Shane

Background

Shane is Rogers pet dog.

During the events of Tales from the Crypt (1972)

Rogers and Shane arrive at the Elmridge Home for the Blind. An Attendant greets Rogers, who corrects him and tells him he is Major Rogers. The Attendant takes him to his office and when he sees no paintings on the walls mentions going to buy some at an art gallery. Carter and some residents barge into Rogers office, where Rogers is enjoying a multi-course meal with wine. Rogers tells them he is in charge and when Carter knocks over Rogers' wine bottle, Rogers sics Shane on him and Carter and the other residents run out of the office. Rogers then feeds Shane part of his steak. Shane starts to follow a trail of meat until he is trapped in a closet in the basement. After two days, Rogers door is unlocked and he finds the basement now a tunnel with chicken wire and wood. He makes his way across the tunnel towards an open door, which closes when he gets to it. He then heads in another direction but pulls back when he is cut and the lights come on revealing the tunnel walls to be covered in razor blades. Rogers makes it to the end of the tunnel and as he does Shane is released and charges at Rogers. The lights go out and Rogers is eaten by Shane.
