Alfred Hitchcock Presents – Master of Suspense with Humor

2015 Articles, Deborah Harter Williams, Mysteryrat's Maze, TV

by Deborah Harter Williams

The scene fades up on a simple line-drawing* of Alfred Hitchcock's rotund profile (the word rotund seems to have been invented to describe Hitchcock, imagine finding this caricature next to the word in the dictionary); The "Funeral March of a Marionette" plays, and Hitchcock emerges in silhouette from the right side of the screen. Walking to the center of the frame his bulk fills in the caricature. He turns to the camera and says – “Good Eeevening.”

Thus leading to the ensouled vampire landing his own spin-off, which spanned for five seasons, encompassing not only new ideas, and some substantially creepier episodes than the pioneer series, but brought both new faces together with familiar ones.

Annabelle:: Movie Review

2014 Articles, Movies, Sarah Peterson-Camacho

by Sarah Peterson

Her face would inspire dread in even the most avid of doll collectors. With maniacal-looking glass eyes and a blood-red slit for a mouth, the eponymous star of the horror film Annabelle would fit in better at an asylum for the criminally insane than in a baby’s nursery.
