* ''Film/Monster1999'' is an interesting example that fits multiple of the below "categories". The "Monster Films" are an in-universe series of {{B Movie}}s about a [[ToServeMan man-eating alien]] that terrorizes a small American town, which were written by New Purgatory resident (and secondary protagonist) Lloyd Reeves, who also played the heroic protagonist in each film. The films are popular enough that New Purgatory hosts a film festival dedicated to them every three years... and when it does so, [[RefugeeFromTVLand the Monster from those films appears in reality and goes on the rampage]]. This rampage plays out almost identically to one of the Monster films, as the Monster is a RealityWarper whose presence enforces the rules of B-Movies on New Purgatory and its residents. Only Lloyd and his grandson Travis, who as Town Heroes are exempt from this mental influence, are able to fight the Monster and keep it from destroying the town, which requires them to deliberately recall facts and elements established in the in-universe films.
