    Technically, yes, they could.

    If there's a sudden loud noise in the movie, it could startle or frighten the dog. Or even a persistent agitating noise.

    If you have a large TV, and the dog is frightened of men (or a certain physical feature) due to some past trauma, it could mistake the person on the TV as a real person and become uncomfortable. But it's not likely.

    Scary Dog Movies

    I've watched lots of scary movies and I've never once seen my dogs get frightened. If there is a particularly unusual noise, they might prick their ears. That's about it....they know nothing on the TV is real....usually don't even bat an eye if a dog is barking on the TV.

    It's most likely the noise/sound from the scary movie that might be making the dog nervous or frightened. esp if you've got the volume level up.

    I don't like to watch scary movies. I rarely watch such movies. When I feel like watching I watch with my friends but I never watch just before going to bed.

    They cannot understand what is going on in a movie.. nor could they give a sh*t less.

    The most that could happen would be if a loud sudden noise startled them. Thats about the extent of a reaction your going to get.
