No ordinary damsel in distress, Hitchcock's leading lady was cool and regal, with a knack for survival—in most cases that is. In homage to 'The Master of Suspense' on his birthday, here are 14. This is the collection for every fan of The Master, Alfred Hitchcock. I had this collection on DVD but traded up to Blu Ray. It was less expensive than the US set, and I think it looks a lot better in the clear plastic case with the birds on it. Not all the Hitchcock films are in here, but most of the great ones are. What happens in our brains while we watch a movie by Alfred Hitchcock, master of suspense? During moments of high excitement, the calcarine sulcus — a brain area that receives and processes visual information — narrows our field of vision and, when calm is returned, broadens our field of view, a study from Georgia Institute of Technology finds. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter. A wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.

The 20 greatest Alfred Hitchcock movies
Camrose alberta casino bingo. The 50-year filmmaking career of Alfred Hitchcock began in the silent era and concluded in the New Hollywood of the 1970s, where young filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma were paying tribute to cinema's Master of Suspense with wildly dissimilar thrillers like 'Jaws,' 'Taxi Driver' and 'Obsession.' Those three movies perfectly reflected the full range of Hitch's work. It's remarkable the ease with which he segued from classically-staged suspense films to adventure yarns to searingly personal psychological thrillers. Hitch could do it all, and he did it prolifically, sometimes turning out two movies a year. With tat all in mind, let's toast the very best works from his 53-film oeuvre.

ALFIE IS YOUR HOST IN HIS GRAND HOTEL OF HORRORS
He's gone out of his way to make your stay a delightfully uncomfortable one. No fiendish pains have been spared to assure you a perfect night's sleeplessness.
Every guest is assured of a working ghostly light at bedside, easy access to hot and cold running blood, and a beautifully clear view of unspoiled evil.
And Alfie doesn't even expect a tip. He's sufficiently rewarded by your trembling
'A book as full of goodies as a Christmas stocking—if you like to shiver, that is. The horrifying malignance of John Wyndham's full-length novel is alone worth the price.'
— Chattanooga Times
'Gruesome and macabre .. one of the best.'
— August Derleth
Introduction
AHEM! IF I MAY HAVE A MOMENT—
I hope no one will construe the title of this tome as a challenge. It is — in case you were so eager to get to the stories that you didn't notice — Stories That Scared Even Me. This is meant as a simple statement of fact, not as a summons for you to cry in ringing tones that some of the stories didn't scare you. Why the word Even is in there I don't know. I proposed to call the book, in a simple and dignified manner, Stories That Scared Me. I was overruled. It seems that Stories That Scared Even Me has more swing to it. And this is, obviously, the day of the swinger.
For myself, I do no more than affirm that the stories in this book all gave me one or more of the pleasurable sensations associated with fear. Some quite terrified me. Some profoundly disturbed me and left me with a sense of deep uneasiness. Others prickled my nerve ends pleasurably, touched my spine with chills, or made me swallow hard as I registered their impact. Some did several of these things at once.

On that basis I offer them to you, trusting you will share with me these emotions, so enjoyable when they can be experienced in the snug embrace of an easy chair in the comfort of one's home.
And now I relinquish the screen to the main feature.
ALFRED J. HITCHCOCK
