The house of Dr. Gerhart appears as the main antagonist in "House Calls". It is possessed by the music Gerhart used to bring his house to life just so he could have a friend however this idea backfired, Gerhart refers to his house as a she, meaning his house is a female, which can be concluded as the house makes woman-like groans and roars. The house is very jealous of anyone who comes between it and its owner, Gerhart. Which is why it became immediately jealous of Courage, Muriel and Eustace. And then attacked their farmhouse by throwing bricks and wood at their home. The house is later calmed down when Courage and Gerhart decide to restore and redecorate it by painting it pink and cleaning the insides. After that, the house became nice and peaceful rather than jealous and cruel.
Trivia[]
- Gerhart's House seems reminiscent of Constance Nebbercracker the Giantess from the film Monster House, where Horace Nebbercracker's wife died while their house was being built and her body was part of the foundation via falling down and being covered in cement. Her soul became entrapped inside the house instead of going to heaven and Horace Nebbercracker stayed out of love for his wife and to protect others from the house, who attacked those that came by. Unlike Gerhart's House, Horace’s house never calmed down, remaining hateful of others including children, animals, and even its own owner since it got angry because Horace is about to blow it up.
