* Filipino film ''ComicBook/ZsazsaZaturnnah: Ze Moveeh'' has the villagers, led by the eponymous heroine, doing a musical number on the steps of a church which ends with the crowd forming a cross, which results in vaporizing the invading zombies. And no, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2pe5MqgefY that's not the most outrageous part of this movie.]]

** There's also the special ability limited to the Priest and Knight roles, which affects every undead and demonic creature you can see within a huge AoE. It does no damage, but has a chance to kill outright, and those that survive will flee. However it leaves you a sitting duck for up to five turns, so using it is a bad idea if there's a non-undead enemy nearby.

* "Living" Vampires in ''Literature/IAmLegend'' flee from religious symbols, albeit this seems to be more a psychosomatic reaction due to their previous religious upbringing (a jewish vampire is immune to crosses but fears the "Meguen David").

* In ''VideoGame/AgeOfWonders'', every races' "priest" unit, with the obvious exception of the Undead Doom Priest, gets the Turn Undead ability. The Highmen Paladin (calvary unit) also gets this ability. If it hits, it damages and stuns the target for three turns. It's most useful against the Undead Wraith, a weak unit with physical immunity which is otherwise difficult to even attack for most low level units.

* ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'': [[WhiteMage Aqua]]'s "Turn Undead" and "Sacred Turn Undead" are her only consistently useful combat skills, capable of inflicting heavy damage even to very powerful undead beings. Unfortunately, being TheMillstone of her party, [[MagicIsAMonsterMagnet her holy aura is so strong that lost souls can detect it from vast distances]]... meaning that she's usually the reason ''why'' undead are attacking in the first place.

* ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII'': Legendary Hero of Chaos Harald Hammerstone has an aura that does this, removing the undead attribute from undead, causing them to route (when normally they suffer damage instead of routing), but also preventing them from receiving any kind of vampric healing, be it from spells or a Corpse Cart aura.
