* In ''Film/PumpkinheadIIBloodWings'', Mayor Bubba tries to stop the sheriff from killing Pumpkinhead because he thinks having an unstoppable demon rampaging around the town would be good for tourism.

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'': [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3583 SCP-3583]] resembles a school bus that shows up at the end of every school day and requires a certain number of children to board it, mentally compelling them to do so if necessary, then transports them through hellish alternate versions of the town. Or if enough adults board it first takes them on a tour around the future site of a historical mass casualty event, such as visiting Pompeii before the eruption. When agents get around to checking out the reports they discover that they no longer want it gone. It does drive its passengers home and lets them off (physically) unharmed, and for a poor public school a free self-driving bus is worth putting up with some quirks.
--> '''Principal:''' With what we've saved since this thing showed up, we were able to hire a ''music teacher''.
