Someone posted this question at my site:

"Impossible request here. When I was 4 or 5, I got up from bed and walked into the living room where my parents were watching a late night movie. It was a horror sci-fi piece of some sort. All I remember is a dog walking towards the camera and when it got near I realized it had a human head. That scene must have made quite an impression because I still remember it today. So… pre-1984 sci-fi/horror, mutant dog with human head. It’s not much of a description, but do you have any clues?"

I was thinking it sounded like it could be from THE THING--I know that had some animal/human hybrids in it.  But I haven't seen the movie.  Can anyone confirm that it's THE THING, or if not, tell me what it is?

It sounds to me like that scene from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)" when Matt & Liz are trying to blend in.

A clip of this scene is also featured in "Terror in the Aisles (1984)".

This clip is from The invasion of the body snatchers. It has a human faced dog in it. Is this it?

It may also be the MEPHISTO WALTZ (1971).

Lil' Cerb & Cthulu, I bet a hefty sum that's what he's remembering!  I'll ask him to confirm.

That's it!  He writes:

"Brilliant! That is the scene I remember! I must get this movie. Thanks you very much. It feels so weird to have this memory for 25+ years and then finding out where it came from."

Karma to Lil' Cerb for getting it first and to Cthulhu for confirming it with the youtube!
