Later the boys rescue the smart Jenny from the house and the trio unsuccessfully tries to convince the babysitter, her boyfriend Bones and two police officers that the haunted house is a monster, but nobody believes them.

Parent Guide

Excluding the arcade game part, there is no blood or gore throughout the entire movie. There is some dirt on clothes and faces.

A man is seen playing a game at an arcade with lots of gore, chopping off heads severed arms etc.

An animated house seems to cough something out of its "throat" and we see goo splatter. We see a 2-liter bottle half-filled with urine (two boys have been using it as a bathroom and a girl finds it).

We see an extremely obese woman locked in a cage in a carnival sideshow.

A boy steps into a street and is nearly hit by a car, and the boy falls back onto the street and appears to be unconscious for a moment.

An old man brazenly picks up a young girl and yells at her for tricycling on her lawn, she screams and the old man takes one of the wheels of her trike off.

Since this is a kid's film, there's no intense and bloody violence.

An angry and animated house pulls itself along a street chasing people, someone throws a brick at it, the house becomes angry and lunges at the person, and someone tries to set off explosives but the house grabs him.

A boy falls on top of the cement form of woman, and the cement breaks away revealing the skeletal remains of a woman; the boy and two other children scream and run.

A large tree becomes animated, it picks up a car (three children are hiding in it), puts the car inside a house, and the car is pulled apart and half of it is "eaten"; the children get out of the other half but remain trapped in the house.

A man sees a kite inside a house, he walks up the front steps and to the open front door and he is dragged inside (we hear the man screaming).

A boy rings the doorbell of a house, the house appears to become angry, the windows glow yellow, resembling eyes, the porch slats become like sharp fangs, and an entry rug becomes like a tongue and furls out to snap up the boy (the boy gets away).

A girl walks toward a house, the house becomes angry, the sidewalk planks lift up from the ground and push the girl into the air and toward the front door -- which now resembles an angry mouth filled with pointed teeth -- and her wagon rolls into the mouth (the girl is OK).

A dark house creaks and groans, a man opens the front door and yells at a girl that's on his front lawn, snarls and bristles and says, "Do you want to be eaten alive?"; the girl screams and runs away, and the man breaks her tricycle and takes it into the house.

A boy sleeps and a dark shadow creeps through the window, takes the shape of a large hand and crashes down on him (the boy wakes up in a start and is afraid).

A young woman and a man talk about a woman disappearing and that her husband "ate her."

A man pulls a boy's stuffed animal apart and we see stuffing and a detached head.

Two police officers in a car drive slowly behind two boys and a girl and one of the boys is knocked down (he does not appear injured).

A boy is hit hard in the face by a basketball, falls to the ground and says, "My nose is in my brain."

A babysitter is abusive to a boy that she is supposed to be taking care of (she insults him and says that she will blame him for things that he did not do).
