ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S THE BIRDS: HALFWAY TO HALLOWEEN


Celebrating the official Halfway to Halloween with an Alfred Hitchcock Classic that's finally available for the big screen again: The Birds. Based on the short story by Daphne Du Maurier (Rebecca, Don't Look Now), The Birds crafts a layered narrative with Hitchcock's signature suspense, impressive special effects, and a genre of psychological horror so influential to later directors Guillermo Del Toro and John Carpenter.

Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds is an unforgettable masterpiece that is considered one of the most terrifying films from the Master of Suspense. When beautiful, blonde Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) travels to Bodega Bay in pursuit of eligible bachelor Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), she is inexplicably attacked by a seagull. Suddenly, thousands of birds begin to flock into town, preying on schoolchildren and residents in a terrifying series of attacks. Mitch and Melanie must fight for their lives against a deadly force that cannot be explained or stopped in this film that makes you want to "hold onto something and watch!" (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide).
