    A fun experience is explaining the premise of "THE BIRDS" to a present-day child who is not previously aware that this is a real movie that is considered an established classic and not an elaborate joke you are telling them.

    The Birds is such a wild movie. On one hand, it's a creature feature, with a lot of standard creature feature setup and delivery. On the other, it's shot through with as much weird psychosexual undertone as Vertigo. "Do the birds hate this independent, intelligent, capable blonde woman? Maybe."

    To create the birds' shrieks in Hitchcock's THE BIRDS, there was no conventional score. The soundtrack was made on an early electronic instrument, filling the film with unnatural artificial screeches instead of music. Follow us for more from cinema history.

    Read The Birds by Daphne du Maurier today (the short story which inspired Hitchcock to make the film of the same name). It’s only 40 pages long, but holy shit why has there never been a faithful-ish TV adaptation?
