As the title implies.
I never had a tentecled beast under my bed (or anywhere else). I was
always afraid of the latest serial killer/pedophile/clown/whetever that was terrorizing America. It HAD to be
something real 
Living china dolls with cracked faces and ventriloquist dummies. 
Except
they were indeed in the closet, not under the bed.
Edit: Re-reading your
post, clowns too. whimper
I had a sloth like creature that resembled the monsters
from the comic āBoneā but it was thinner and had longer claws. Lived in my closet and my nightmares, and it
made me scared of the dark. Of course, itās not āthereā anymore, and I loves the dark. 
I grew up in a genuine haunted house, a house over 200
years old, so monsters were certainly NOT among my worries! Seriously, though, as a little kid, few things
terrified me more than clowns. By the age of two I already was fascinated by dragons, dinosaurs, snakes,
alligators, pretty much anything reptiltian and scaly, but I was horrified of waking up and finding a CLOWN in my
roomā¦either that or one of those flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz; those
things freaked me out pretty bad, too.

My big things were the aliens and big foots that ran around outside my house which only go
worse when I found out about the skunk ape - a cousin of big foot - who actually lives in the everglades just a
hop skip and a jump from here. Usually it was ok though as Iād managed to convince myself that Nessy (the Loch
Ness Monster) lived in the river out back of my house and was protecting me. 
When I was a kid, it was Chuck E. Cheese. Well, not so much just him, but his evil
robotic band friendsā¦ I had nightmares about themā¦ and then there were the Oompa Loompas from the original
Willy Wonka movie. Iām telling you, the old orange Oompa Loompas, Chuck E. Cheese and his gang are all children
of Satan.
(The new Oompa Loompas from the Johnny Depp movie are much cooler, thanks to music by Danny
Elfman.)
Nothingā¦But I saw lights in my closet once.
Really. Scared the crap outta me.
Iāve
never been keen on spiders or insects generally (bees and wasps still give me the shivers), but I was never
afraid of any āmonstersā. We donāt actually have closets here, so the whole idea of a monster coming out of my
closet was pretty alien to meā¦Iāve recently moved house, and my new room has two Grudge cupboards (if anyone
has seen The Grudge, Iām referring to the scene when she goes into the wardrobes and bad things happen).
Theyāre pretty scary, especially when it gets very windy, and, being on the top floor, the wind gets in and
makes the cupboard doors bang.
Ooooo, donāt even get me started on those
robotic demons! My mom took me to Chuck E Cheese when I was two and I didnāt know if I was supposed to laugh or
run away screaming.
Ah, clowns. I was scared of them before I even saw the movie cover of IT. In
fact, my fear of clowns disapeared after I read the book and saw the movie. I still hate their clowny guts
though. You just canāt trust somthing that smiles that often.
Same hereā¦ except I was three, and it was for my birthday. I
wouldnāt stop freaking out, and the big dumb rat wouldnāt get a clue and leave me alone, so we had to abandon
my party and have it somewhere else.
I can count on one hand the times Iāve been to that stupid place,
and each time Iāve hated it. I canāt hear āThe Lion Sleeps Tonight,ā without being reminded of that
horrid, horrid place. Iām 22, and that place still gives me the creeps.
Perhaps not so much what is under my bed but I got scared things would pop out at me in
the bathroom. Im not really sure why but I used to think that in the bathroom something is always right behind
you and that you just cant see them because theyāre so good at staying on your back. For some strange reason it
used to beā¦ The Seven Dwarfs who were always stalking meā¦
Oh I LOVED the Oompa Loompas from the first movie!! They were
awesome!!
Nothing really scared me from my bed or closet . . .
Same here. Nothing scared me much. No monster was really theatening to me. But I was
always afraid of real threats. Serial killers that invade peopleās houses and do their bussiness. I was afraid
that I wa going to be a victim.
Well, my next door neighbours had a really feisty dog (bark worst than bite),
but I always had a slight niggling concern that it would somehow turn up in my room and bite me. Well, I was 7 at
the time.
Ho yeah! With people like Ted Bundy running amock, big hairy
ākittiesā and lizard monsters were the LEAST of my problems 
In fact, had I saw Randall or Sully
walk out of my closet, I would have begged my mom to let me keep em
I can
promise you, that with my dragon fixation I had when I was a little kid, if Randall had walked out of MY closet,
that would have been a dream come true! Well, it STILL would be, but for a very different reason now that Iām
all grown up, heehee!

Hehe
your preachinā to the choir! 
I need to spread my posts throughout more movie threads. 
As a child, I never
had a fear of something hiding under my bed. My closet was a different story. I always thought some maniac
would pop out and get me if I opened the doors. The same went for when I was in the bathroom at night and went
to pull back the shower curtain.
To this day, I still have a fear of the dark, but Iām much better about
it. My worst fears are of bees and lightning/thunderā¦not that I donāt enjoy
watching lightning because itās so
fascinating.
~~=oP
I donāt recall
having a monster when I was young.
Well even if I did I probably would be a dead door concerning the fact
Iām nearly fearless.
sigh I would love to see a good
thunderstorm!
