Well, be careful what you what you wish for, or like the young man in tonight's terror tale, you may just '''get it!''' I call this nauseating number: '''Loved to Death.'''
Edward Foster is an aspiring screenwriter who has developed a massive crush on Miranda Singer, a struggling actress in the apartment across the hall who doesn't want anything to do with him. In an effort to finally obtain Miranda's love, Edward buys a love potion from his landlord, the woman-hating Mr. Stronham, and slips it into Miranda's glass when he's invited over for a drink. The love potion takes an almost-instant effect, and Miranda becomes plagued by an uncontrollable infatuation for Edward and a nonstop sex drive. Overwhelmed by what he's brought upon himself, Edward goes back to Stronham, who presents an... extreme solution to Edward's new problem.

Here, Edward accidentally drinks the poison himself, dies, and goes to FluffyCloudHeaven, only for Miranda to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] and join him, trapping him with her in the afterlife instead of in earthly life.

* AntiHero: Given the underhanded methods he uses to obtain Miranda's love, and his behavior when invited into her apartment, it's clear that Edward is NOT a hopeless romantic pining for her affection, but a dorky and perverted stalker who desperately wants sex with her.
* AuthorAvatar: Edward's script, when visualized to the audience, has him appear as the male lead. As expected from a pathetic and perverted loser like him, his character is an absolute MartyStu who his wife Louise (appearing as Miranda) endlessly praises. Once he drugs Miranda and the script basically becomes reality, he finds that it isn't as pleasurable as he imagined it.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her shrill voice and aggressive nature, Miranda did have her moments of kindness before ingesting the potion. When she throws Edward out of her apartment for reading her mail, she apologizes and invites him to have a drink later. When she returns that night with another man, she recognizes her insensitivity the next day and invites him for a drink. And then when she tells him that he can't be her girlfriend because he doesn't have money or a job at the moment, she lets him know that she personally has nothing against him but she herself needs work and money, so she's making an executive decision.
