Play Dead (also known as Killer Dog) is a 1981 American horror film directed by Peter Wittman and starring Yvonne De Carlo of The Munsters fame.

De Carlo plays Hester, a wealthy heiress who was jilted years ago by her lover to marry her sister. Using her weapon of choice, a 200 lb. Rottweiler, Hester not only exacts her revenge on her sister and lover, but has now set her sights on the offspring of the ill-fated reunion.

Although the film was shot in 1981, it was not released until 1986. Troma Entertainment currently distributes it.
