Thread: The Closet Monster

When you were young was there a closet monster that was always going to eat you if you left the door open? Were you scared of it so that you daren't get out of bed? I was.

I remember when I was very young, probably about 4. The radiator in my room used to gurgle over night, not constantly, just once like the heating had just been switched off or something like that. That was my sign that if Ididn't go to sleep then the closet monster would soon come and get me

mine was under the bed. as a child i was scared to let any body part hang over the edge of the bed, afraid that the monster under my bed would bite it off.... i was never skeert of me closet though :o)

Mine was in the cane bushes and was called 'BLACK HEART'...it was said he would come at night and steal the children away ...had us kids really scared ...worse yet I lived ina house surrounded by canefields on two sides....<shuders with memories>

I'd hide under my covers and hoped it wouldn't find me...lol

Hehehe sounds like you live in The Village (movie)

there be duppies in dem woods lil beez!...
mine were clothing.....they looked like monsters when the light was off...after a while I didnt fall for it any more although I did turn the light off before getting up to rearrange or put the clothes where I could see the shape shift!...lol

LOL...duppies...yes dem too massa (yes them too mister(miss) ....

KATE ...I LOVE THE NEW YOU....what did you do to look so young and beeoootiful...lol...it's really cool...keep that one...I love your others but this is soooo cute....

lol...that didnt take long...hehe...that was taken when I was two years old....running around my backyard smelling flowers....thats why my nose is a bit scrunched...lol...has my white party dress on and ready for the world!....and recieved many peddles up my nose too!..ick

LOL....awww...how cute is that...well missy things haven't changed much I bet...still running around sniffing flowers (and phtographing them)...and partying it up I'm sure....lol

Stephen King once said that he knows the monster under the bed isn't real, but as long as he was careful not to let his leg hang outside the covers it wouldn't get him. (I can't remember the exact quote, it was far more eloquent!)

Kind of sums it up, doesn't it?

Closet doors get me too - one night when I first lived alone I woke in the middle of the night to see the wardrobe door in the moonlight opening all by itself with attendant creaks. I absolutely froze, heart in my mouth, until my cat who must have been trapped inside, trotted out and jumped on my bed! Nearly had a heart attack!
