Recap / Calvin And Hobbes Monsters Under The Bed

Go To

Calvin is having problems with monsters hiding under his bed trying to grab and eat him, keeping him up at night.

Tropes

  • Bed Trick: A variant. One of the monsters under Calvin's bed reaches up with its tentacle and nudges Calvin, pretending to be his mom waking him up, trying to get him to get down off the bed so it can grab him. Calvin figures the trick out in time to save himself.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Are the monsters under Calvin's bed real, or just a figment of his six-year-old imagination?
  • Your Mind Makes It Real: Calvin's mom suggests that the monsters under Calvin's bed only exist because Calvin keeps thinking about them, and they'll cease to exist if he stops.
