Halloween is lurking around the corner, and what better way to celebrate together than a deep dive into Alfred Hitchcock’s most groundbreaking movies?

This presentation explores how the “Master of Suspense” revolutionized the horror genre by shifting its focus from external monsters to the psychological terrors within. With PSYCHO (1960) and THE BIRDS (1963) as pivotal landmarks, Hitchcock transformed horror into a modern form—one where ordinary settings become uncanny and violence emerges from the instability and perversity of the human mind. These films not only redefined cinematic fear, but also laid the groundwork for later traditions, from the Italian giallo to the American slasher.
