Pet dogs snuggled up with a blanket over their heads while watching a horror movie.

Footage shows the Shih Tzu pooches Moji and Chacha, both four-years-old, fixated on the screen where the Hollywood slasher film 'Child's Play' was being played in Manila, the Philippines on October 18.

Moji and Chacha were silent when Chucky, the serial killer doll, appeared on the device.

Pet owner Chelsea Lim said she was choosing what movie to watch when she noticed the two canines appeared interested in the moving and talking doll.

Chelsea said: 'I was about to relax at home after work. They love anything with dogs, cats, or dolls, so I played the one with Chucky.

'When Chucky would show up, their eyes would get super big. It was as if they understood what was happening.'

'Child's Play' is a horror movie franchise that began in 1988. The plot centres around Chucky, a seemingly innocent doll that becomes possessed by the spirit of a serial killer named Charles Lee Ray.
