Starting later today, I am going to start what I am calling Hitchcock Halloween, which will be a 3-day countdown to the big day, Hitchcock-style. A new poll will show up in the “Polls” section, asking readers what they think is the scariest Hitchcock film, and I will profile what I consider to be the best. Feel free to leave your comments about the films profiled, and don’t forget to vote in the poll!
Here is Mr. Hitchcock on “What’s My Line?” I can’t wait!!

I love seeing these old What’s My Line clips with our favorite classic stars and directors. (I hadn’t seen this one)
Looking forward to your 3 days of Hitchcock.
