* ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'': [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Binkley]]'s Closet of Anxieties is full of monsters, the most visible one being the Giant Purple Snorklewhacker, a purple, green-spotted monsters with a rhino-like horn: as the strip goes on, this concept was expanded. Once Binkley is old enough to worry about more mature problems, avatars of said fears show up in the closet with the monsters, sometimes scaring the monsters themselves. For instance, in one strip, the Snorklewhacker gives Binkley a choice between a convention of ''PM Magazine'' hosts, Jesse Helms explaining at length why Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist, or a huge, Binkley-eating python. Binkley opts for the python, saying, "[[TakeThat Heck, I'm no glutton for punishment]]". Eventually the fear closets of other characters are also shown.

* In the NSFW webcomic ''WebComic/TheMonsterUnderTheBed,'' there's, well, a monster under the protagonist's bed. [[CuteMonsterGirl She's pretty cute.]] Her ([[OneGenderRace all-female]]) clan has the ability to enter our world through the shadow under people's beds, and they're in a sort of friendly rivalry with the (all-male) clan who enter reality through children's closets. They collect fear energy, but love energy is way more powerful-but also more dangerous to collect.

So just remember that the Boogeyman, the Golems, or the Oni is and are right there. In your closet. Under your bed. In the dark. At night...

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'': Discussed when Gru tries to scare his three adoptive daughters by saying that there's probably "something" in their closet. It only really works on the youngest one Agnes.
