A community portal about Alfred Hitchcock with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, KBE was a highly influential director and producer who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and thriller genres. He directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades, from the silent film era, through the invention of talkies, to the colour era. Hitchcock was among the most consistently successful and publicly recognizable directors in the world during his lifetime, and remains one of the best known and most popular directors of all time, famous for his expert and largely unrivaled control of pace and suspense throughout his movies. Entertainment Weekly went so far as to give him the title of the greatest film director ever.

Here's another gem from the Web -- the first part of an interview with Alfred Hitchcock. In it, the famed director of such classic movies as Rear Window (1954), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960) talks about Red Riding Hood, how his target audience is women, "pure cinema," the necessity of avoiding cliches, and much more, all in 7 minutes. How about that for a money quote: "I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, instead of up on the screen." By the way...

Blondes -- well, females in general -- were one of them. He loved and hated his blonde female stars. Watch his movies and you will see...
