P.S. There are the rest of the topics within each bubble.
I'm going to compare Monster house and Coraline because the two movies have a very similar aspect when it comes to having a weird home that can do creepy things like essentially come alive in some ways throughout each movie.
Costumes
In Coraline their clothes change with the time of day and the weather. Coraline changes into her pajamas at night time. A raincoat and rain boots for rainy weather and her normal everyday clothes, a long sleeve shirt and some pants. The costumes only change for the other characters when Coraline enters the "other world"
Coraline- Dakota Fanning
Wyabie/ Coralines friend - Robert Bailey Jr
Coralines mom- Teri Hatcher
Coralines dad- John Linell
Coralines other mother- Teri Hatcher
Coralines otherr father- John Linell
Bobinski/ the crazy man upstairs- Ian Mcshane
Two ladys down stairs- Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders
The cat/ who guides her- Keith David
All of the characters listed above are Main characters and some important side characters that still play a huge role in the movie.
The movie Coraline takes place in England in the pink palace, her new home that her father and mother bough to move into. The area is quite smoggy with lots of slugs, broken tree branches and even an old water well. The pink mansion is essentially three different apartments in one. With a neighbor above and two below
Coraline and her parents move into a new house. Coraline finds a little door and that door reveals "the other world" she then meets her other parents and everything seems much better than the real world but little does she know theother mother has some tricks up her sleeve.
The whole movie was made through stop motion, so essentially the entire movie is special effects. The music through the movie is very whimsical sometimes but then can change into something super intense and has a bunch of voices whispering loudly almost.

Here you can listen to the movies full album.
Throughout the movie Coraline the Pink Palace is a huge pink house that can only be asscoiated witht he movie Coraline. Coraline is also most knwon for her raincoat and her rainboots and bright blue hair with a blue dragonfly clip in her hair.
Costumes
Everyone, including our main 3 characters, dress in a plain look. Very suburban grunge, nothing super out of place. The colors are washed out on everyone that's older. Good way to have us feel more drawn to the main 3 characters, simply because they dress more colorful then everyone else.
Got our main 3 characters. From left to right it goes Jenny, DJ, and Chowder. They are the protagonists in the movie.
Zee is the baby-sitter and is dating Skull.
Nebbercracker is the old mean guy who owns the Monster House.
Constance is the spirit who possesses the house.
Bones is the annoying ex of Zee.
Skull is a gamer guy.
Monster House is set in a small, seemingly old neighborhood in Milwaukee. The house are modest and nothing except the house is out of place. Of course this is to draw attention to it. The setting is exactly what Id imagine for what the movie is. Surburban kids living life until the Monster House.
Monster House is a movie about 3 kids who begin to investigate the creepy old house in their neighborhood, and the resident old guy. Nebbercracker, the old man, dies of a heart attack and that leads to Bones getting swallowed by the house. This leads the 3 kids down a rabbit hole of terror as they take on the Monster House and unlock its mysteries.
Uniquely enough, the films actors were filmed through mocap to capture the movements. Instead of traditional animation. This type of animation was also used on the Polar Express and it brings realism to the actors movements. It helps draw us in the world, because the people move like people, and not animated constructs. The music in the movie is nothing special but it is very suspenseful. Not very horror movie like.
An obvious one is the house. It has a recognizable face, and reminds me of jack-o-lanterns. Other then that, it does have its fair share of jokes tied to it. And for good reason. The art style and seemingly awkward situations tend to lead to funny situations. Nebbercracker is very recognizable even now. He has a signature design and despite dying early in the movie, he stuck in the heads of many years after.
