They then explore the house, discovering Constance on her honeymoon with Nebbercracker, as well as Nebbercracker’s army days when he was part of a demolition team. Constance then feasts on the police car DJ, Chowder, and Jenny are able to escape from the car, but are then trapped inside the house. The house lures the officers closer and then attacks and eats both of them. However, they end up being arrested by the same police officers they called earlier. Realizing the furnace, which started burning when Nebbercracker was taken to the hospital, is the heart, they concoct a plan to infiltrate the house using a dummy filled with cold medicine that Chowder reluctantly steals from his dad’s pharmacy.
He tells them that what they’re dealing with is Domus Mactibillus, a rare breed of monster that spawns when a human soul possesses and merges with a man-made structure, and to defeat it, they have to go for the heart. The kids then go to Reginald Skullinski, AKA Skull, a rumored expert on the supernatural. Thus, the cops dismiss their claims as well. However, they realize that the house knows better than to come alive when adults are present. It is then that the cops show up DJ, Chowder, and Jenny attempt to tell them about the nature of the house. The house tries to tempt Chowder with his basketball, but DJ and Jenny stop him from taking the bait. Calling the police, the youthful trio approach the house, thinking about the carnage waiting to happen that evening. The three then witness the house consuming a dog, making them realize the house waits for its prey to get close enough before devouring it. Jenny calls her mom about her encounter with the house, but is not believed. Seeing her heading towards the house, they run out to warn her she merely thinks they’re crazy, but when she turns around, she sees the house coming alive. In the morning, DJ and Chowder spot an alluring red-haired girl, Jenny Bennett going around door to door selling Halloween candy. Chowder barely avoids being eaten and he and DJ retreat back to DJ’s house, where they spend the night keeping an eye on the house, though the house remains inactive. Doing so causes the house to awaken its interior suddenly takes on a mouth/throat-like appearance, and the exterior also takes on a more threatening look. The house uses his kite to lure him closer, then devours him.Īccompanying DJ to the house, Chowder disagrees with him about the house being haunted, and proceeds to go up to the house and ring the doorbell to show him there’s nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Bones, the boyfriend of DJ’s babysitter Zee, teases Nebbercracker’s house out of anger over having his kite taken away from him when he was a kid. This further arouses DJ’s suspicions about the house, and he calls Chowder to help him investigate. That evening, she calls DJ on his phone, emitting growling noises. Nebbercracker’s absence causes Constance’s spirit to reawaken, and blame DJ for her husband’s departure.
DJ tries to reclaim it, but Nebbercracker catches him, and while confronting him, he has a heart attack and faints on top of him. When DJ’s best friend Chowder shows up to play basketball with him, his ball ends up on Nebbercracker’s lawn. Realizing this, Nebbercracker spent the next four decades acting like he hated kids as a way of keeping them safe from harm.Ĥ5 years later, Nebbercracker, now in his seventies, has a new neighbor living across from him: 12-year-old DJ Walters, who has been spying on him and observing him chasing away kids and confiscating their things on his front yard. But then, a new problem arose: Constance’s spirit brought the house to life, and began attacking anyone or anything that came close. Knowing Constance would’ve wanted the house to be complete, Nebbercracker did so. Unfortunately, the kids continued to tease her, ultimately causing her to fall into the house’s basement and get buried in cement, killing her. Nebbercracker tried to reassure her that he would do everything in his power to protect her. However, on that day, Constance was harassed by a couple of trick-or-treaters. Then, one Halloween, they began building a house for the two of them on a newly bought piece of land. He offered to take her away from the circus, much to her delight.
Prior to the events of the film, Horace Nebbercracker first met Constance when she was a circus performer and developed feelings for her, feeling bad for her when he saw how much she was abused. As a result, she isn’t very fond of children. Constance is constantly picked on by people, especially kids, because of her obesity.
