Monster House - Opening Scene (Deleted Version)

Okay, first I need to address something. No, this isn't a clone of the opening scene to Monsters Inc. This is something different.

So let me ask you this.

Have you seen a movie called Monster House? If you haven't, I'll give you some details. Monster House is about 3 kids named DJ, Chowder and Jenny who believe that their neighbor Nebbercracker's house is actually a monster.

So they have to try and take down the house.

Let me tell you something, the opening scene to the movie scared me as a kid. Why? It's because the way Nebbercracker yells at the little girl disturbed me, it's also mainly because Nebbercracker's entrance is frightening.

But by 2017, I got over it and I'm not afraid of it anymore.

However, there was a deleted version of the scene I'm mentioning that I came across.

It was a decent night at my house. I was in the shed watching some DVD's on my DVD/VCR combo in which I hooked up to my TV with a VCR.

After a few minutes, I moved on.

When I grabbed my phone, I checked my notifications. They were mostly videos from my good friends on YouTube. I scrolled through the notifications until I saw a Gmail message.

The message came from Sony. It said that they have found a deleted version of the opening scene to Monster House.

I tapped on the email to read the full message.

I later recognized that it was a Google Drive file. The file was named mhdeleted.mp4.

Looking at the letters M and H, I recognized that it was short for Monster House.

So I clicked on the Google Drive file and hit the play button.

The video first started with a warning that said:

"This deleted version of the opening scene to Monster House was later changed due to it being way too dark for younger audiences. It contains blood, gore and disturbing scenes not for the faint of heart. Watch at your own risk!"

Looking at the warning, I felt a bit scared.

The footage started with the close up of an orange leaf as seen in the original version of the movie. It zoomed out like it did. And then the leaf fell from the tree and flew onto the sidewalk.

Listening carefully, I could hear the little girl (a.k.a Eliza) singing. The bike then ran over the pile of leaves as the orange leaf flew into the sky.

The little girl did her usual song. But that wasn't until one of the wheels of her tricycle got trapped by what appeared to be the lawn of Mr Nebbercracker. Eliza looked at the house as one of the leaves landed onto the doorstep as the door could be heard trying to open.

The door then finally opened. But as soon as Mr Nebbercracker came out, things were terrifyingly different. He had black hollow holes around his eyes and his breathing sounded more demonic.

When he got outside, we then saw what he really looked like. As I said, he had black hollow holes for eyes but his mouth, dear lord, his mouth had a very wide bloody smile similar to Jeff The Killer.

Rather than saying "Get off my lawn!" like in the original version, he instead said in a demonic tone, "Hey there little girl, you are about to die!"

Eliza screamed, but her screaming sounded like her actor Ryan Whitney was actually being tortured.

Instead of Eliza trying to ride off the lawn, she instead got up from her bike. Mr Nebbercracker ripped the bike apart like he did in the film.

Nebbercracker kept on chasing the little girl while going the same directions including left and right.

We then see DJ who was doing what looked like homework. Wait a minute, wasn't DJ usually looking through the telescope in the original movie? I shrugged it off and continued watching.

As he was doing homework, he heard the same screams from Eliza. He went over to the window and saw what was going on.

"Oh no! Nebbercracker's gone crazy!" DJ said.

DJ opened the window and said to the little girl, "Hey, little girl, come inside my house if you want to live."

Eliza ran over to the door while DJ ran down to open it.

The door opened and Eliza ran in.

We then see DJ's parents who were confused beyond relief. DJ's mom asked, "DJ, what in the world are you doing?"

DJ responded with, "Mom, Dad, look, Nebbercracker was probably going to kill this little girl, so I'm trying to protect her. Can you believe me for once?"

DJ's dad then said, "Your mother and I have told you many times that Nebbercracker or his house, aren't evil!"

DJ's mom went over to the door while DJ and Eliza backed up to avoid getting killed.

She opened the door, only to get choked by Nebbercracker.

"Help, me!" DJ's mom said while being choked. Everyone in the house watched in shock.

Meanwhile, the little girl and DJ ran up to DJ's room.

When DJ closed the door, he went over to comfort Eliza. "It's okay little girl, I've got you. Try hiding under the bed, I'll try to confront my neighbor."
