Monster House is a 2006 computer animated and motion capture film. It was produced by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis and written by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab.
The movie focuses on DJ Walters, a boy who is convinced that there's something strange about the house across the street, and believes the house across the street from him is alive. When his parents go away for the weekend, he tries convincing his babysitter that there is something wrong about the house. She does not believe him, so DJ enlists the help of his best friend Chowder and Jenny, a girl selling Halloween candy (and who nearly gets eaten by the house). Together, the three of them try to destroy the monster house, along the way figuring out its secret.

I was actually planning on posting this on Halloween, but I can't think of any other film right now that I've already watched. I've seen this film a bunch of times on TV, but I seldom hear people around me giving it a high regard, unlike Moana and again, Frozen (Come on, people! Disney's not the only one that produces great animated films. Though, yes, I agree that they are the most consistent).
Kids at a certain age crave for thrill and excitement like horror movies. However, most horror films are too violent for the innocent young ones.
This animated film has just the right amount of scariness that won't even inflict trauma on children. You'll love the twists and turns in this film, especially if you like a bit of mystery. The characters are very well-made, very human-like and relateable. Each of their personalities really stand out and the dialogue's great. It's actually pretty scary and can be quite of a suspense. The story actually reminds me of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps. Anyway, you'd want to watch this on Halloween with the younger members of the family as a safe horror film.
