Okay, "Hell Hounds" sounds like a bit much. Basically, this post is dedicated to all those dogs that make appearances in my favorite October films. Some are lovable, some are maybe evil, some are doomed, some give warnings, and some are awesome! Hit it! Spoilers and stuff below, beware!
Rusty, Planet Terror
The beloved companion of J.T., owner of the restaurant where zombies come a-knocking. Unfortunately he bites the dust, but he'll live on in our hearts forever!
Houdini and Isabelle, Signs
Poor dogs, both casualties of the alien invasion! Well, Houdini died at the hands of his owners after trying to attack little Bo, but he was on edge! The ALIENS were coming!
The dog on the bridge, Beetlejuice
What a little stinker! He just HAD to step off that board and send the Maitlands to the afterlife. Ah well, without him we wouldn't have a story, now would we?
Cole's dog, The Sixth Sense
A poor little pup who can sense the supernatural! But he's really cute and doesn't die. Hooray!
Zero, The Nightmare Before Christmas
Best sidekick ever! And he has a glowing little pumpkin nose, how awesome is that?
The Freelings' dog, Poltergeist
PEOPLE. Will you NEVER LEARN? If the dog is answering imaginary commands from the wall, it's time to move.
Bub, ParaNorman
Pet of Norman's friend Neil, Bub is the cutest bifurcated ghost dog you ever saw!
Precious, The Silence of the Lambs
Precious, you little bitch! Just sitting up there yapping away, looking down on your owner's victims! Catherine Martin ended up taking Precious once she was freed from that pit, so the question is....is Precious evil too? Is Catherine Martin's story far from over? Dun dun DUN!
Sparky, Frankenweenie
The ORIGINAL, obviously. You can't keep Sparky down! After getting killed by being hit by a car, his owner resurrected him, Frankenstein-style! How badass is that? And he still keeps his sweet personality, aww.
Snoopy, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Any explanation needed? I thought not.
Who's your favorite? Who did we forget?
I'm partial to Rimshot in Ernest Scared Stupid. and Cujo is pretty cuddly.
