After the lights have all been turned out a young boy’s imagination gets the best of him as he begins to envision all sorts of monsters in his home.  The longer he imagines the monsters the more prolific they become.  But then his father comes into the boy’s room and, turning on the lights, he helps his son understand the power he possesses over his monsters.
