What about the skinned dog in Needful Things.That movie kicked much ass by the way.

Peace

[Jason Lives]

Hell yeah I hate that! At least Jason is gentle with dogs. A dog survived in part 8 and I think in part 2.

[teenkiller]

No I don't hate it. I was glad to see those dogs die. Children shouldn't survive either. They get on my nerves. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

Yeah I kinda wanted to see the annoying kids get it in Jason Lives. Oh well

[Raw Chili]

I hate it when Dogs bite the dust in flicks, Dogs kick ass. I really felt bad for the dog and the owner in Jaws.

lol, You're the man TK. I agree completely.

[DeadByDawn]

How about the thing The Thing?

[walking meatloaf]

what about ginger snaps,thats not a very dog friendly movie

[Candyman666]

I love dogs, I have a little Rottweiler named Damien, and I had a chocolate lab named Candyman http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif. Whenever dogs die, it really bothers me. Like it ruined Hollow Man for me when he killed that dog. And it seems like a dog dies in every other Halloween movie! What the fuck?!

Hooray for me (and for dogs goddammit!)

A dog died in the Toxic Avenger. It wasn't the sickest dog death, but it did get shot.

[Harry Hood]

Not exactly horror, but i'd be damned if not every kid doesn't tear up when they take old yeller out back...

[myers67]

A dog died in JAWS I didn't know that.

The only time a dog should die is if its evil like Cujo.

[Cyclonus]

The one in Alien 3 is the greatest dog death of all time!

[Cabrini Green]

Yep dogs have it rough as well in the genre. Ruthie's dog in Candyman gets it messy while the Tall Man runs over a dog with his hearse in Phantasm Oblivion. The worst has to Francesa's dog in Bride of Re-Animator. First being flung around by a zombie police detective then being reanimated by West with a human arm.

It was rough seeing Atticus Finch shoot the rabid dog in To Kill A Mockingbird as well.

That scene bothered me. I have a soft spot for labrador retrievers, and to see one with its entrails hanging out was tough to sit through.

MINOR SPOILER FOR AMERICAN PSYCHO

Another "canine cruelty" scene takes place in American Psycho. After stabbing a bum, Patrick stomps a small dog to smithereens.

PS-Puppies are a thousand times cuter than babies!

[stevereno]

in FEAR when toby's dog has its head cut off and put through the doggy dog. very disturbing

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[peacemaker]

Dog named "Thor" gets some claws in "bad Moon", I really liked that because that dog survived it and beat the fucking werewolf.

[Jason Voorhees]

Agreed. Babies are (to me) ugly and annoying. Sorry, It's just how I feel. They can be cute on occasion though.

[Antonio]

Three Golden Retrievers: Toby in AFRAID OF THE DARK, Gordon in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 4, and the puppy in SINGLE WHITE FEMALE.

Also, the German Shepherds in HALLOWEEN and FEAR, the Huskies in THE THING remake (damn you, John Carpenter!), and that poor dog in THE FLY II!

My dog Pepper died (of congestive heart failure) in February, so I have a soft spot for canine kills in any movie...but the horror genre has been especially cruel to man's best friend.

[Romero&Juliet]

I HATe dog deaths in horror movies. It really makes me sick.

~~There are a few that really bothered me..

~~CANDYMAN DOG DECAPITATION!!! I cannot stand to watch that entire scene..

~~In The Doom Genoration, there's a scene where a character slits a dog's throat. The first time I saw that scene i Cried. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/frown.gif

~~The dog strangling scene in Either Halloween 1 or 2. I think it's oart one though...

[Helen]

i can't remember any dogs dying in a movie... but it would be sad anyway.... sniff... sniff..

[stevereno]

jesus, i just saw BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR one of the worst dog kills i have seen.

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[Utter]

Man, Michael meyers has issues, he is cool and all but I wouldn't have a dog strangled by a chain at my house, man I like max the canine tramp according to the annoying Tina the most of any dogs of Halloween 5 including sundae.

[CrAzYChIcK13]

In FEAR when the dog's head gets put through the doggy door. It was very grusome.

[Razorblade Smile]

How about the little half-dogs from Return of the Living Dead? They were actually pretty fucking funny looking.

The only dog death that really bothered me was when Kevin Bacon slammed that dog against the wall in Hollow Man.

[edit]

Not horror but how about the dog getting killed in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION?
That was a nasty one. ;)

[psychopath]

3 words:
ALL OF THEM!!!

*********SPOILERS FOR SIGNS**********

when Morgan kills the crasy dog with the stake fork and then the other god is heard yelping off camera

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[Evil Spike]

dont forget about the Max getting killed by the T-1000 in the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

[Antonio]

Yeah, the dog deaths in SIGNS were especially cruel (and my only beef with this otherwise superior film). I mean, I would never have left my dog in the yard or barn or wherever. I understand Rory Culkin's self-defense kill of the male German Shepherd, but the Hess family could have taken Isabelle into the basement with them during the finale.

It certainly was, but Herbert West gives it life....along with a human arm!

[Candyman666]

I'd much rather see a dead human than a dead canine. Call me crazy, that's just the way I am. I think because people are generally selfish, pretentious bastards (excluding the people on the board of course), while a dog is just this innocent little creature, all furry and oblivious to the evil of the world.

This post makes me sound a lot more cynical than I really am.

Hooray for me.

[Cyclonus]

Not exactly horror but another good one is the T-1000 offing Max in T2. (Special edition only)

[Spider-Man]

Well, what about the dog Bateman kills!?

"You know what a loser you are?"
STAB

Dog Barks
Foot goes up

Dog Yelps
CRUNCH!!

[adidas12185]

Definitely Alien 3 imo, that entire sequence was intense and kinetic. An alien exploding out of that dog during a speech.

[Cyclonus]

Yes, I think despite its many flaws, Alien 3 was a good piece of art that's been pissed on for too long!

[Scully1888]

&lt;PET SEMATARY 2 SPOILERS... AND IT'S NOT A DOG DYING http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif&gt;

Hey, FUCK DOGS!

And why haven't there been many cat deaths (that's CAT deaths, not COT deaths, before someone reads it wrong and calls me sick)?

I can probably count on one or two hands how many cat deaths I've seen in a horror. You'd think with the amount of "cat scares" you get, at least a couple of them'd get the chop.

However, the only ones I can think of at this precise moment is the kittens in Pet Sematary 2.

[Cabrini Green]

While cats usually aren’t in as much danger as dogs and usually serve as a scare they aren’t immune to death in horror movies. It is weird because I am more effected by animal deaths then human ones in the movies.

In Argento’s Inferno, the shop owner abusing all those cats is tough for me to watch. In Alice, Sweet Alice, Alice throws one of Alfonso’s cats through the air to escape a precarious situation while he screams that she killed it. Of course Megan’s cat Rufus gets experimented on by West in Re-Animator. “Don’t expect it to boogie, it’s got a broken back.” Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers isn’t a cat friendly movie but they do team up in the end to attack the woman.
To get back on topic I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Prince the doberman in The People Under the Stairs

[iRottenCotton]

Lots of cats get F'ed up in SleepWalkers.

[Mr. Movie Man]

I agree with Candyman...

[teenkiller]

Personally I don't think any dog kill is a bad dog kill. Its a ballsy move that I appreciate. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.
