did. I definitely caught this thing and immediately thought of she was the one that made the house alive.

When I was little and saw her backstory Ngl it made me bawl

The amount of nostalgia omg, i never knew this movie actually existed. I thought it was just a fever dream

I was always confused when i saw Constance and Nebbercrackers’ past until now. She never deserved to die and he never deserved to live out his life in constant fear of his wife killing children at any moment in time,especially when it’s Halloween.

Monster House was such a classic to me. I watched it over a hundred times. I consider it better than 90% of current horror movies.

this is my childhood horror movie. I will never forget this movie.

This movie terrified me as a kid but watching it now makes me sad. Its a really good movie and the backstory of constance and nebbercracker is so sweet and tragic

Bro I’ve been trying to remember this movie’s name for months now, thanks!

this scene gives me chills every time its just so good

Their story is so inspiring 😭💖

Monster House is a hidden gem, my friends or people my age barely know about it 💀

An underrated gem

I Feel so bad for Constance's death she was so nice, they were truly in love only for those kids to accidentally kill her, I wish they would get a happy ending where she didnt die

Monster House was like my childhood movie and my favorite. It still is and no other movie can beat it.

She gives a whole meaning to "Iiii got a woman as big as a house, yessir" of Louis Prima's song "The bigger the figure."

As someone who watched Monster House, I actually felt bad for Constance. It’s like if Nebbercracker had a heart for Constance and that Constance had a LOT in her life. She has been abused, been called names like “freak”, “monster”. And it’s like no one didn’t know what was going on. But then after the show, Nebbercracker didn’t want to leave without her and wanted to share his love with her so that she didn’t want to be alone and be abused anymore. But when he took her home, along the with the story of her and Nebbercracker’s, some boys came along and egged her. She showed that she didn’t want to be like that ever since she’s been abused all over again and wanted to kill the boys. Nebbercracker tried to stop her but Constance leaned back on accident because Nebbercracker was trying to stop her from killing the boys. She then pulled the lever and fell.

Maybe it's also a reference to the Bigger the figure "I've got a woman as big as a house yes sir She's as big as a two family house with a porch and a fence"

when I was like 5 or 6 I would BEG my dad to watch this movie, I saw him like twice a year and everytime I would ask him to watch this movie. now I see him alot and we watch horror movies together, times haven't changed over the past 12 years lol

Ah yes, this underrated gem of a Halloween Movie.

Wow that’s really cool I never knew that but monster house is a top five

I never liked this movie. Literally none of the characters except the husband are redeemable in any way. And he gets hurt in the end cause he had to kill his wife

I loved the film so much, hate that they removed the death scene and corpse scene on Netflix streaming. Which removes the explanation to why the house is alive

It made me so happy seeing her feeling love and kindness for the first time, I loved this couple

The only thing I remembered about this movie was the uvula

This film is criminally underrated!

Wait you're telling me that the story he is telling about Constance being the house makes a reference to Constance being the house? NO WAY!

I have so much respect for Nebbercracker. This man was raised right. 💯

it also seems like a refference to louis prima's "the bigger the figure" where the first lyric is "i've got a woman as big as a house, yes sir"

This movie is underrated. Solid animated films and surprisingly nuanced for a children's movie. The design of the house in its monster form is so well crafted and effective. The animating is even more creative. The way the teeth form out of snapped planks, the way the house reassembles herself in such detailed and believable ways. A great deal of effort and passion must have gone into this.

I cried during that scene😭she was so cute😭❤️

Remember watching this and wondering why my remote can't function right 😂

Here’s some Fun facts about the movie: -the director had a wish list of actors he wanted in the movie and all of them said yes -the poster for Constance at the freak show calls her “the woman as big as a house” - the hand in the nightmare sequence is actually Constance’s and judging by it’s bulky look -Mr. Nebbercracker was actually driving the ambulance suggesting he broke out of the hospital to stop Constance before it’s too late

Anybody else just got the movie laying around in your house😂

This movie felt like a fever dream

bro fr said “the local youths” ☠️

Those kids had the nerve to throw eggs at Constance, picking on her, made my blood boil

Just watched it yesterday. Underrated gem.

this movie was so good!!! I loved when Halloween would come around cartoon network always had the best specials for all the holidays back in the 2000s. nothing will ever top it

I wish this movie got a sequel

This was my childhood. Loved this movie

I felt bad for her as a kid, and still do. This show was scary, yes, but I also felt terrible for what happened to her. And felt for the man she was with.

Constance didn’t deserve that . I would be mad if kids were attacking my house too 😂

I think we’ve all felt bad for Constance at least once...besides the fact that she tried to kill kids.(as a house.)

This movie was literally the biggest fever dream of all time

"She did die, but She never left"

This movie changed my life as a kid, it really introduced me to the horror genera 😭💖

This movie literally scared me when i was grade 2 cause our Adviser let us watch a Movie and we chose this not knowing what is it about and of course the teacher thought that it was a little scary cartoon

You gotta love the little details and references

I felt bad once it was revealed how she died and why he was protective of the house.

I love that foreshadowing LOL

“She Died, but she didn’t LEAVE.”

I remember always being sad for her. Still am, I’d probably still get emotional looking at the heart wrenching scenes between them.

this is the best childhood movie ever

this was the first “scary” movie i ever watched as a kid and it absolutely terrified me. i think it definitely had something to do with some of the oddly realistic plot points, like the old man having a heart attack and the whole concept of the woman dying who ended up possessing the house. i really should get it another watch now as an adult who really enjoys horror to see what i think of it (although i think the scariest thing to me now would probably be the eerie animation)

iv been trying to remember this movie for so long thanks

Ah my childhood favourite movie that i repeated so much that i remember it so clearly till this day

"She's a brick house! She's mighty mighty just letting it all hang out" Sorry I had too

Funfact Katleen Turner was the voice of Constance

This is that one kind of movie that you were sure that you watched and still remember the plot but can't point out its name.
