I know that we can all relate to the various monsters of childhood you describe...but the creepy thing is that the closet doors never closed! That must have been so scary! Your illustration totally captures that frightening idea of a monster whose only clear features are the red hand and the glowing eyes...I wonder what the rest of him looks like... It reminds me of a monster my younger sister was afraid of. She simpley called it "The Arm."
