Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was inspired by "The Devil's Platform", the seventh episode (of 20 total) of the horror TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974); however, the film's producers could not get permission to continue the storyline from the TV episode, so they opted to do a new one. Also, Tom Skerritt was in talks with Ridley Scott to do the film Alien (1979) and was unavailable for this film, so its producers offered the role of Mike Barry to Richard Crenna.
- GoofsWhen Lucky is chasing Betty through the house, upstairs a door closes behind the two of them. When the door closes, you can see a crew member through the crack of the door shutting it behind them as they enter.

Featured review
I remember watching this movie on TV back on Halloween night, 1978, after finishing Trick-or-Treating. A long time ago. "Devil Dog" has an excellent cast, and a fun, yet spooky tale of a normal middle-class family falling under demonic possession. The best part is when the father hears his children chanting bizarre hymns in the attic at 3am. He goes to investigate, and is shocked at what he finds.
