Twelve-year-old DJ Walters has decided there's something weird about old man Nebbercracker's house across the street. Things keep disappearing into the run-down structure: basketballs, toys, and pets. 

It’s the day before Halloween and DJ and his pal Chowder have a run-in with Mr. Nebbercracker after their basketball is mysteriously swept into the house. When the house tries to swallow their new friend Jenny, they turn to Skull, a twenty-something slacker pizza chef, who advises them that the house could be alive. They come up with a plan to strike at its heart, the basement furnace. But their plan goes awry, and when the house chases them down the street, they must join forces to make the neighborhood safe for trick-or-treaters.
