The Birds is a 1963 American natural horror-thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, released by Universal Pictures and starring Jessica Tandy, Rod Taylor, Suzanne Pleshette, and introducing Tippi Hedren in her film debut. Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, it focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on the people of Bodega Bay, California, over the course of a few days. The screenplay is by Evan Hunter, who was told by Hitchcock to develop new characters and a more elaborate plot while keeping du Maurier's title and concept of unexplained bird attacks.

Presenting Alfred Hitchcock Presents | Ann Arbor District Library
In this installment, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Vincent Price plays Charles Courtney, a detective with a perfect record who is not about to let a mistake stain his reputation. Then Amy joins Al to discuss the passive nature of the episode, suggest a different ending and wonder if Hitchcock was lazy in his directing this time or if this was his regular working routine.

As another Halloween approaches, Sophia and Nick are excited to celebrate Hitchcock-tober once again! This time, they marvel at the outstanding collaboration between the famed director and the costume designer with the most Oscar nominations and wins, Edith Head. Their eleven films together spanned three decades, multiple studios, and the transition from B/W to color. Listen to find out how Head uses different materials and colors to create looks that accentuate an actor's figure, develop a character's identity, and provide narrative function, all the while dazzling audience with unforgettable designs. Should she have been nominated for more than just To Catch a Thief? From Notorious (1946) to Topaz (1976), which is your favorite collaboration between them? *Note: If you've never seen Vertigo and do NOT want it spoiled, skip ahead from (36:46) to (38:55) for a more general appreciation of the film's costumes.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky, and TikTok @oscarwildpodFollow Sophia @sophia_cimFollow Nick @sauerkraut27Music: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan AdamichMore content including updated predictions and merch @ oscarwild.squarespace.com

On September 8, 1960, Psycho shocked cinema audiences with a level of psychological horror never seen before. But Psycho wasn’t pure fiction. It was inspired by the gruesome true story of Ed Gein, the real-life Butcher of Plainfield. When police raided Gein’s Wisconsin farmhouse in 1957, they uncovered a macabre scene: human remains crafted into lampshades, furniture, and clothing. These discoveries stunned the nation and sparked a media frenzy that would influence generations of horror storytelling. In this episode of True Crime Conversations, host Claire Murphy speaks with acclaimed true crime author Harold Schechter, whose book remains the definitive account of Ed Gein’s crimes. Following the Netflix release of Monsters: The Ed Gein Story from Ryan Murphy, Schechter reflects on how Gein’s legacy has been interpreted, and sometimes distorted, by Hollywood. You can find out more about Harold's book Deviant: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein, The Original Psycho here.

Welcome to Episode 245! A highlight of this episode, if you want to call it that, is our discussion of Henry James's ghost story, “The Jolly Corner,” from THE PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES. Chris also read his novella, “The Turn of the Screw,” so we actually talk about two Henry James stories. We're sorry. Haha. We jest, but in all honesty, we struggled with James's writing style, even if we thought the plots were engaging. If you're a Henry James fan, what are we missing? We'd love to hear from you! The image for this episode is a selfie we took in front of Henry James's portrait at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston earlier this year. It was painted in 1911 by his nephew, William “Billy” James. We had much more fun reading and discussing “The Birds” by Daphne Du Maurier. There's a new collection of Du Maurier's short stories out, AFTER MIDNIGHT: THIRTEEN TALES FOR THE DARK HOURS, which prompted our buddy read of this suspenseful tale of increasing dread. We plan on watching Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of the same name before the next episode. In our “Just Read” segment, we also talk about: THE LAST RESORT by Erin Entrada Kelly THE DOGS OF VENICE by Steven Rowley AFTERTASTE by Daria LaVelle AGNES GREY by Anne Brontë In Biblio Adventures, we were thrilled to make it to the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, CT, to see SPUNK. Zora Neale Hurston dreamed of seeing her short story, published in 1925, adapted for the stage. It took one hundred years to happen, but her wish has come true. As always, there's more “inside.” Happy Listening and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode245

It's that time of year again on The Film ‘89 Podcast as we bring you our 2025 Halloween Horror Special. Joining Skye are two returning co-hosts, Stephen Simpson and John Arminio, and the horror film they've picked as the focus of this episode is Tom Holland's 1985 cult classic, Fright Night, starring Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse and Roddy McDowell. Based on an original script by Holland, Fright Night blends elements of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window with Hammer horror and vampire lore as it tells the tale of teenager, Charley Brewster, who suspects that his new next door neighbour, Jerry Dandridge, may be a vampire. With outstanding practical makeup effects and assured direction from first time director Holland, Fright Night would go on to become a beloved cult classic and one of the very best horror films of the 1980s.

Rope is an interesting movie in Alfred Hitchcock’s œuvre. It’s his first color picture. It’s one of 13 movies he made based on plays, and it’s one of four movies he made that are set basically entirely in single locations (along with Lifeboat, Dial M for Murder, and Rear Window). But of the four single-location pictures, Rope is the only one that Hitchcock made to really seem like a filmed play. It unfolds in real-time, in one room, in long, continuous shots that are edited together in ways that are meant to hide most of the cuts. As Hartford Stage’s new adaptation of the play Rope is based on opens, we present a conversation taped on their stage, in front of an audience, about Alfred Hitchcock, his movies in general, and Rope, the movie and the play, in particular.

Bienvenidos a este nuevo episodio que hoy dedicaremos de modo particular a Pedro Bustamante y al mundo de la conspiración en general. La verdad es que me quede con las ganas de haber participado en el estupendo programa de Guillermo Mas Arellano, ya saben, el canal Pura Virtud donde invito a un joven erudito llamado Pablo Rábano. Los dos son magníficos intelectuales y yo desde luego no puedo compararme con ninguno de ellos, pero creo que hubiera podido aportar algunas cosas interesantes al programa. Le envié dos semanas antes, el 23 de septiembre, a Guillermo una parte del capitulo que el me inspiró a escribir: “Dos desapariciones en el umbral del exceso”. La verdad es que su trabajo intelectual es digno de mérito y con la juventud que disfruta nos dará muchas tardes de gloria y esperemos que corte muchas orejas y muchos rabos andróginos como el del canal El Rincón del Disidente. Dicho esto voy a empezar con el magnifico texto que nos trajo Pablo Rábano, aunque no recuerdo si nombró que la columna de Francisco Umbral a la que se refería se llamaba "El Halcón Maltés”. Dicho artículo vio la luz el 25 de mayo de 1997 en el suplemento La Revista de El Mundo, justo cuando arrancaba el juicio contra Miguel Ricart, el único condenado por el brutal triple asesinato de las niñas de Alcàsser —Miriam, Toñi y Desirée— en 1992. Umbral, con su pluma afilada y su ironía mordaz, no escribe un reportaje seco, sino una reflexión literaria inspirada en la novela negra de Dashiell Hammett. Usa el "halcón maltés" —ese ídolo falso de plomo recubierto de oro que todos persiguen en la historia— como metáfora para cuestionar si Ricart era realmente el lobo solitario o solo un señuelo para una culpa mayor. Lo que empezó como una pieza de opinión ha mutado con los años en combustible para teorías conspirativas que hablan de redes ocultas, élites intocables y encubrimientos de altos vuelos. A continuación, os presento ambas caras de la moneda en un solo relato: primero, la versión original de Umbral, leída tal cual, y luego, tejida en ella, la interpretación conspirativa. Imaginen la voz grave de Umbral narrando, y después, el eco siniestro de las sombras..."Como en las novelas de Dashiell Hammett, la justicia necesita un culpable. A la justicia la crea el culpable y al culpable lo crea la sociedad. Miguel Ricart no sabemos si es uno de los asesinos de las tres gracias con minifalda. Lo que sabemos es que Ricart está ahí, disponible, penetrable, preso, y que otros han huido y huyeron bien, demasiado bien. Alguien le puso alas a su huida. Ricart, peor que culpable, es la metáfora de la culpa. ¿Es culpable de sangre? Es sobre todo culpable de estar ahí, encarnando la culpa, haciéndola vivible y visible. La ley siempre necesita un culpable porque la ley es una abstracción mientras no tiene un reo. Al lobo lo crea el bosque. El lobo puede ser una manada. Caperucita se siente atraída por el bosque como el día por la noche. El lobo sólo está en el imaginario de Caperucita (tres caperucitas) como el culpable sólo está en el imaginario del juez. El juez sólo llega a serlo cuando Miguel Ricart se sienta delante de él, en una silla de oficina, con la cara en figura de enigma y los ojos inyectados en crimen. La justicia alienta ante su presa. Caperucita alienta ante su verdugo, que cuando la mata la hace mujer. La verdad está ausente y vuela muy alto. 'Nadie toque las moquetas'. Miguel Ricart no es más que un fetiche falso, un halcón de plomo y purpurina. Ricart, la prueba definitiva, sólo es un burdo engaño, una mentira. Se sabe falso y llora.” Ahí lo tienen, el texto puro de Umbral: una elegía cínica a la justicia ciega, donde Ricart no es el monstruo, sino el chivo expiatorio que permite al sistema seguir girando. Pero deténganse un momento... ¿y si esas alas en la huida de los verdaderos culpables no eran solo una metáfora? En el submundo de las teorías conspirativas —ese laberinto de blogs, foros y documentales supuestamente independientes que han revivido el caso Alcàsser como un zombie cultural—, el halcón de Umbral se transforma en un código para algo mucho más oscuro. Imaginen: el "lobo" no es un asesino solitario, sino una "manada" de élites valencianas y españolas —nobles, empresarios, políticos, clérigos, representantes de la justicia y masones con "inquietudes ocultistas", como apunta la duquesa de Medina Sidonia en su controvertida La ilustre degeneración de 1998—. Según esta lectura velada, Umbral no critica solo al juez, sino que lanza una pulla sutil a un encubrimiento de Estado: Ricart, el "fetiche falso de plomo y purpurina", es el señuelo que distrae de rituales de sangre, videos de torturas grabados para "hermanamientos" en sótanos de poder, y fugitivos protegidos por inteligencia extranjera o pactos inconfesables. La verdad, dice el texto, "vuela muy alto" —quizá en jets privados hacia paraísos fiscales, o en archivos clasificados que "nadie toque las moquetas", esa frase umbraliana que evoca alfombras bajo las que se barren los secretos de la alta sociedad. Ya saben, esa alfombra azul, azul, según el primer testigo ocular, el colmenero, que derivó en moqueta marrón y que se terminó perdiendo tal y como reconoce el mismo sumario. ¿Coincidencia? Para nosotros, no: Umbral, con su ojo de halcón para la podredumbre social, habría dejado esta pista como un guiño a los despiertos, uniendo el crimen de las tres "caperucitas" a una red pedófila sadista que huele a escándalos como los Galindos o el caso Dutroux y algún otro caso maldito. El halcón maltés ya no es solo literatura; es la clave de un rompecabezas donde la justicia no busca culpables, sino que los fabrica para proteger a los intocables. Por supuesto al mas puro estilo umbraliano hoy yo también les hablaré de mi próximo libro, pero antes voy a terminar con dos cosas, la autobiografía de Pedro y un detalle de un video que se publicó una vez el había desaparecido. Esto dijo el de sí mismo en su propio blog dentro del que fue su primer articulo allá por el 24 de octubre de 2012. “Soy arquitecto de formación pero autodidacta todoterreno por vocación.

Conservador radical, anticapitalista y anticomunista, creyente herético, indeciso convencido, incorrectamente político. Todo ello en régimen de rigurosa independencia. Porque en estos tiempos en que el sistema está podrido hasta los tuétanos, es prácticamente imposible hacer algo de interés desde los marcos institucionales y corporativos. Conocí la academia por dentro y comprendí que es un aparato de poder más, solo que más sutil, porque se ejerce a través de la perversión del saber y que los académicos son otra de las castas sacerdotales hollycapitalistas. He hecho muchas cosas diferentes en mi vida y en algunas he tenido eso que el sistema llama "éxito". En efecto, conocí la realidad del mito del "éxito" en mi profesión como arquitecto. Demasiado éxito y demasiado pronto. Entonces comprendí que el poder lleva implícita la corrupción, que cuanto más se asciende en la escala de poder más complicidad hay que tener con la criminalidad y la impunidad inherentes al poder, con su perversión y su sadismo. Esta oportunidad que me regaló la vida me sirvió para saber que no pertenecía a ese mundo, que todo lo que está atravesado por el éxito y el dinero está podrido. Desde entonces me dedico a tratar de comprender cómo funciona este mundo delirante y transmitirlo en la medida de mis posibilidades. Pensando sobre todo en llegar a los pueblos y a las comunidades. Invirtiendo en lo posible la transferencia permanente de energía, riqueza, recursos, dedicación, esfuerzo, amor, moralidad, naturalidad, espontaneidad, buena voluntad, etc., que se produce de abajo a arriba en el sistema de dominación. Mediante el pensamiento y la creación, la investigación teórica y la práctica, la escritura y el arte, la conspiración y el rigor.” Y ahora el video. Se trata de una especie de homenaje a Pedro con el esclarecedor titulo de “Pedro Bustamante. El hombre que sabia demasiado” en un claro guiño a la película de Alfred Hitchcock de1934 con titulo homónimo. Allí eligen un temazo del desconocido grupo Capucha Sartén donde se dice textualmente: “Se está rompiendo el hechizo, está fallando la magia del reino de las tinieblas. No pueden decir más veces: ¡morirás si hablas!” Y ya, después ya aparece Pedro en sus fragmentos de videos y se hace una interesante selección de ideas. Antes nos han mostrado un cartel donde se lee: Pedro Bustamante, el hombre que sabia demasiado…del Androginarcado Caído”. Gracias por haberme permitido esta introducción tan delirante en homenaje a nuestro querido maestro Pedro Bustamante y ahora si vamos a presentar a nuestro invitado. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En mi primer libro, El imperio de la ficción: Capitalismo y sacrificios hollywoodenses (2015), he tratado de mostrar cómo funciona el mundo en términos generales, pero también, profundos. Para ello, vengo desarrollando una investigación que pretende explicar cómo operan las sociedades humanas, desde un punto de vista integral, tanto en lo político como en lo económico, lo social como lo moral. Y por supuesto, lo religioso. La idea es mostrar que lo religioso está en la base de todos los fenómenos políticos, económicos y sociales. También en el capitalismo, especialmente en el tardío, que yo denomino hollycapitalismo. Porque el sistema no se puede comprender hoy al margen de su dimensión religiosa y hollywoodense. Porque esta dimensión es, en última instancia, holy, sagrada. En mi segundo libro, Sacrificios y hierogamias: La violencia y el goce en el escenario del poder (1 y 2) (2016) he formulado con más detalle lo que denomino la mecánica hierogámico-sacrificial. Lo que esta obra trata de mostrar es que toda la realidad social remite a esta mecánica, en cuyo centro está el ritual de sexo y de sangre. El primer tomo se ocupa de lo que nos parece que son los fundamentos de lo social: la relación entre naturaleza y cultura, la distinción entre prohibición y transgresión, la institución de convenciones morales, todo ello en el marco de la mecánica citada, en la que hierogamias y sacrificios son protagonistas. El segundo tomo se dedica a mostrar que todas las instituciones sociales --la ley, la monarquía, el Estado, el lenguaje-- remiten a esta mecánica hierogámico-sacrificial, sin la que no se pueden comprender en toda su profundidad y ambivalencia. Mi tercer libro, En el nombre del Falo y del Ano y de la Matriz transhumana: El sacrificio de la maternidad y el nacimiento del infrahumano (2017), trata de mostrar el trasfondo del proceso de transhumanización que hoy padecemos. Nos parece que la clave para comprender esta tremenda transformación del humano está en que va a suponer la extinción de la maternidad natural y su sustitución por una maternidad artificial. Toda la locura del género que hoy invade todo el ámbito público hay que entenderla en este sentido. Pero todo ello, además, remite a las prácticas retorcidas de las sociedades secretas duras, que en definitiva se pueden resumir en tres nociones: falocracia, psicopatocracia y ocultocracia. Mi cuarto libro, Androginización vs. Heteroarcado: Ocultismo y programación mental mediante trauma en la agenda de género-transhumanista (2018), desarrolla algunos de los temas tratados en el libro anterior. Es un acercamiento al tema de las teorías de género desde una perspectiva muy diferente a la dominante, pero también a la de los ámbitos alternativos que se oponen a la ideología de género. Lo que tratamos de hacer es mostrar el papel central que juega en toda esta ingeniería social la androginización, como un fenómeno muy cercano al de la programación mental mediante trauma. Lo que a su vez supone comprender el papel central que desempeña el ocultismo, o para ser más concretos, el satanismo-luciferismo, que son dos caras de la misma moneda, en cuyo corazón está la androginización. Mi quinto libro, las 13 herejías del greco y el falo perdido en toledo (2019), es una obra muy dura solo recomendable para un grupo muy reducido de lectores. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Oh, Norman… you've gone and done it again, haven't you? You've brought them here… Those nosy boys from 3 Guys and a Flick. They just had to come poking around our little motel, whispering about Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. They'll gossip about Bernard Herrmann's screeching violins, that ghastly shower scene, and my poor boy Norman — such a sweet, misunderstood child. They'll tattle about spoilers, casting, cinematography, and all that slasher nonsense, as if they know what really happened in that house on the hill… But listen closely, dears… if you dare. This Halloween kickoff episode will make you question what's real, what's madness, and who's really sitting behind that curtain. Join Don, Ken, and guest Gerard — before Mother finds out you've been listening.

Many filmmakers are known for small signatures that they always put inside their films. Alfred Hitchcock always used himself in a cameo. George Lucas always found a way to integrate the number 1138. Quentin Tarrentio almost always mentions the fictional "Big Kahuna Burger." And Stan Lee, of course, has found his way into every Marvel Movie. However, there is one film signature that is shared by a wide range of movie makers and has appeared in hundreds of films. You've probably come across it even if you didn't realize it.

Our Spooky Szn continues its deep dive into the classics with one of the most celebrated, analyzed, and ultimately unsettling films ever made: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo (1958)." While today it's hailed as a cinematic masterpiece, this film was a notoriously slow burn for original audiences, and Mackenzie and Lemar are ready to dig into exactly why it took so long for the world to catch up to Hitchcock's genius.This week, we're dissecting the very personal psychological thriller that shifts from a detective mystery into an agonizing study of obsession, control, and erotic fixation. We'll be discussing the brilliant technical innovations - like the famous "Vertigo Effect" - and how James Stewart's dark turn as Scottie, coupled with Kim Novak's haunting performance, creates a vortex of guilt and desire. We explore the symbolism of color, the genius of Bernard Herrmann's score, and why the plot reveal two-thirds of the way through is less a twist and more a doorway into true psychological horror.If you love a film that demands repeat viewings, are fascinated by cinema history, or just want to hear a deep discussion on the dark heart of obsession, this episode is a can't-miss part of your Spooky Szn watch list. Don't worry, we'll try not to leave you dangling from a rooftop.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.
