Hey but I dunno about the semi-colon - seems like a bit of a wrong usage of it...

An art school reject comes face to face with real-live versions of his own creations and he is the only one who can stop their destruction.

Interesting. When I read this one I instantly thought of the recent kids film "Goosebumps" which has a very similar plot.
I would have summarized it like this:
"Famed reclusive writer R.L. Stine is the only one who can stop his nightmarish characters after his teenage daughter and their neighbor accidentally bring them to life."
But I just checked the IMDb and this is what they had on there:
"A teenager teams up with the daughter of young adult horror author R. L. Stine after the writer's imaginary demons are set free on the town of Madison, Delaware."

Yeah, but those aren't loglines. A logline isn't something you write to communicate the basic story to general audiences. A logline is specifically for filmmakers communicating with other filmmakers, or more specifically, a screenwriter trying to sell a script.
I don't think this is true. Loglines are designed to be the shortest and most effective expression of what the film is about, to anybody reading it. Why would it be different whether a filmmaker were reading it, or a potential audience member? Your pitch to a studio should make them want to watch the movie, essentially making them a potential audience member.
What you said just makes no sense to me.
Either way, once a potential financier or audience member hears the logline, if they want to know more about it, they read the synopsis.
Great points!
