Johnny Devil and his girlfriend share a special moment.

Dark Light is the first of Johnny's creations. Although Johnny was the director and producer, his brother James C. Lion was the lead editor of the project. It is a dark slapstick comedy about two suit-clad hoodlums who performed random acts of violence as often as possible. Things change when the main character, played by Johnny, kidnaps a young woman (played by Stacy Hunter), who he eventually falls in love with. After his partner is killed by a local drug lord, The Boss, Johnny deserts his girlfriend for her own good, while seeking revenge against him.

Johnny Devil and his arch-enemy, The Boss, fight a heroic battle on a rooftop.
Dark Light, the first of Johnny's feature-length films, demonstrated his excellence at capturing action, comedy, and drama. Though it was a dark comedy, it lacked the mysterious gothic qualities of his later works. It is still revered by many as a great classic comedic phenomenon. The movie ran sixty minutes in length, and took four hard-working months to create. It was filmed in 1990 in Bremerton and Silverdale. It was originally filmed on Super 8mm sound movie film, but later transferred to VHS.
