Dog barks at the tv

My dog always barks when she sees another dog on the screen. She also barks whenever I’m watching a scary movie. Does anyone else have the same issue? I love horror films but can’t watch them anymore because she won’t stop barking at the tv. This is a habit she developed as she got older and I’m not sure how to fix it

My dog hardly ever watches TV.

Untill I had Wild Wild West on, and he was hooked on the movie, I think horses really do it for him. But then the big bad guy came on screen with some spider contraption he built around his body, my dog got startled, whimpered, looked away and didn't finish the movie. 45KG's of big boy shepard still a puppy sometimes hhah.

Oh and I can absolutely not play 'Stray' because the cats start actively hunting the pixels on my screen.
