## Summary

Hugging Face's Nemotron Halloween post describes MonsterHouse, an interactive projection built by an NVIDIA employee, that answers trick-or-treaters in the voice of a grumpy old pirate ship. The character runs on the NVIDIA Nemotron Voice Agent with Nemotron Speech ASR, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB as its response model, Magpie TTS Zeroshot for voice, and Audio2Face-3D for mouth animation, all on a single workstation.
