The monster living in your closet. The creature lurking in the shadows underneath your bed. The thing hiding in your basement. The guy who begins scratching his long, razor-sharp nails on your windowpane the instant you draw the curtains and turn out the lights. The guy that...sorry if I'm getting too scary.
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...
Waiting.
There might be somebody you can call, but if not, just stay under the covers.
Often found in concert with an Ironic Nursery Tune. Not to be confused with being kept awake at night by your neighbors having noisy fun. Or with Monster Closet, a video game trope about hidden enemies.

In the horror novel Jago, a town is afflicted with a force that causes people's fears and obsessions to come to life. Jeremy is afraid of an Evil Dwarf that he believes hides in his room and comes out after the light is switched off, and will try to suck his brain out of his skull if he doesn't hide under the covers. When it manifests, he actually doesn't have too much trouble defeating it, because it's actually a bit ridiculous when it appears in clearly visible physical form instead of as a vague possibility lurking in the dark — and also because by then he's had several experiences that were far more terrifying.

The Far Side: Gary Larson often used this trope:
One strip plugs a "Monster Snorkel", which lets you breathe under your bed-covers without exposing even an inch of skin to attack, demonstrated by a child using it to hide from a wolfman and a spiky dinosaur-thing. In the introduction to one of his strip collections, Larson notes that one of the monsters above the blanket (the wolf) is one of his own childhood boogeymen. He also tells how his older brother hid in his (Gary's) closet one night and sloooowly slid open the door...
Another strip features two boogeymen frightened by the possibility that there may be something lurking on top of the bed.
Another one invokes the trope in the title, and featured a boogeyman knocking his head on the top of the door frame while trying to sneak into the kid's room.
Parodied in one with a couple investigating a strange noise downstairs and finding a horrible towering monster... and being relieved, because it's "just Kevin" having a midnight snack.
One strip shows a monster eating breakfast with his wife and saying, "Dang! Look at the time! ... And I gotta be in little Billy Harrison's closet before nightfall!"
And one where the kid checks his closet, and it's empty for the moment.. except for the monster's chair, magazine, snacks, etc.
One nighttime monster is literally indescribable... because it's wearing a paper bag (with horn holes) over its head to make sure the kid it's scaring can't actually describe it to his mother.

In Step Monster, this is a minimum wage, minimum respect job for monsters in this setting, effectively the monster version of the Burger Fool. Matilda used to be Mikey's assigned closet monster before necessity forced her to agree to be a Parental Substitute instead.

Grimm plays this straight and has a notable subversion. Wesen (fairy tale creatures) are indeed the things that go bump in the night, but they in turn grow up with cautionary tales about Grimms, who will come to kill them if they eat too many people.

Played with in The Simpsons. When Marge gets addicted to slot machines in "$pringfield", Lisa's forced to turn to Homer when she has a dream about the boogeyman. Upon hearing the very word Homer freaks out, orders the windows and doors locked, grabs his shotgun, and holes up the rest of the family in his bedroom until Marge comes home. And by the time Marge gets home the door has a noticeable hole in it.

Bruce Coville's Book of...:
Bruce Coville's Book of Monsters: Plenty. My Little Brother is a Monster has a monster come out of the closet and one that turns up at the window (though averted in that case, since Keegle Farzym is friendly), Momster in the Closet (which may or may not be just imaginary), the title character of The Thing That Goes Burp in the Night (which lurks in their basement), and the title character of the poem The Bogeyman.
Bruce Coville's Book of Nightmares II: The poem It Came from the Closet revolves around a boy explaining to his dad that a monster lives in his closet. It ate a bunch of stuff, including his clothes... which is why he's naked as he tells his dad this.

Darklands: Superstitious medieval Germany provides things that go bump in the night from German folklore. But your band of heroes aren't children to be cowering beneath their blankets. The horrors of old German nightmares will learn that their fate is to be gutted with a sword or set on fire with an alchemical concoction.

The real world, grown-up version of these fears is the urban legend of the criminal who hides underneath your car in the mall parking lot and grabs or slashes your ankles, and then either drags you under there screaming or crawls out to finish the job. According to Snopes the exact intent of this bogeyman varies from simple assault and larceny to rape to murder to ritual mutilation (having to collect a female body part as part of a gang initiation rite). Paranoia and fear over this actually reached a point where adults had to be escorted to their cars by police like a child insisted on being escorted and tucked into bed by their parents.

The Book of Unremitting Horror provides the beings from the Outer Dark like the child-stalking Kooks and Bloody Mary expy Strap Throat, to haunt the nights and shadows in the game settings of the The Esoterrorists and Fear Itself. In Esoterrorists, the heroic Ordo Veritatis has kept them in check with bullets to the head and the occasional missile strike but in Fear Itself, the Outer Dark has almost free reign on Earth so it's not just the dark when these things are most active and goes into full Cosmic Horror once gods like the Empty One and the Mystery Man take over.

Monsters and Other Childish Things: Subverted. The monsters are Bond Creatures that attach themselves to children and are their Best Friend. But that doesn't make them human, as their usual solution to random annoying adults is to turn them into lunch. Generally averted with parents/relatives/other kids. Generally.

Hannibal gives us a completely non-supernatural version: Georgia Madchen, a girl suffering from complete face-blindness, the persistent belief that she is dead, powerful violent impulses, and a skin disease so severe that all the skin on her right forearm sloughs off in the main character's hand during an encounter. She's also in the habit of hiding under beds. Sleep well, Fannibals!

Night Shift: In the short story "The Boogeyman", a grown-up tells his psychologist about the closet-dwelling entity which killed his children, one by one. (Or rather what he thinks is his psychologist...) This trope is also visited in a subplot in King's novel Cujo.

Home Safety Hotline: Many supernatural pests will only grow active at nocturnal hours and are adept at keeping themselves hidden. Bed Hags take residence under structures for resting, Night Gnomes stalk people from outside their homes to watch them sleep, Hobbs perform their activities in the dark, Kobolds make homes in crevices and closets, and so on.

Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin often has to battle under-the-bed monsters, never fully depicted but often shown as alien, tentacled... things, never seen except for their eyes and occasional claws looming out of the shadows. One of the comic's strip collections is even titled Something Under the Bed Is Drooling. Luckily, they're also not very smart; they'll leave Calvin alone if he leaves garbage under the bed for them to eat — much to his parents' chagrin — and their poor bluffing caused their ambushes to fail on two separate occasions. The collection The Essential Calvin and Hobbes contains an original poem (with some fantastic, if terrifying, illustrations) called "A Nauseous Nocturne," about such a monster attacking Calvin at night, but then getting scared away by a sleeping Hobbes.

The Dresden Files: Many things go bump in the night. Fortunately, the titular wizard detective goes fwoosh right back. In Skin Game Little Maggie proudly tells her father that there had once been a monster under her bed but she and Mouse "slayerized" it. Given the setting maybe he should take her literally.

The SCP Foundation contains a number of creatures seemingly inspired by various boogeyman legends from across the globe. One such example is SCP-6087 (the 'Voice-Taker'), a ghostly figure with a large mouth and a beard of flies who steals the voices of naughty children. Another is SCP-6097, a Humanoid Abomination known as 'Granny Rat Tail', who resembles an elderly lady possessing a rat's tail, with a large eyeball at its tip. During the early nineteenth century, she was known to visit the small town of Brownsborough Massachusetts, flying on an enchanted wooden spoon, and extend her eye-tail down house chimneys in order to find and steal young babies to cook and eat them. From the Italian version of the site there's SCP-015-IT who's purported to be the boogeyman, a Humanoid Abomination with glowing eyes that feeds on fear by paralyzing its victims and sucking blood directly from their adrenal gland. There's also SCP-80, another Emotion Eater that's a black mist with Nightmare Weaver powers that lurked in children's closets and under their beds.

A few critters on Supernatural use this trope, such as Bloody Mary. Well illustrated in this quote:
Subverted in the episode "Home", in which the monster in the closet turns out to be a benevolent spirit that's protecting a child from a much nastier ghost.

Jim's Computer: Subverted. The game builds up tension about a monster hiding in one of the closets to kill Jim, only for it to turn out the only real threat towards Jim was himself as he points his gun to his chin, not wanting to deal with what he believes is a horrific beast.

Sesame Street:
Cookie Monster, despite being a monster himself, once sees a shaggy blanket at night and mistakes it for a monster, scaring him.
In one sketch, Grover tries to talk about how fear of the dark is ridiculous, despite being afraid of the dark himself. He mentions that people who are afraid of the dark might believe there are "scary things" lurking in the dark, but there aren't... yet he doesn't seem so sure of those things' absence.
In one skit, Ernie fears there are evil monsters in his and Bert's room that say, "Wubba wubba!". Bert tells him it's all in his head and tells him to imagine something better.

Discworld:
Bogeymen are a species of creature which like to hide behind doors or under beds or in cellars, and, due to Clap Your Hands If You Believe being in full power on the Discworld, exist explicitly because children think that they do — if a child is convinced firmly enough that monsters might lurk in dark corners, then the big hairy things from their imagination will indeed be present in the dark, scary places of their house. They can be defeated with the knowledge that they don't know anything under a blanket exists. INCLUDING THEMSELVES.
They're occasionally not-seen on the streets, hiding behind their door. They're entirely capable of lifting one off its hinges and walking off with it.
A fireplace poker also works, in a pinch — beating bogeymen senseless with a stout length of iron happens to be Susan sto Helit's preferred method of dealing with child-scaring bogey.
This trope also manifests itself in Hogfather, when the Tooth Fairy's tower defends itself with things that scared the robbers when they were kids. Makes sense, since the original Tooth Fairy started life as the original Bogeyman, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the fear of the unknown, of the darkness inside caves and of the beasts out in the night that haunted the dreams of proto-humans.

Zigzagged in Pebble and Wren where monsters do hide in closets and under beds to scare children, but they often make friends with the children and some even work in human institutions (Wren's principal is a monster for instance).

Michael Myers, in the original Halloween (1978), is repeatedly compared to the boogeyman, apparently unkillable, and deeply enigmatic. He also seems to particularly target teenagers who are transgressive against social norms. In a subversion of this particular trope, he doesn't show much if any interest in actual children. This changes in some of the later films in the franchise, with his targeting of his niece Jamie Lloyd.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4: Instead of playing a security guard at a Suck E. Cheese's, you're a little kid who is deathly afraid of its animatronics and dreading your upcoming birthday party there. So you stay up all night, scampering around your room with a flashlight, peeking down the hallways to stop Bonnie or Chica from sneaking up on you, checking to make sure Foxy isn't crouched in your closet, looking over your shoulder in case Freddy's sitting on your bed...

The Twilight Zone (1985):
In "The Shadow Man", the murderous titular entity takes up residence under Danny Hayes' bed and offers him immunity to his/its attacks. Only it turns out there's more than one of them... Maybe...
In "The Road Less Traveled", Megan McDowell tells her parents Jeff and Denise that there was a strange man in her room. When Jeff goes to investigate, he tells her that she just saw a pile of clothes on a chair and there is nothing to worry about. It turns out that Megan saw a version of Jeff from an Alternate Universe whose life was ruined after fighting in Vietnam and wanted to see the daughter that he never had.

Pathfinder:
Nalmungder is the Daemon Harbinger of basements, closets and delusions of security.
Bugbears as reimagined for the setting absolutely love acting as such, getting off on the fear of their future victims and being very, very good at sneaking about and hiding in places a burly, hairy six-to-seven-foot-tall murder machine has no business being able to...
Then there is the powerful, evil fey type who is literally called bogeyman.

Monsters, Inc. depicts this general situation from the monsters' point of view. In their world, they get their power via engines fueled by screams of fear, thus requiring them to scare children; a major plot point is that there is a power shortage due to this generation's kids being desensitized and harder to scare.

Dwarf Fortress:
In Adventurer Mode, this is the general role of the broad class of "night creatures", hostile monsters that lurk in the dark of night or underground. Bogeymen, in particular, can leap out of the darkness anywhere — literally, they spawn continuously when the sun is down. Peasants warn you about not traveling at night or sleeping somewhere outside civilization, lest the bogeymen get you, and the boogiemen are quite real; incredibly hard to hit little blighters that will One-Hit Kill you if you're asleep, teleport in front of you when you try to run away, and dissolve in the sunlight.
In fortress mode, ghosts, who can be disturbing at best and deadly at worst, and vampires, predators cunning enough to evade even the player's attention while leaving mysterious corpses, are the things that go bump.

In the NSFW webcomic The Monster Under the Bed, there's, well, a monster under the protagonist's bed. She's pretty cute. Her (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.

In the '90s sketch comedy show The State, one cold opening sketch had a kid calling to his mom to check under his bed for monsters. When she looks, she's dragged under and eaten, then a monstrous hand comes out holding a dollar bill, which the kid takes, then calls for his dad.

These monsters feed on human fear, and travel via closets and other doorways to get from place to place quickly. At a few points, the characters even swear in the name of the Bogeyman himself, who was a legendary king of the closet monsters centuries ago.

Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep: The bogeyman in "The Bogeyman" is a creature that lurks in the shadows of an unspecified perilous place. No one who has ever entered his domain has returned from it, having fallen victim to his "steely sharp claws", "slavering jaws", and his bone-crumpling "bogey embrace". But still people come and he waits patiently for his next victim.

The Mimics from Vita Carnis have shades of this. A race of grotesque, skinless humanoid monsters with distorted limbs and sharp teeth that stalk their victims for weeks to learn their daily routine, often hiding inside their prey's home behind furniture or inside cabinets and closets. Then, when their victim is asleep or otherwise alone and helpless, the Mimic kills and messily devours them.

Sinister: The Babylonian deity Bughuul, which would kill entire families and steal their children to feed on their souls. He's also supposed to be the origin of the boogieman myth, hence the name.

Bloom County: 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, "Heck, I'm no glutton for punishment". Eventually the fear closets of other characters are also shown.

The Sims 4: With the "Kids Room Stuff" DLC pack, child Sims who sleep in a child-sized bed will occasionally get a visit from a many-tentacled "Monster Under the Bed" in their sleep. The child Sim will then refuse to sleep in any bed for a few hours until an adult Sim sprays it away. Spraying the bed just before the child Sim goes to sleep often prevents the Monster from showing up in the first place.

Monster in the Closet is a comedic riff on this idea, in which it is revealed that the indestructible eponymous entity needs closets to survive, and the only way to kill it is to destroy every closet in the world. Also a pun. The compulsory Touch of the Monster moment is not with a woman but a man!

The rather obscure 80's cartoon My Pet Monster had the titular monster being so bad at scaring kids, it made friends with one of them; of course, this doesn't sit well with the rest of his species, who are rather traditionalist when it comes to monster-kid interactions.

Sluggy Freelance: In "Holiday Wars", Bun-bun gains control over the monsters of Halloween and leads them to battle against the turkey forces of Thanksgiving... (What? It Makes Sense in Context, sort of.) There's some talk about "deploying the MUBs," and sure enough, the turkeys' reserves, resting in the garrison, are all eaten by monsters under their beds.

The Real Ghostbusters, where we had the Boogeyman and something called "the Grundel". As if that's not enough, two Busters from different generations receive visits from them (Egon was tormented by the Boogeyman as a child, thus his impetus to study the paranormal; Kylie resisted the call of the Grundel, so he took her friend Jack instead.) Three of the Ghostbusters prove to be Flat-Earth Atheist in regards to the existence of the Boogeyman.

This trope also manifests itself in Hogfather, when the Tooth Fairy's tower defends itself with things that scared the robbers when they were kids. Makes sense, since the original Tooth Fairy started life as the original Bogeyman, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the fear of the unknown, of the darkness inside caves and of the beasts out in the night that haunted the dreams of proto-humans.

Little Princess:
In "I Don't Want to Go to Bed", the Princess mistakes the shadow of a tree for a monster in her bedroom and has her parents search for it. The next morning, when the Maid sees that the Princess is in her bed, she (wrongly) thinks the monster has taken her.
In "I Want Baked Beans", the Princess mistakes the sound of her own stomach growling for a monster under her bed.

The Boogeyman was the first monster faced in Martin Mystery, and was depicted as an entity composed of swamp matter and maggots. It was sealed within an old book, and after being unintentionally released, it began whisking "naughty" children away to its pocket dimension, a bog where they were left to die.

Pokémon:
Gengar, a Ghost-type that hides in people's shadows to steal the life from them and delights in casting curses on people, said to prey on those who get lost in the mountains. There are a couple of ways to detect its presence — a Gengar in your shadow can be spotted by the sudden chill its life-draining causes, or by seeing your shadow overtake you in the middle of the night. Sometimes, you can just flat-out spot its leer floating in the darkness. Its Pokedex entry from Pokemon Sun is particularly chilling.
Darkrai could be considered as an inversion despite being based on the Bogeyman, as, according to its Pokedex entry, it only creates nightmares if it is threatened.

Wishfart: In the episode "Clip, Clop, We Won't Stop", Dez's childhood baby shoes are brought to life by a wish and make him do a bunch of things from his childhood bucket list, with the last being to get rid of the monster living under his bed. However, the monster was always just a figment of Dez's imagination, so he can't complete it. When the shoes won't leave Dez alone about the last task though, Puffin wishes the monster was real, creating a tentacled Living Shadow that turns everything it touches into nothingness. It ultimately turns out to be a projection created by the shoes themselves, as the imagined monster had just been shadows projected by the young Dez placing his shoes in front of his night light with a fan turned on.

Magic: The Gathering: Innistrad, a plane inspired chiefly by gothic horror, has a thriving population of these things lurking in the shadow and the woods, ranging from restless spirits to much darker and older entities.
The card Bump in the Night depicts a dark, shrouded figure with a single g-glowing eye standing in front of a window at night.
Old Stickfingers is an ancient entity that has become a feared boogeyman among the people of Lambholdt, who know him as a shadowy figure that lurks in the darkness and waits for the right moment to carry you off. He tends to ambush his victims from behind, and has the uncanny ability to seem right behind you even when you're facing him directly. In person, he's an amalgamation of every child's nightmares, an almost-real conglomeration of inconstant, monstrous traits, a killer made of fear.

The Secret World and its spin-off The Park feature a bogeyman haunting the abandoned Atlantic Island Park, feeding off the fear and terror of unsuspecting visitors. Text messages from faction contacts reveal that the Bogeymen are a Dying Race, having once been found in every closet and under every bed up until Secret Worlders started rooting them out; however, at first it's not certain how this particular Bogeyman decided to take up residence at the park. It turns out that he's actually Nathaniel Winter, the millionaire behind the park's construction; having discovered a Place of Power which he could use to imbue himself with magical powers and immortality, he built the park there as part of a bizarre scheme to unlock the power by harnessing the joy of park guests; it worked... but the power he unlocked transformed him into a Bogeyman.

Bioshock 2: The Big Sisters serve as this both in Rapture and on the surface. In There's Something In The Sea, they've become legendary for stealing children from all along the coastlines of the Atlantic, breaking into houses in the middle of the night and leaving behind only a vague glimpse of an unusually skinny figure haloed with a glowing red light retreating into the distance. In Rapture, they're actively feared by the inhabitants as brutal enforcers of Lamb's rule, targeting any who dare interfere with the Little Sisters. For good measure, Henry Hall's "Here Comes The Boogeyman" can be heard playing around Rapture from time to time...

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal has many parodies about parents' weird responses to kids complaining about monsters under their beds (eg. one monster comes out to complain about how the father started lecturing about the relativity of "under"), or the parents themselves pretending to be monsters that invade the kids' bedroom, etc. One specific comic even had a girl complaining that there wasn't a monster under her bed, since she was living in an age where everything mysterious or magical had been given physical explanations. Her father gets her to go to sleep by telling her about the space roar, a powerful radio signal hitting the earth with no known source.

Indeed, in the prequel Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the Heartless are well nigh absent in most areas (with the less deadly Unversed being the main enemies). Unfortunately, by the time the games take place, they've eaten their way out from the shadows and infest almost all outdoor areas, leaving the untrained protagonist Sora dumped into hostile environments with Things That Go Bump in the Night constantly homing in on him.

A straight example from Lost Tapes: an episode starts off with a kid worried about sounds he's hearing in the walls in the fixer-upper house his parents just bought, and he sees the door to his closest open all by itself—when he's gone, it closes by itself, too. At night, something comes out of the closet and frightens him, stealing his teddy bear in the process. Much later, when he walks down into the basement to find a missing exterminator, he and his parents come under direct attack by ferocious vampires.

Naturally, the Broadway production of The Addams Family has an inversion. Pugsley can't sleep because the monster under his bed isn't there. (It shows up after Morticia gives him some motherly comfort.)

One short sketch on Robot Chicken has a kid hiding under his blankets from two monsters. The monsters sadistically pretend for a moment that this has worked, then laugh and start pounding on the blanket with baseball bats.
In another sketch, a father gets tired of his son complaining there's a Boogeyman and asking for a glass of water, so he hides in the closet without the kid knowing to prove there is no Boogeyman. To his horror, he finds out the real reason his son needs a glass of water is because he plays very...naughty games with his teddy bear.
One sketch has a monster realtor showing a monster couple under a boy's bed. They are overjoyed over the fact he scares easily and is a bed-wetter, much to the boy's, who is awake and hearing this, chagrin.

The Closet (2022): The creature hiding in Jamie's closet in the apartment in New York City is some pitch black Humanoid Abomination that barely looks taller than Jamie does. Still, Jamie fears it with his very being. Thom assures Jamie that, since they're moving to Portland, he'll be far away from the closet and never have to worry about it again. At the end of Issue #2, the closet appears in Mack's house, and the creature drags Jamie away into it.

Tiny Toon Adventures:
Referenced in one episode where Buster and Babs were scaring each other so they could introduce the show. At one point, Buster comes out of a closet wearing a Classical Movie Vampire costume behind Babs, and says "Bump."
In another episode, monsters who scare kids consider having to do so to Sneezer one of the worst jobs, and the unlucky one who ends up doing it becomes scared of him. Afterwards, he starts to think about going to night school to learn how to be a tooth fairy or an Easter bunny or "some other imaginary creature".

A very young Seth Green starred in an episode of Tales from the Darkside where he has to battle a bunch of monsters in his room: a closet-ogre, an under-the-bed tentacle, even a living saw blade. In the end, the monsters are all terrified of him. He also appeared in an Amazing Stories episode wherein his Voodoo Babysitter called up similar beasties ( a Jumbie) to ensure good behavior from him and his brother.

The stop-motion animated series Bump in the Night has as the main protagonist a small green monster called Mr. Bumpy that lives under a young boy's bed and eats socks and dust-bunnies. His best friend is a blue slime monster that lives in the house's bathroom (and is a bit of a neat-freak). Neither of them is scary, and Mr. Bumpy acts more like a traditional boggart (trickster) than anything else. There is, however, a scary closet monster made up of dirty clothes, with coat-hanger claws and a washing-basket shell like a turtle.

Minecraft: When the sun sets, you'd better be inside behind a locked door or bury yourself in a cave with a nice bright torch because that's when all the monsters come out. While there isn't a lot of bumping, there is a great deal of groaning, rattling, hissing and cackling. And think twice before you sleep in a bed to skip ahead to sunrise — a glitch can give enemy mobs access to your house. Imagine waking up, crawling out from under the covers. 'Time for breakfast' you mumble to yourself as you open you eyes an- TSSSS BOOM.

In "Go to Sleep, Roys Bedoys!", Roys thinks there is a monster under his bed due to hearing noises, but it turns out to only be the wind.
In "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Roys Bedoys!", Loys mistakes the shadow of a tree branch in his room for that of a monster hand, then later thinks he can hear the monster but it's just the ice machine, the wind, and a pigeon.

Doctor Who has the Doctor fighting a few of these guys. Primarily in the new series, this being a Creator Thumbprint of Steven Moffat, but there are some classic examples too:
"Fury from the Deep" involves a sickly adult woman stuck in her bedroom, becoming obsessed with a mesmerising knocking sound coming from her wall that appears to be causing the sickness. No-one believes her about the knocking and she's accused of being hysterical.
"Terror of the Autons" features a being that can make plastic objects come to life and kill you, which mercilessly exploits a child's fears of their cheap plastic toys moving around when the lights are off.
The Clock Punk robot under Reinette's bed in "The Girl in the Fireplace". Which led to this Badass Boast from the Doctor:
The little girl in "Fear Her" has a horrible, booming-voiced thing in her wardrobe that she's terrified of. He turns out to be a drawing representing her (dead) abusive father.
"Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead": The Vashta Nerada. They're beings made of pure shadow (or, at least, manifest themselves that way), and are, according to the Doctor, the reason most intelligent species have a few of the dark.
The shapeshifting alien criminal behind the crack in Amy's wall in "The Eleventh Hour".
"Night Terrors" is based entirely around an odd twist on this trope, as the Things Going Bump are the result of an omniphobic kid unknowingly being a very powerful Reality Warper.
In "Listen", the Doctor conjectures that there is a species perfectly evolved to hide from view, and that all your fears of the dark, your dreams of something under the bed, your tendency to talk out loud when you know you're alone, come from your peripheral sense of these creatures that are around you all the time. He claims that this is why everyone has the 'same dream' of something grabbing you from under your bed. He's wrong. Or maybe he's right.

Diablo: The Hidden are described as "the boogeymen that haunt our dreams and live in the nightmares of children." Since they're servants of the Lord of Terror, they're one of the few monsters in the original game that match the theme of the Demon Lord they're assigned to. In practice, they're bug-eyed humanoid monsters that stay invisible until they're right next to you, which can be pretty scary.

Jasper of Camp Camp is terrified of the terrible creatures that visit the mansion on Spooky Island on the new moon and bump in the night. The 'creatures' are actually adults who go to the abandoned island to have extremely kinky sex. Jasper is the ghost, and he's none too happy about the living adults who mess around in his (haunted) house.

Monster Hunter: Rise: Goss Harag is based on the namahage, a specific type of oni found around the city of Oga in Akita, Japan. Once a year, namahages would prowl the city looking for any misbehaving children to eat them, and the first quest that pits you against one involves a mother whose child is too scared to use the bathroom on their own at night because of a Goss Harag.

Little Monsters is based on this trope, though the monsters from the under-the-bed dimension are thrive more on mean-spirited pranks than scaring people. They're also apparently all children that followed a monster under the bed and stayed there for over a day. There's also some aspect of losing morality contributing to becoming a monster.

Deadlands: "The Thing Under The Bed" is an actual monster, as is the Bogeyman, which specifically targets children in that they alone can see it, and it delights in letting them watch as it makes mischief that results in people being maimed or killed, but it's naturally shielded from being seen by adults, so nobody believes them.

Gengar, a Ghost-type that hides in people's shadows to steal the life from them and delights in casting curses on people, said to prey on those who get lost in the mountains. There are a couple of ways to detect its presence — a Gengar in your shadow can be spotted by the sudden chill its life-draining causes, or by seeing your shadow overtake you in the middle of the night. Sometimes, you can just flat-out spot its leer floating in the darkness. Its Pokedex entry from Pokemon Sun is particularly chilling.

Russia folklore usually has the legendary witch Baba Yaga fulfilling this role; she likes to kidnap children... and eat them. There is also babay (derived from the Turkic word meaning "old man") who is a generic bogeyman.

Moon Knight hunts a monster like this in one issue, a Fair Folk who uses magic to crawl into our world from under children's beds. Particularly frightening, since it does so in order to literally eat children in their beds. And it looks like this◊. Yeah. Even worse it's a chosen avatar of Khonshu, just like Moon Knight. This makes it clear to Marc that Khonshu isn't quite the odd but benevolent being he thought it was and is instead a strange creature with twisted morality.

IT: Pennywise the Dancing Clown is actually a shapeshifting Eldritch Abomination, but often acts as a boogeyman of sorts when stalking and killing its young victims, either enjoying terrorizing them as it stalks and kills them or feeding on their fear as much as it feeds on their flesh, or both.

In Sandra and Woo a monster that chose the wrong closet in which to hide gets its arm lopped off by Yuna. Regardless of whether this actually happened, it does manage to keep David awake the rest of the night staring at his closet, terrified of the monster coming back for revenge.

Gears of War: The Locust are the basis for Seran legends about these sorts of creatures. Unfortunately, Sera has very real things that go bump (and bite and eat): ravenous little nocturnal fliers called Kryll. Anyone caught alone in pitch darkness on Sera will not see the dawn.

The Strange: The bogeymen that hunt for children in the night and drag them away never to be seen again are real in Magic recursions. However, when children come crying about such monsters to their parents, the narrative that created the recursion demands them to assume that the culprit is a pile of clothes or the wind pushing branches against the glass.

Kingdom Hearts: The Heartless started out as these, according to the first game's Ansem Reports. They lurked in dark places like the rarely-visited, sealed off dungeons under the rather gothic castle at Hollow Bastion.
Indeed, in the prequel Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the Heartless are well nigh absent in most areas (with the less deadly Unversed being the main enemies). Unfortunately, by the time the games take place, they've eaten their way out from the shadows and infest almost all outdoor areas, leaving the untrained protagonist Sora dumped into hostile environments with Things That Go Bump in the Night constantly homing in on him.
Aside from Shadows, Pureblood Heartless (the ones not wearing the heart-shaped emblem) count as this in a way, since they usually only manifest in worlds which are closer to the Realm of Darkness. Since worlds like that are usually The Very Definitely Final Dungeon (or at least, the Disc-One Final Dungeon), they're a lot tougher than their emblem-wearing cohorts. And while the Emblem Heartless are mostly adorable and huggable, the Purebloods... aren't.

The Nightmare Before Christmas:
The opening sequence, which pans through Halloween Town to show its various ghoulish, ghostly, and long-leggety denizes, features a number of these, such as an unseen monster beneath a bed; a hulking, snake-fingered figure in a hallway closet, and an animated shadow passing over the moon.
The film's main antagonist, Oogie Boogie, is a sack man filled with terrible things, such as insects and snakes. He refers to himself as the Boogie Man once:
