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!!
Backlots is a labor of love, and bringing this kind of content to our readers does incur costs–the yearly price of the domain, travel for all the events we cover, and everything else that is necessary to bring you the best of classic film on the web. Ad revenue brings in a meager amount, but doesn’t begin to cover the costs associated with a site like this. If you like what you see and have a few extra cents to spare, any amount, no matter how small, helps immensely and is deeply appreciated.

Looking forward to your 3 days of Hitchcock.
