Army of Darkness, Army of Light

The flare does indeed disperse the shadow-Vina, and forces the other shadows back into the corners.

Roy points out, "Shadows? Well, I do happen to have a weapon actually made of light, so yeah, I'll take that challenge."

He shines the green light in a beam, brushing all the shadows into a corner and holding them there.

"Vina? Anything you want from these guys?"

But Vina has already noticed the shadows swinging away from the light beam, and followed their angles to a storefront church down the block.

And behind its picture window, a shadow is standing in the assembly hall, gazing malevolently at Vina and stroking its shadowy beard ...

Then shadow witches fly out of the sky, assailing Roy from all directions!
