"My nose is in my brain" and my heart is in this movie. 

Are you guys mentally inside Monster House? Because if you are, then I'm certified to show you these hilarious memes.

Halloween brings many childhood memories. The group's costumes, and the group fights over such costumes. The unsuccessful trick-or-treating nights, and the ones that took the top three spots. The scares, the planning, and lots and lots of fun. The urban legends surrounding introverted neighbors that got a little cranky around the spooky season. Feels like a perfect tale for a perfect Holiday. Or should I say, almost perfect. A tiny monstrous touch to get to the perfection level. 

One thing is missing to bring all the joy from childhood Halloween back. That is the fever dream that was this movie. It continues to be a whole experience we never thought we needed, but now we can't get enough. I'm not gonna lie to you. When I was a kid and watched this film for the first time, it was absolutely terrifying. I spent a great amount of time back then avoiding any strange-looking houses and being extra kind to angry neighbors, you know, just in case. I really wanted to avoid getting eaten by a disturbing, terrific house. However, I decided to give Monster House a well-deserved rewatch to see what all my fears were really about. To my surprise, not only did I not get scared anymore, but I burst out laughing for most of its running time. My childhood self didn't know, but Monster House is actually a comedic jewel.

  • I finally realized why some of the best memes I use constantly in my group chats are so iconic. Chowder is just a role model for silliness at this point, and Reginald has got to be the most remembered Halloween character in animation history, even though he only appeared in a total of two scenes in this movie. One after the other, each dialogue sequence in this cinematic masterpiece is just top-notch comedy. Who would’ve thought that horror and humor could make such a flawless match?

    That said, underneath the entertainment and the very picturesque characters, there is a story filled with emotion and poetry. My younger self could only focus on the scary-looking house and the horror side of it all, but as a grown adult, I can feel for Nebbercracker. Now, I will not settle for less than such an epic love.

  • Below the silliness, the fun and the unserious look of Monster House, its life lessons hit hard, and Halloween is just the perfect season to revisit them. Lessons surrounding the ups and downs of friendship, the permanent memory of a first love, the sacrifices we make for the people we care about, and the wholesome idea of going on an adventure with your favorite group. Also, the idea that behind every angry neighbor there is a story, and that empathy and understanding will open the doors for unexpected friendships and reconciliations. There is a lot we can take from these unhinged boys. On the other hand, if you’re still looking for a last-minute costume idea, I am giving you the perfect niche, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and unmatched choice to win all the prizes at your next costume contest. People will love your interpretation of the vacuum cleaner dummy.
