Twist: monster is good boi and telling the truth that he’s tired. He sick of sleeping alone in woods, and jus wants a night on the comfy couch

Poor sadboi go back to his lonely, dirty cave, fall sleep crying, wake up with back pain :(

Or, that was his real dad and the monster is already living in the house with him.

Monsters these days expect everything handed to them, back in my day they had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and earn a night on a couch!

Pretty much the premise of From

I liked From, but it's basically Lost with night-monsters, and there's nothing new about monsters/vampires requesting permission to enter

There's also Philip K. Dick's classic short story, The Father-Thing.

You what's better than your ol'dad? Two dads!
