   Yikes! Did you ever see the 1970s version of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS? For my money, far and away the scariest moment in it was near the end, when a little dog is running around wearing a rubber mask that looks like a human face.

   Yes, that’s one of my favorite movies . . but how am I not remembering the dog scene? For me, the scariest moment is at the end, when Donald Sutherland points and makes that . . SOUND!

   The dog scene is very brief, maybe half a second long. It’s toward the end when they’re outside trying to get away, the dog comes running up, they glance down, see the dog wearing a mask, and are startled. It’s never explained.

   I found your scene, and you’re in for a surprise:

   My theory is the “dog” is one of a number of “dogs” used by the aliens to ferret out bodies that have yet to be snatched.

   That’s interesting. To me, it still looks like a dog wearing a rubber mask, but I certainly agree it may just have been cheap special effects.

   It looked real to me.
