Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock "Suspense, thrills, serial killers, psychopaths of all kinds and a penchant for cool blondes – Alfred Hitchcock is known to the general public above all as the "Master of Suspense". Hitchcock has made his distinguishing mark out of the pleasure of fear. He was a fascinating screen magician and also a television star who mastered both comic and terrifying effects. But what do we know about the real Hitchcock? In his last public appearance, "Hitch" thanked the woman who was all in one for him: wife, mother of their daughter, co-screenwriter, editor and lifelong partner – Alma Reville. Behind the famous silhouette were actually two Hitchcocks, Hitch and Alma. From the first day of their meeting until the end of their lives, the two inseparables conceived masterpieces that wrote film history in true collaboration. The new Hitchcock biography sheds a new light on the legendary director through this symbiotic relationship."
"Now in the movie The Birds, John Wayne could have starred in that, but the story line would have taken a decidedly different turn, and there would have been a bunch of dead birds lying around in the streets of Bodega Bay a whole lot sooner."
A truly horrifying tourist attraction: The creepy replica of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho house on the Met Museum rooftop (2016) "Those afraid of heights will have a double scare heading up to the roof of New York's Met Museum this summer." "Standing on the rooftop of the iconic Fifth Avenue museum is a 30ft replica of the home of psychotic murderer Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, Psycho." "Created by British artist Cornelia Parker, the sculpture initially looks like a real house but the clever copy is actually made up of two wooden facades made from a dismantled red barn in up-state New York, so visitors need not run for the hills." "The seeds of the idea for Parker's horrifying folly, whose frontage is supported by scaffolding that can withstand winds of up to 100 miles per hour, grew from paintings by US artist Edward Hopper - which inspired the design of the house in Hitchcock's thriller - and classic red barns in rural America, which the artist wanted to somehow include in the piece." "Parker revealed to Dezeen that one of her main aims when creating the spooky sculpture was to create a contrast between the Manhattan skyline and the roof of the museum." "Parker said: 'When I saw the roof and the skyline, I knew I wanted to make something architectural. I read that the Psycho house was based on Hopper's House by the Railroad, so the red barn and the Psycho house became merged.' The sculpture will be on view to the public until October 31 2016."
My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock review – Mark Cousins puts words in Hitch’s mouth "On one level a revealing study of Hitchcock’s work, this documentary goes a step too far by imagining the director’s inner thoughts, as voiced by impressionist Alistair McGowan."

Psycho, She Wrote..... October 3, 2017 — Remember that time Jessica Fletcher went psycho? I’m not talking about the theory that the star of Murder, She Wrote was really a serial killer, despite how much absolute sense that theory makes. Why did somebody die everywhere this middle-aged novelist went? On vacation? Dead body. Work trips? Dead body. Visiting relatives? Dead body. And then there was the little matter of her small, idyllic home town of Cabot Cove, Maine, which boasted more murder victims than actual residents. No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the time that Jessica Fletcher found herself in Norman Bates’s home stabby home. The Psycho House. Debuting in January 1992, the episode is called, innocuously enough, Incident in Lot 7. It’s episode 13 of season eight and written by J. Michael Straczynski, the guy who gave us many of the best The Real Ghostbusters episodes and the mastermind behind Babylon 5. It starts out perfectly. Fletcher, a famous mystery writer, has had her latest book, The Messengers of Midnight, optioned by a studio and comes to Hollywood, with all the clichés that entails: Instrumental audio of Hooray for Hollywood, costumed character-filled back lots, and, of course, limos. And out of the first limo we see, the on driving onto the Universal Studios lot, pops Mrs. Fletcher. Suddenly the music changes to the theme from Alfred Hitchcock Presents and a suspiciously rotund man in a suit crosses the street like he’s just some ordinary extra. It was going to be this kind of episode. (READ MORE)
