| “ | So, I finished the house. She would've wanted that. She died, but she didn't leave. That night, that... that one night of every year. I had to take precautions, I had to... I had to. She attacks anyone who comes near. | „ |
| ~ Nebbercracker after Constance's death |
Horace Nebbercracker is the overarching protagonist of the 2006 animated horror movie Monster House.
He's an elderly man who often gets wrathful whenever children cross on his house's lawn. However, it is later revealed that behind his wrathful persona lies a good man who has a very good reason why he acts so hostile towards those who cross on his lawn, as it's revealed that his house is possessed by the vengeful spirit of his wife, Constance Nebbercracker.
He was voiced by Steve Buscemi.
