* In a tech-free variant, the bungalow shootout in ''[[Near Dark]]'' turns the vampires' hideout ''into'' a Sunlight Hallway, as bullet holes in the walls allow beams of skin-searing light to penetrate and crisscross the room.

* ''[[AI Is a Crapshoot|The God Machine]]'' by [[Martin Caidin]] used a slice-and-dice Laser Hallway to kill several men trying to sneak in and shut the computer down.

* One episode of ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]'' had presumably-deadly lasers that switched on only as a barrier to hold the victim in place while an apparently sonic weapon activated and killed him.
