What does the monster under your bed look like?
He lays there. Every night when I go up to sleep I have to jump from my door to bed. If I didn't have the balls to do this when I was younger I wouldn't be typing as I am now. I'd be locked inside a monster's stomach, or worse- become part of him. That is what I live with. The creature from tenebris praeteritis diebus.
If as a child, a monster lived under your bed, what did it look like?
He was furry. Almost like Sully.Execpt he was big and black with four red eyes kind of like thisFrom what I remember, although I'm almost sure it was in my dreams, he would wait for the lights to go out, crouch in the corner and stare at me. He didn't smile much. His eyes were almost sad. Sometimes he would make my marionette dance and would smile when I would laugh. He would make my dolls spin and dance in the air too. He used to growl if someone was outside my door. I liked him. I tried to coax from under the bed with cookies ans juice or tea or milk when the light was on. I thought he needed a friend. He looked lonely. I wanted to play with him but when I would get out of bed he'd disappear under my bed again almost like a shadow slipping across the floor. He was pretty cool to me. My older daughter used to see something similar. I figured it out when she kept drawing her. That should be creepy but really it's kind of cool that her mind works so much like mine.
Do monsters live under the bed or in the closet?
I actually have the official answer on this, and it's no guess. It has been proved that monsters do indeed live under the bed, in the closet, and anywhere else we allow them to. The trick is...only let the monsters you want around stick around. They're only monsters if you let them be. Some of them can actually be gentle and kind. Some of them even like wings and beer.
Why am I still afraid of "monsters" under my bed?
When I was like 3, I had a nightmare that men in black robes were coming after me and chanting "desie" like desire with out the er sound. I woke up crying and told my parents. My father thought it was funny and recorded himself saying disie over and over and put it under my bed. (I can't wait until he is old and I can get him back!! LOL!!) To this day, 26 years later I can not stand beside my bed with the lights out, nor can I hang my hands or feet over the side because I am afraid something is going to grab me. I have to run to my bed and jump on it when I turn the lights out. My husband laughs at me because a time or two I bumped my head on the head board becasue I was running so fast.
Where does the myth of monsters under the bed come from?
Why are children, and sometimes adults, sometimes afraid of monsters under their bed, and bogeymen in their closet? Does this have some kind of significance in the history of mythology, or is it just part of human nature? Also, how do people work past believing things like this? Is it just something children grow out of? What about adults that continue to believe it? I tried asking this in a more fun way, by pretending to be afraid of monsters under my bed, but keep getting notifications the question was deleted. Apparently I didn't make it clear it was an actual question (and now am probably on the Yahoo Answers evil troll watchlist because someone doesn't have a sense of humour, grrr.). Anyway, thoughts? Thanks.
What do you remember about the monsters under your bed or in the closet?
I always knew that if you didn't get out of bed and open the closet door or look under your bed you (I) was safe so long as the covers were over me. To be extra safe you can pull the covers over your head. After all this is how things work in the real world, not in some horror movie or monster show.This is why some kids pee to bed. They don't want some monster knawling on their ankles. Suppose you can always pee on the monster under your bed just don't feed it.As far as the monster in the closet I didn't mind it too much so long as it was quiet as I had school in the morning. As an added layer of protection besides the covers I sometimes fart in bed and that seems to scare them away.P.S. When I read the news about real life monsters thinking back I actually felt safer with the ones under my bed and in the closet.
What if the monsters under our bed are there to protect us?
In the 80′s ‘Twilight Zone’, there was an episode about the Shadow Man who lived under the bed of a bullied nerd. “I am the Shadow Man and I will never hurt the one who’s bed I live under.” The police instigate a curfew, thinking that his work is just a pervert beating up kids. The nerd becomes the bully, ’cause he’s got immunity, right? He’s in the park after challenging the bully, who’s afraid to come out because of the curfew. The Shadow Man rises up from behind the park bench and starts choking the nerd. “b-b-but … ?” “I am the Shadow Man and I do not come from under your bed.”
There's a monster under your bed. What do you do?
Ah, a new guy…this is going to be fun. Now before we start i’d like to point out that all of the monster characters here are organized by species or what type they are and there are several different groups including vampiric beings (this includes less conventional vamp types), werecreatures, horror movie characters, tv show characters, the undead (mummies and zombie types for the most part), Burtonesque, alter-egos/forms of mine, former friends turned evil, former antagonists turned good, otherworldly, former childhood trauma-monsters, celebrity transformation based, fish-people, feline based, and ones connected to recurring places in my dreams. Oh and ‘Trump-monsters’ too.All new monsters are required to fill in a sheet that has their name, species and what group of monster they’d like to be in along with their powers.
