(Crossover concept/outline) Anyone Remember "Monster House"

[Newman1651 35]

Anyone here remember or heard of that 2006 Animated Horror Film? Yes the one involving a house that eats people?

 

There was also \a bit of lore in the film. Supposedly the House was one instance of a rare creature that only manifests under certain conditions. A structural Golem. Latin term, Domus Mactibilis.

Here's some of the lore:

A Domus Mactibilis lives from an inner fire, fueled by life it consumes. Blood and flesh fuel it's venomous flame. The more it eats, the more powerful it gets - Until it's very existence is a threat to all life on earth. In all known cases of structural possession, the monster was only put to rest by snuffing the fire within it's heart.

It's possible for a man's spirit to take on a life of it's own and seek out vengeance. When that spirit seeks the shelter of the dead man's home, it creates a rare blend of ghost and monster, called a structural golem. A structaul golem will stop at nothing to consume the source of it's frustration. The heart of a structural golem contains the flame of vengeance. It is this flame the monster must feed, for when that fire dies, so will the creature. Indeed, blood and flesh fuel it's venomous flame, so that it's very existence is a threat to all life on earth.

There is the story, for instance, of Pretorius the second, a vengeful and tyrannical king, who spent his whole life fortifying his castle. Pretorius was literally killed by his aspiration for perfect shelter when crushed by a load of bricks. The king's soul merged with the stone and wood, bringing the castle to life. Cows, horses, servants, and unlucky visitors were eaten alive. Weapons were useless against the monster.

Finally, a group of villagers were able to subdue the stone beast with intoxicants and infiltrate it's walls, where they used water to extinguish the flame inside it's heart.

To make things short, It's Haunted house, but worse. . . 

 

What I'm saying here that im not going for a crossover but rather a story that follows similar beats to the film. The only crossover aspect being the existence of Domus Mactibili in the equestrian world. and on  in the human world, the Design of the house looks like this.:

This story is set in the Equestria Girls Human World and is more closer to the plot of the film. The difference being the origins and backstory of the house. said origins being "legend of Everfree" all over again but taken up a notch. with said girl becomes what she sought to protect and save,

The Scenario being that a girl is trying to protect and save her family's home. Having been built more than a century ago by her Grandparents and has been the traditional house of each generation. It faces condemnation and demolition.

Much like Gloriosa she would too have a desire to protect and save something that's dear to her family and said desire becomes an obsession up until her exposure to equestrian magic.

The magic that she is exposed to is unfortunately Timberwolf based. It also allows her to merge with the wood, bricks and mortar of the House bringing it to life. Taking the place of Constance. 

Something like this:

But it's a building:

At least she doesn't dire from getting buried in a thick layer of wet concrete.

 

As there is no Nebbercracker or Constance in ths story, the basement is a lot less cluttered with mounds of toys and a water tank sits where Constance's grave should be,

 

She would attack or Eat anyone that dare sets foot on the plot it stands on after no more than 10 seconds. On some nights, her apparition would be seen in either two windows or whenever it roars. it's clear that the magic that allowed her to possess the house is based around the Timberwolves. That being the window/eyes glow green and green light seems to emanate from inside the house whenever it's active. This can be used to explain why the house could take control of the dead trees on it's plot:

Over the course of a month, the Timberwolf magic would eventually turn her feral as well as having the ability to regenerate/reassemble, but at the cost of gradually making her feraland monstrous.

The victims/eyewitnesses of the House's attacks go as follows

• two police officers.
• Landlord
• a cross-eyed mail carrier
• Snips and Snails
• the Diamond Boys.
• Cutie Mark Crusaders,

Isn't there a way to destroy the Timberwolf in your idea? Because an unstoppable threat that can kill people is not a good thing to think about in these troubling times coughs*cronavirus*cough

This actually sounds like a great plot for an Equestria Girls special. However, the idea is kinda copyrighted already, because of that movie you mentioned, as well as the design. And knowing Hasbro, they wouldn't be able to use such ideas. I cannot think of anything different that would work.

The movie already explained it. Find the heart and put out the fire or destroy the heart entirely. DJ threw a bundle of dynamite down it's chimney, and defeated the house by blowing it up.

Though I have to wonder if such a special would be considered too dark for it's target demographic. I mean that movie is really dark and scary despite being a children's movie.

I could see it having the CMC or some other minor EqG characters. mane 7 getting dragged intot his in the later part of the story.

it's meant to stay in the realm of fanfiction. However, there were some early designs on what it would look like:

I personally hate this design

I was talking about your idea about the Timberwolf? . Not the movie. I've seen the movie! I know they told me that. But you didn't say how to destroy the timberwolf monster in your idea! I Meant to ask how to destroy the Timberwolves not destroy the house.

I fixed it now.

My point still stands. You got to include a weakness or a way to defeat it in the crossover idea.

I think Timberwolves could be defeated by burning them. They are made of wood after all.

 

Also I was talking about mixing timber-wolf traits into the Monster House as the Girl possessing and controlling the House would have timberwolf aspects mixed with her personality and desire to save and defend the house. Having been distorted and warped by the magic's influence. making her beastlike and feral n nature. Essentially putting the "Monster" in "Monster House".
