You are invited back into the Talking Hitchcock screening room! Join creator and host, Hitchcock enthusiast, Rebecca McCallum with special guest film journalist, producer and presenter and creator and host of Evolution of Horror Podcast-Mike Muncer.

Hitchcock and horror have always gone hand in hand-his fascination with death, murder and the repressed spans across his career from 1927’s The Lodger, a film based serial killer-Jack the Ripper, to the gothic notes of 1940’s Rebecca.

Elsewhere, we can find traces of the macabre in the Nietzchen theories at work in 1948s Rope and nihilism and brutality in the creature attacks of 1963’s The Birds.

In this episode, Mike and I discuss all things Hitchcock and Horror-from the gothic and the uncanny, to how the director uses space and knowledge to evoke suspense and fear.

We also have a fun time sharing our favourite villains, top five horror moments in Hitchcock and Mike rates listeners scary moments on the Hitch-o-meter of horror!

So, join us in the vast hallways of Manderlay, in the cosy and creepy parlour of the Bates motel and in the living room of a Manhattan apartment for a macabre buffet as we take a dizzyingly wonderful and dangerous carousel ride into the world of Hitchcock and Horror.
