Monster House was a Discovery Channel television program that documented the themed remodeling of a residence in a five-day time frame.

In 2004, the episode "Zen House" was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for its opening song by composer Dan Mackenzie.

In early 2006, Discovery Channel announced the show had been canceled and the final episode, titled "Farewell House", aired in February.

During the "Zen House", the build team finished so quickly that they could assist the interior decorators and have the family moved in on Friday night.

On at least two on-camera occasions, the build was not completed on time by the original team, while other episodes showed builders bowing to pressure and leaving the set during construction.

During the final season, the series regularly employed product placement by including a bald actor portraying advertising mascot Mr. Clean who would stand around during the last-minute cleanup jobs and nod approvingly.
