Hitchcock Talks Terror

I thought Fridays With Hitchcock would be back today, but got sidetracked by some small screenwriting things. So here is a two part interview with Hitchcock from 1964 where he talks about all kinds of wonderful things, from fairy tale terror to "photgraphs of people talking" vs. pure cinema.

Part 1: Fairy Tales...


Part 2: A Good Cry...


Next Friday - LIFEBOAT. The funny thing is, I have watched a stack of Hitchcock movies and written notes months ago... and then got sidetracked and must rewatch most of the films before I write the blog entry (just to make sure I don't write something stupid) (okay, more stupid than usual). I think I watched MR. & MRS. SMITH in *July*. The original plan was to write just over 1k words per film, which would end up a 60k word book... At this point in time I have written over 60k words! So I may be looking at *2* books. Won't know until I finish the series.

I had planned another series, and still may do it. Problem is, the series was an episode guide to an old TV show not available on DVD... and now it's coming out on DVD! I'm sure someone else will do an ep guide and mine will be semi-pointless. Might do it anyway.
