1974 – Ghostly Haunts – Spoiler alerts
A reporter visits a popular horror story comic writer to find out where he get his ideas for fabulous monsters from – answer, they all live with him.
Except they only exist as far as he has them on paper, so if they start getting out of control he just tears them up and burns their pages so they vanish. When the monsters pursue her the reporter destroys all the papers only to find the writer himself vanishing too, as we are pulled back to outside the Fourth Wall and reminded they are all creations of the story author, Tom Sutton. A clever take on the notion that reality is a figment of some fiendish imagination.

Wouldn't that be nice if we could handle our affairs that same way. People getting to us just tear them up and start over if we like.

This sounds far too complex for my little mind to deal with.
