The Monster House allows players to experience key moments of the movie as they explore the creepy house room by room. With three playable characters (voiced by the stars from the film), fans will take on adventures inspired by the movie and use upgradeable water blasters, as well as each character's unique weapon, to battle nightmarish creatures created from the house and its demented objects.
