What happens

Little Monsters is a 1989 American fantasy comedy film directed by Richard Alan Greenberg, written by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott, and starring Fred Savage, Daniel Stern, Margaret Whitton, Rick Ducommun, and Howie Mandel. It tells the story of a young boy named Brian Stevenson who befriends a real-life "monster under the bed" named Maurice and discovers a secret world of monsters who sneak into children's bedrooms at night to pull pranks on them. Although the film failed financially, receiving a limited theatrical release due to Vestron's bankruptcy, it obtained a cult following on home video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
