I hope I made my point
I actually thought the guest room was the best execution of a monster spawn in the entire game. It wasn't your traditional "Oh I hear music, let's hide and wait for it to go away" tactic. The music played there was kinda a "hey hide now" type of thing and when the monster went away, you can hear a door open and close. This made me think that they could open level doors for a while. Come to think of it, that would be a great idea to add in custom stories.
Personally, I think monsters should be able to open closet door, but only if they hear you inside of it (low santiy heavy panting, moving, etc) And for the whole random spawning idea; lore-wise, the gatherers are searching for you so this would make sense and plus it would make everyone's experience different and that is a great thing.
I also wish that they trashed the musical cues when a monster spawns and instead only have that spawn roar to tell you that danger is lurking.
