Monster House

Monster House elicits a primary emotional response of Humor due to its witty dialogue, slapstick situations, and quirky characters, fitting its 'Comedy' genre. However, as a 'Family' film with 'Animation' that leans into horror, Fear and Anxiety are significant, driven by the genuinely menacing house and the children's perilous encounters. Surprise plays a key role with jump scares and plot revelations, especially regarding the house's true nature and Nebbercracker's tragic backstory, which introduces a strong element of Empathy and a touch of Sadness towards the film's conclusion, shifting the audience's perception of the 'monster'.
