Mr. Walters
for Mr. Walters in Monster House
Suggested by movienerd1000
A live action remake of the animated movie from 2006. I found an early draft script of the original movie online and there were parts that they did not add in the final cut, but should have: like seeing the actual "heart" of the house, which is the furnace with the brick wall behind it pulsating like actual heartbeats. In the 1980's, a crazy old hermit supposedly dies of a heart attack while yelling at a boy for accidentally skidding across his lawn. Since then, the boy, DJ, has been noticing strange things happening at the old man's house: like moaning sounds coming from inside, and the outside structure actually MOVING from time to time. And when DJ's friend, Chowder, rings the doorbell, the house itself turns into a monster and attacks, but always returns to normal when grownups are coming. As Halloween approaches, DJ and Chowder, and their new friend, Jenny, devise a plan to take down the monster house, and save the neighborhood. It will have the humor and heart of the old movie, and the scary intensity of Stranger Things.
