* A particularly ironic [[Fate Worse Than Death]] befalls an escaped Nazi war criminal in an episode of ''[[Night Gallery]]''. He discovers that he has the power to wish himself into paintings (or at least, into ''one'' particular painting at a local art gallery, which features a lone figure in a serene fishing scene). Near the end of the story, when he's on the run from the authorities, he escapes to the museum and tries to wish himself back into the painting-- only to discover that it has been replaced with a scene of the crucifixion of a death-camp inmate. He then gets to spend the rest of eternity trapped in the painting, undergoing perpetual torture as the figure of the inmate. |
