VAMPIRE WOMEN.

In THE BIRDS, Alfred Hitchcock's heart-pounding follow-up to PSYCHO, the director couples a tone of rigorous morality with dark humor to create a thriller that begins as a light comedy and ends as an apocalyptic allegory. Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffith's mother) carries the picture in her first film role ever, embarking on a career as an icy-cool leading lady. Loosely based on a Daphne du Maurier story and a Santa Monica newspaper account, "Seabird Invasion Hits Coastal Homes," THE BIRDS also features groundbreaking special effects that, in 1963, surprised and delighted audiences. Wealthy reformed party girl Melanie Daniels (Hedren) enjoys a brief flirtation with lawyer Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) in a San Francisco pet shop and decides to follow him to his Bodega Bay home. Bearing a gift of two lovebirds, Melanie quickly strikes up a romance with Mitch while contending with his possessive mother and boarding at his ex-girlfriend's house. One day, during a birthday party for Mitch's younger sister, a flock of birds attacks the children in what seems to be a random incident. In fact, it signals the beginning of a massive avian assault on the residents of the town--a mysterious assault that no one can explain...and from which no one may come out alive.

Credited with inventing the genre of the modern horror film, PSYCHO has had its share of sequels and imitators, none of which diminishes the achievement of this shocking and complex horror thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's choreography of elements in PSYCHO is considered so perfect it inspired a shot-by-shot remake by Gus Van Zant in 1998. However, Hitchcock's black-and-white original, featuring Anthony Perkins's haunting characterization of lonely motel keeper Norman Bates, has never been equaled. Bates presides over an out-of-the-way motel under the domineering specter of his mother. The young, well-intentioned Bates is introduced to the audience when Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a blonde on the run with stolen money, checks in for the night. But Momma doesn't like loose women, so the stage is set for this classic tale of horror--and one of the most famous scenes in film history. PSYCHO was initially received by audiences with shock and amazement--and it still terrifies today. Though it is now considered prototypical Hitchcock, its setting, pace, and emphasis on terror were major departures for the director at the time, coming after the more classically grand NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

Several little-known vintage horror films are gathered here, including 1942's THE UNDYING MONSTER and 1944's THE LODGER, followed by 1945's HANGOVER SQUARE. In the first film, a Scotland Yard inspector must figure out who or what has been preying on members of a rich English social circle. Next, a London family takes in a boarder who may or may not be Jack the Ripper himself! Finally, a composer finds work so stressful that he keeps waking up to realize he's blacked out and has gone on a murdering spree.

A double feature of early Hitchcock Films: THE LODGER (1926, Silent): One of Alfred Hitchcock's moodiest and most brilliant silent films, THE LODGER explores many themes that would reappear obsessively in Hitchcock's later works, including his delight in the ghoulish, the "wrong man" theme, and his understanding of the general public's thirst for sex and violence. A family suspects their mysterious lodger is a serial killer with a penchant for blonde girls--and that their daughter might be his next victim. Hitchcock once again focused on a modern-day Jack the Ripper in FRENZY (1972). MURDER! (1930, Sound): This early Alfred Hitchcock suspense-thriller features one of the filmmaker's favorite subjects--a wrongly accused murder suspect. Although famous actor Sir John (Herbert Marshall) believes young actress Diana Baring (Norah Baring) can't be responsible for murdering a young woman from her performing troupe, he votes guilty with his fellow jurors. However, his conscience forces him to become an amateur sleuth and set out to find the real killer. Sir John eventually figures out who actually murdered the woman, and he sets out to create a trap for the guilty party in the film's suspenseful climax. MURDER! was adapted from the novel ENTER SIR JOHN! By Clemence Dane.
