After looking closely at the real house I see I've never noticed the wood gate before (the one on which the "Beware of Dog" sign is posted).

Here's JL's pic of the entranceway, and below is roughly the same view from the movie (thats Connie running into the house near the end of the film - you can clearly see the wood gate).





I love looking at the real-life scenes and comparing them.... thanks, again, JL.
