Lying awake, I started thinking about mini-goncharovs— stories by single authors that create movies that don’t exist in reality. I’m sure I listed four, but at the moment I can only recall three:

Hyperboloids of Wondrous Light 

The King In Yellow (1949)

Well, Goncharov wasn't by a single author.

There is, of course, Night Beats, but it's not a movie and not by a single author.
