The Bed Monster is the antagonist in the 2012 film Under The Bed.
The Bed Monster plays on the childhood fear of the dark places while we sleep. It is the monster that lives under the bed consuming the dead skin cells we shed everytime we sleep. No longer satisfied with skin cells it now seeks to find and eat its prey entirely. Only light keeps it trapped in its mysterious goulish domain as it waits for darkness to fall so it can come out from Under The Bed.
As its desperation and hunger increase, Neal and Paulie take extreme measures to try to keep it from killing their entire family. Running away has no effect as it follows them to the neighbor's home and kills that family except for the sister. It has their scent now...and its out from under the bed. When Paulie is taken under the bed its up to Neal to go in and get him out. Its a deadly battle...some will not survive. When the battle is finished, is it dead or ... is it now UNDER YOUR BED?
