I suspect "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" was the first movie that revived a dead
monster at the beginning, for better or worse spawning monster sequels.
I remember seeing it decades ago. As I recall, the last scene has the wolfman pulling the Frankenstein monster over a waterfall. I also seem to remember a "sequel" where someone finds both the wolfman and the monster frozen in ice. Am I hallucinating? :)
Then again, the description of "House of Frankenstein"(1944) seems to describe that in one scene.
I believe that that's the one! It's funny how I won't remember something that happened a week ago, but I can remember a scene from a movie I haven't seen in over forty years.
A little boy fleeing a bunch of bullies steals a book and escapes into a the tale of two jilted lovers who spend fifteen years of marriage together, only to find that they might no longer love each other. As he reads, the boy learns that the events of the book are really happening, and he has a role to play in the outcome.

Ok. It's got a lot of detail, so I was confused at first. It sounds like 3 movies or shows because "Big Trouble in Little China" is that kind of movie. While humming the theme song, I was eventual

There were all kinds of movies later, but I'm not aware of one that included the scene you mentioned.
There may well have been one, I didn't see all of them.

In this TV movie, a band of dwarves jumps from era to era looking for treasure to steal. They wind up in Storybrooke, ME, where fairy tales are real.

I've probably heard of both movies, but I can't think of them.

Right, I had the first one but not the second.
So, let's take a guess here....
"The Neverending Story of Us"???

Here's a triple.
In this movie, a lawyer faces reprisals from an insane former client of his who was convicted,
but now has been paroled.
He attempts to evade the ex-convict- by accompanying a gonzo journalist on a
road trip.
Then he celebrates his family's survival by taking them on a trip to somewhere
he visited with the journalist.

I assume that the last one is Vegas Vacation, but I don't know the others. Apparently, Raf does...

The first movie is well-known, at least the remake was. Mrs Wolf rattled off the name from the description.
The phrase "gonzo journalism" and "gonzo journalist" points to exactly one person, which means it
points to exactly 1 movie ABOUT that person. He wrote a famous book with the same name the
movie was later given, so the name is particularly famous in a number of contexts.
You are correct about movie #3.

I assume that this would be Hunter Thompson. The only movie I knew about him was "Where the Buffalo Roam," starring Bill Murray.

But Terry Gilliam directed "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I thought you were a Terry Gilliam fan.
