This station lets you listen to Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Ghost Stories For Young People along with other short-but-creepy tales and haunted-house sounds for after-dark fun.

Anthony Hopkins has played some pretty dark characters ("Hello, Clarice . . ."), but for his latest role, he's going to play the man who mastered darkness. Hopkins is in talks to play Alfred Hitchcock in a biopic about the legendary director's life. The film is an adaptation of the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, which focuses on the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife Read more
No matter how I feel about the gore and jump-scares of modern horror films, I do consider myself a fan of well-made ones, looking to legendary director Alfred Hitchcock as the king of them. I've seen — and adore — many Hitchcock movies, so naturally I'm interested in The Mountain Eagle. Never heard of it? That's because it's missing, and The British Film Institute is trying to find it.

Welcome back, folks, to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I suggested some fun gifts for grandma (after tackling mom and dad), and that leaves us with grandpa! The first thing I thought of for my grandpa was the soundtrack to AMC's hit show Mad Men. I know he'd enjoy the collection of tunes by artists like The Andrews Read more
When I did my last quiz, Cell Phone or Perfume Name?, I think we both noted that the primary offender with their one-word, splashy names is LG. The electronics company uses these names for their cell phones and other tech products to titillate and appeal to customers. You know who else did that? Alfred Hitchcock. It seems like LG has been taking notes from the seminal horror-film director, but Read more
The Sicko Shower Curtain ($40) is a tribute to the infamous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, Psycho. A noir life-size silhouette of a "sicko" is sewn onto the back of a standard shower curtain to achieve its life-threatening look. I can't say that I'd actually hang this in my house, unless perhaps on Halloween, but it might make a nice housewarming gift for a die-hard Hitchcock fan. Read more

To wrap up my Frightful Friday series this week, I'm taking a little trip back in time to when horror movies were all about suspense and Bosco chocolate syrup. Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller Psycho is the perfect movie for a spooky fall night, its chilling story seemingly old-fashioned to us now for its lack of gore (or, "gore" by our modern standards). Also, that terrifying string score! It's Read more
In his interview with MTV Movies Blog, Anthony Hopkins reveals that he's going to play Alfred Hitchcock, and he has Hitchcock's voice all figured out. TV Squad tells us how to rate the Schrute Farms B&B on TripAdvisor. Idolator watched The Next Great American Band so you don't have to. Popwatch wonders who else is trapped in the closet with Dumbledore, with suggestions ranging from Ernie of Read more
Just when we thought it was gone, "According to Jim" is back from the dead for 18 more episodes, TV Guide reports. Reuters is reporting on a remake of Hitchcock's 1927 movie The Lodger, this time as an "urban thriller set in Los Angeles" and directed by documentarian David Ondaatje. Blood Diamond's Djimon Houndsou has been cast in the drama Get Some about an underground fight club, Variety Read more
