A look back at some of Sam the dog’s Halloween incarnations.

Sam claims no familial relationship with werewolves.

Sam may sometimes wonder if he lives with a space alien. Maybe it is because he has an affinity for classic science fiction and horror films. Here just in time for Halloween, three of Sam’s many personalities pose with the aliens from the brilliantly titled 1958 Paramount Studios classic I Married A Monster From Outer Space. And below, a little collection of some of Sam’s other Halloween favorites.

Sam with Christopher Lee as Dracula: Prince of Darkness from Hammer Films, 1966.

Sam poses with the Creature from the Black Lagoon from the 1954 Universal Studios classic film of the same name.

Sam peers inside Lou Costello’s spaceship in the 1953 Universal Studios comedy Abbott & Costello Go To Mars.

Sam peers inside another spaceship, this time the Jupiter 2 from the television show Lost in Space broadcast from 1965-1968. Jonathan Harris as Dr. Zachary Smith, as usual, does not look pleased at all with the circumstances.

Happy Halloween!
