5. Monster House (2006)





There are many animated films that have been aired in theaters, it seems that no one has specifically raised the theme of horror as the core of the story. Many film producers assume, such themes are less suitable for the imagination of children who are still innocent. But Monster House seems to answer the "challenge" and still offers horror stories of Halloween night aimed at viewers aged 8 and under.

Talk about a group of teenagers who play in front of a haunted house. There are frightening rumors about the house, but that does not dampen children's intentions to explore it. Their curiosity turns into horror when they learn that the house is breathing, living, and can eat whatever is in front of the house.

It is said that the house has been possessed by the soul of the dead people. Now, the three teenagers had to uncover the truth of the house's past, and aim for the heart of the house to kill it.
