did the monsters attack each other and. if they didnt why not was there some sort of monster sense.

They attacked their captors.
Let's be bad guys.
I think the monsters will attack whoever is put in front of them. They have probably been attacking for a very long time and it wouldn't matter to them who it was.
shareMost of them would seem to have very specific needs. The need to eat. The need for blood. The need to inflict pain. The need to claim souls. The need to horrify. The need to destroy. And so on. Most of those needs wouldn't be met by other monsters. A werewolf or a giant snake isn't likely to find zombies or undying clowns or scarecrow people tasty. Fornicus, Lord of Pain, isn't going to be particularly satisfied by inflicting pain on a mecha-scorpion or an angry molesting tree or even an evil psychotic clown who can't be killed by bullets. Nobody is going to horrify a creature whose very existence is horrifying. For most of these monsters, humans are their natural and appropriate prey. Sure, the unicorn could run the Bride through, or the ballerina could chomp down on the dragon-bat, but these aren't the most obvious or even accessible choices in a giant bunker filled with lots and lots of very scared and very vulnerable humans.
shareAlso, whether it was intentional or not by the filmmakers, I don't know, but the monsters never even acknowledge one another. In fact scene for scene, not only do any monsters ever interact with another monster, not one monster ever even looks at another monster.
Was this type of control the handy work of the Ancient Gods? Stands to reason they ponied up the monsters to induce the suffering. Their program would constantly bog down if their terror machines were interfering with each other.
But then on the other hand, up until this film's timeline, I assume all the monsters never were running loose among each other. Prior rituals, only one monster was free to terrorize the victims. So there would have been no prior scenario where the monsters are face to face.
So I guess we will never really know.

Well, something sent the dragon-bat flying through the window and I doubt it was a bunch of scared scientists.
shareI didn't get the impression the dragon bat was "being chased" when it crashed through the glass, but I suppose it's possible. If it was being chased, there were more armed guards appearing even after the initial wave of guards were slaughtered, so I can't assume it was other monsters that sent the creature flying.
Also, keep in mind after the initial attack, Marty and Dana looked through the window to see what was happening. Did the dragon bat see them looking, came flying towards them not knowing there was glass in between them? Who knows.

I didn't mean it got chased, I meant it looked like it got hit hard and sent flying through the window. There were a few monsters capable of that. But your alternative explanation -- that it was diving for them after spotting them looking over the top of the instrument panel and didn't realize there was a barrier -- works too. I would imagine the blood all over the glass would have made it clear there was a window there, but my hands-on experience with dragon-bats is pretty limited. They might, in fact, be far too stupid to pick up on that hint.
shareThey might, in fact, be far too stupid to pick up on that hint.Possibly. Or it knew there was glass there and intentionally crashed through it to get to the victims. I mean, the thing crashed through a wall to kill a victim also.

Possibly by the giant or the angry molesting tree. Or the kraken. Or a nice kick from the unicorn.So are you suggesting when it crashed through the wall like a bullet in a later scene, it got whacked by another monster also? Poor dragon bat, just wanting to make a few kills, but other monsters keep taking batting practice on it.
I'm for that the bat was thrown through. There were a lot of monsters out there and in the chaos, they can make mistakes.
