A quart of melted ice cream is left in the cupboard, Brian's bike is left on the driveway (causing his father to crash into it on his way to work). Brian insists he is innocent and blames his younger brother, Eric, who claims to have seen a monster the night before . As revenge, Brian snatches Eric's lunch and tosses it out the window, hitting Ronnie Coleman, the school bully who boards the bus and antagonizes Brian . At school, they got into a fight until the principal broke it up and took Brian to his office to have a little talk since he's new to the school . </P> <P> That night, while sleeping in Eric's room for a bet, Brian hears a loud noise, the source of which quickly disappears under Eric's bed . Brian subsequently is unable to make it through the night in Eric's room, making his way to the downstairs couch for the remainder of the night . The next morning, Eric and his friend Todd find Brian on the couch and joke about Brian being unable to sleep the entire night in Eric's room . Brian bets Eric "double or nothing" to sleep in Eric's room another night . The next night, a determined Brian sets booby traps, leaving bait in the form of cheese Doritos to attract the alleged "monster" and alters the legs on the bed to collapse once he determines the monster has come out from under the bed . He succeeds with this method, trapping the monster intruder: a blue - skinned monster named Maurice . Though scared and startled at first, Brian soon discovers that he and Maurice share the same interests and befriends him . Over the course of several nights, Maurice shows him a fun time in the monster world beneath Eric's bed . It consists of every child's dream: all the junk food and video games they want, and no adults to tell them what to do . It also has innumerable staircases leading to the spaces beneath children's beds, from which the monsters cause trouble . Maurice and Brian have fun making mischief in other people's homes, and Brian feels he has found a true friend at last; although Brian seems to be changing . </P> <P> One night, Maurice brings Brian along with several other monsters to the bedroom of an infant baby, with intentions to scare the baby . Brian finds this to be cruel, and attempts to turn on the lights to cause the monsters to collapse into clothes (this happens when the monsters experience any form of light). He opens the bedroom door, exposing the hallway light to the baby's bedroom . In doing this, Brian learns that he is turning into a monster, as his body parts shrink when the light hits him . </P>
