Monster House hid an early clue about Nebbercracker's wife in plain sight

Did you notice in Monster House that Mr. Nebbercracker revealed his wife was in the house before anyone knew? One of the details I've always loved in the movie happens in the scene where he has a heart attack.

Nebbercracker's last words before he collapses mention her

The first time through, most people probably didn't notice this. While he's having the heart attack, Mr. Nebbercracker exclaims, "Why can't you just get away from her?" The last word of his sentence is cut short as he collapses, but that is what he's saying.

The line foreshadows that Constance is in the house

This was one of the first foreshadowing details the audience was given, proving that his wife Constance's soul was truly in the house. That tiny slip changes the context of his anger on a rewatch. He was thought to be a crazy neighbor, but in reality it was just a genuine attempt to save a young boy's life.
