Monster House is an Survival Horror adventure video game released in 2006 by A2M. The game is based on the film of the same name.

Problems

Freezing When Entering Fireplace

The game freezes when crawling through a fireplace in Chapter 3. The game is very linear, as such you can't continue playing past this point. See issue 10739. Fixed by 5.0-16631

Invalid Read Errors

The fix for the Fireplace hangs causes invalid reads to be spit out at transitions. These are non-fatal and can be ignored or disabled by Options -> Configuration -> and Uncheck Display Panic Handlers. 5.0-16631 enables MMU, allowing the game's internal error handler to deal with the invalid reads, which usually does not result in a crash.

Save State/Memory Card Swap Hang

Very rarely (once in a playthrough), the game may get stuck in a loading screen, especially if save states were used from before a save point. It is unknown if swapping memory cards would cause crashes on console.
