Alfred Hitchcock short story collection title

I read this story in High School; been looking for it ever since. It's a prose short story version of the 1773 ballad of Leonore, and it appeared in an Alfred Hitchcock short story collection, the cover had an artistic version of Isabelle Adjani circa Nosferatu 1979. (I could be wrong about Hitchcock but it's a short story collection with Adjani on the cover) anyone know the title, PLEASE and THANK YOU.

has there ever been a Black and White version released of the birds 1963 on VHS / Bluray / DVD?

i like to give it as a birthday present to my mother.

my mother as old as she is, remembered the black and white version from her youth, so she likes a black and white version to watch. now the colored one i can buy everywhere.

anybody any idea if that ever was in circulation or where i could buy it online in Europe / American or Asia? must have english subtitles at least.

thanks.

The Fog - Hitchcock Magazine

When I was a kid, my mother had a subscription to Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine for a while. I remember there was one story about a fog or something moving up a high-rise building, and screams or something like that coming from within the fog. I remember liking the story, but I really can't remember anything else about it, and what I do remember might be wrong. Does anyone else remember this. I think about it every-so-often, and I'd like to read it again if I could find it. It would probably have been in the magazine in the late 80s, early 90s.

In honor of Halloween, which Hitchcock film, in your opinion, is the scariest or most suspenseful?

Or you could also pick the film that felt “darkest” to you if that makes sense.

I’m going with “Rope.”

Happy Halloween fellow fanatics.

A question for the Bernard Herrmann experts out there...

Is there any source(website, book, video) that goes into the music theory and composition aspect of Bernard's work for Hitch?

Favorite underrated episodes of AH Presents/Hour?

I alternate watching AH Presents/Hour with The Twilight Zone every Sunday as I work on my side business. They are always in the background. I've probably seen TZ more than AH because AH has a larger body of episodes, and not all are available on Peacock where I stream. I have a few favorites I feel are underrated. What are yours?

Why isn't Hitchcock's TV show as popular as his movies?

Hitchcock movies like The Birds, Psycho, Rear Window, North By Northwest, etc. are all very popular. A lot of people today still love his movies and it's why Hitchcock has become a big legend. But his TV shows "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" don't seem to get much recognition. I don't get it. A lot of people love "The Twilight Zone" and I, personally, find that show very boring. But I LOVE Alfred Hitchcock Presents & Hour because each episode keeps me on the edge of my seat and then you get that surprise ending as well. So I don't understand why Hitchock's TV show isn't that popular. Even the DVDs didn't sell well and Universal only released up to Season 5 here in the USA due to poor sales.

So why isn't Hitchcock's TV show as popular as his movies?

Just watched The Birds and Goddamn

For a movie that was made 61 years ago it held up surprisingly well. It was quite horrific and at times pretty gory. Only thing I really didn’t like was how Daniels got injured. She really couldn’t figure out how to leave a room that she had just entered? Sure, you could say she was too freaked out by the hundreds of birds attacking her but cmon. Other than that very good movie.

Alfred Hitchcock channel

This weekend I was checking out some of the free TV/movie streaming apps and found that the Xumo Play app has an Alfred Hitchcock channel! I was so excited because the channel shows Hitchcock shows and movies and all for free! I’m watching it on an AppleTV, but I believe it’s available on Android as well. Just wanted to share!

My favorite book of all time!

Only let me post one pic. Great spooky stories by various authors. There are numerous gothic like illustrations that gave me chills as a kid. Found this book again online and simply had to buy. Published 1961.
