Fable series of video games, specifically 2 & 3. Hapless comic relief characters Max and Sam (no relation to Sam and Max) summon up, respectively, a legion of hollowmen, some wraiths, and some ghostly beer.

The Thousand And One Nights aka Arabian Nights is said to drive to madness anyone who reads the entire work.

Really? Since when? Does this mean I've been mad for years?
