* [[Spider-Man]]'s former wife Mary Jane was an actress in a soap opera called ''Secret Hospital'' for a while. Her character's name was "Sybil Shane" and from what was shown of the show (which was very little), her character seemed to be a vixen of sorts, the show having pretty every soap opera stereotype included. |

* ''The Demon that Devoured Hollywood'' is a supernatural-themed horror movie that features in two stories in the ''[[Marvel Universe]]: |
|||
** The first was in the horror anthology ''[[Tower of Shadows]]''. The star of the movie, Jason Roland makes a [[Deal with the Devil]], offering his soul for stardom. Part of this deal includes some very realistic make up, making his performance far more convincing and terrifying, but Jason tries to renege on the deal, and is turned into the monster he portrays before being [[Dragged Off to Hell]]. |

** Much later, a minor ret-con reveals that before he became the hero [[Wonder Man]], Simon Richards was a stuntman for the movie. Years later, when the studio plans to remake the movie, Roland appears again as the villainous Hangman, now an emissary for the demon lord Satannish (who had been posing as the actual Devil in the previous story.) As Hangman, Roland takes over the criminal gang the Night Shift, convincing them to help take over the studio so he can remake the movie his way. Although, he later confesses that this was just a personal matter for him, his real goal being to recruit more souls (starting with the Night Shift) for Satannish. |
