Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway (1993)
Animal Action
Elaine’s constant companion is her small terrier Doo. He is seen at various times either in her arms or on a leash, or lying on the floor nearby. At one point, he barks to warn her of imminent danger as a wrecking crane ball swings in her direction. The ball kills Elaine as Doo runs off barking. This scene was shot in cuts with the dog filmed separately. The dog, who was on leash, was never in any danger and was controlled by the trainer or actress at all times. The dog was not fearful, but was responding to hand signals with food as a reward. One night Paige, Mitch, and Russell go to where the Ouija board has told them Susan’s body is buried. They hear the sounds of someone or something following them. Mitch fires his gun into the darkness and then holds up what they thought was stalking them. It turns out to be a dead raccoon. This scene was shot in cuts. The sounds of Mitch’s gunfire is heard as he shoots the gun off- camera. What he holds up is a taxidermied raccoon which was rented from a prop rental house.
