Mary's younger self could be hospitalized after an attack by the eponymous monster, only to relive that traumatic event as an adult after her husband's death. Ryan's character may have been blamed for a death in her childhood that was actually the cause under the bed, and this cycle may repeat itself with her husband, thereby forcing her to confront her past. If this is the case, Hiller's American horror stories The character could be an authority figure, such as a police officer or a doctor, who doubts their version of events.
