Recreate the Horror of Hitchcock with Threadbanger
Oct 14th, 2009 by Ealeal
While today I find myself creeped out mostly by poorly done reality television shows and street cats (I swear, they seem to be mutating), there was a time when one of the only men to make my skin crawl was the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. As a kid leaning towards cutesy but intense paranoia, I was convinced for a time that Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography was just about all you needed in terms of cautionary preparation for “The Real World” and life at large. After all, almost any out-there scenario was hand-crafted by The Master to seem not only very real, but also very, very possible: From finding yourself conspiring to eliminate people with a deranged psychopath you met on public transport, to wheelchair-bound Peeping Tom neighbors, to being pursued by enemies of the state due to a classic case of mistaken identity, to suffering from an extreme case of acrophobia and even ending up on a total mental bender after having cohabited with your mom way, way, way too late into your adult life. And who could forget getting massacred by winged death mongers to the sound of an intensely creepy tune?
Thanks to the fabulous Meg Allan Cole and the Threadbanger posse, you can now recreate all the spooky tension so often identified with Hitchcock, right in your own home – and right on time for Halloween! Just remember, you DIY-loving kids – use fake birds only. We mean it!
