There was a Twilight Zone episode about a guy who could record anything into his tape recorder and it would come true, and he could undo it by throwing the tape into the fire in his fireplace. When Serling finished his closing narration, the guy with the tape recorder said something like, “I’ve had just about enough of you!” and throws a tape into the fire and Serling disappears. I think it’s the only time there was any interaction between him and the characters.
That’s the one. Thanks!
The hudsucker proxy did this a bit
I feel like this needs a lot more full stops.
Alan wake sorta has similar vibes with Zane and Wake having control over their world through their writing and using that to twart the antagonist, and with Wake as the narrator. It even has an in-universe expy of the Twilight Zone. It is a video game though, and doesn’t have the comedic aspect.
This is pretty similar to the MCU’s What If…? series

I think something like this happened in the Series of Unfortunate Events tv show but it’s been a while since I watched
I’d watch the shit out of this.
Turns out it’s man
I’d definitely watch the S#it out of a Twilight Zone or a Night Gallery remake - since many of the originals were kind of tepid and held back on the horrors. Today I think they could do so much more. NOT a Tales from the Crypt type of grisly, but more of a twisty, scary, atmospheric, maybe a bit gory type of thing. Night Gallery had some corkers and potential - it just needs a good time slot.
That was kinda exhausting. Is this a 3 hour movie?
