Why just as antagonists? But well ...

One of the best monsters out there is a human being. A nice guy. No-one expects (i.e the reader) that he is a monster. A well known pattern with uncountable variations--use them.

Reading mythology of all kind (Greek, Northern, Indian) is a good source for monsters (Tolkien has proved that).

When your kid next time is afraid of that monster in the closet, don't tell him "No, there is none, I'll show you." Ask, what is so frightening. How does the monster look like?

Insects. Get a book, look them up. Magnified they are really terrifying.
