Brermeerkat movie spoof of Monster House
Plot Summary
Twelve-year-old Jack Frost spies on his elderly neighbor Lorax, who confiscates any item landing in his yard. Jack Frost's parents leave town for the weekend for a dentists' convention, leaving him in the care of Toothiana "Tooth/Tooth Fairy". Jack Frost best friend Oncie "The Once Ler" loses his basketball on Lorax's lawn. Jack Frost is caught by Lorax while recovering it, who rages at him before apparently suffering a heart attack and being taken away by an ambulance. That night, Jack Frost receives phone calls from Lorax's house with no one on the other end. Jack Frost eavesdrops on Tooth/Tooth Fairy boyfriend Bunnymund, who tells Tooth/Tooth Fairy about losing his kite on Lorax's lawn when he was younger and that Lorax supposedly ate his wife (Nanette). Later, Bunnymund sees his kite in the doorway of Lorax's house, but he and the kite are consumed by the haunted house as he is retrieving it.
The next morning, Merida is selling Halloween chocolates. Jack Frost and The Once Ler see her going to Lorax's house, and they rush out to warn her catching her before she is eaten by the house. Merida calls the police, but police officers Otis and Brer Rabbit do not believe their story.
The trio seek advice from Nicholas "North" Santa Clause, who is claimed to be an expert on the supernatural. They learn that the house is a "Domus Mactabilis" (Latin for "deadly home"); a \rare form of monster created when a human soul merges with a man-made structure. They assume the house is inhabited by Lorax's soul. The only way to kill the house is to destroy its heart; its source of life. They conclude that the heart must be the furnace, as Jack Frost realizes that the chimney has been smoking since Lorax died. The Once Ler provides a cold medicine-filled dummy (made from a vacuum cleaner and some other objects) that should cause the house to sleep long enough for them to douse the furnace. Officers Otis and Brer Rabbit thwart their plan upon arrival and they are arrested when Brer Rabbit finds the cold medicine stolen from The Once Ler's father's pharmacy inside the dummy. The cops place the trio in their car while they examine the house. The dragon eats Otis, Brer Rabbit and the car. Jack Frost, The Once Ler and Merida escape the car but are trapped in the dragon.
The dragon falls asleep and they begin exploring. They fall into the basement and find a collection of toys accumulated from Lorax's lawn, as well as a cage containing the body of Lorax's wife Constance the Giantess encased in cement. The house realizes they are inside and attacks Nanette. Jack Frost, The Once Ler and Merida force the house to vomit them outside by grabbing its uvula. Lorax arrives home alive, revealing that Nanette's spirit is within the house. As a young man, Philoctetes met Nanette, who was an unwilling member of a circus sideshow that hated all children for just about everything they did, and fell in love with her despite her obesity. After helping her escape, she and Philoctetes began building the house. One Halloween, as children tormented her, Nanette tried chasing them away with an axe, but lost her footing and fell to her death in the basement. The cement buried her body. Philoctetes finished the house after Nanette's death, knowing it was what she would have wanted. Aware that Nanette's spirit made the house come alive, Philoctetes tried keeping people away by pretending to hate children.
Jack Frost tells Lorax it is time to let Nanette go, but the Red Death overhears this. Enraged, The Red Death breaks free from its foundation and chases the group to a construction site. Lorax attempts to distract the house so he can throw a dynamite in, but the house notices and attempts to eat him, But The Once Ler fights the house off with an excavator, causing it to fall into a pit. Jack Frost is given the dynamite, and he and Merida climb to the top of a crane while The Once Ler distracts the Red Death. Jack Frost throws the dynamite into the mouth, destroying the Red Death. The trio see Lorax with Nanette's ghost for the last time before she fades away. Jack Frost apologizes to Lorax for the loss of his dragon and wife, but Lorax thanks Jack Frost and the kids for freeing him and Nanette. That night, children in their Halloween costumes are lined up at the site of Lorax's house, where Jack Frost, The Once Ler and Merida help him return the toys to their owners. Merida's parents (Queen Elinor Fergus and The Triplets) pick her up and Jack Frost and The Once Ler go trick-or-treating, which they previously thought they were too old for.
As the credits roll, those who were eaten by the house emerge from the basement. Officer Otis and Officer Brer Rabbit leave to "inspect" some of the trick-or-treating candy, Bunnymund finds that Toothiana is now dating North, and Toothless urinates on a nearby jack-o'-lantern enough to put out its flame.
