On this week’s episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, hosts Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria welcome acclaimed Hitchcock scholar Professor Sidney Gottlieb for a fascinating conversation about the darker side of the Master of Suspense.

Together, they explore how Alfred Hitchcock blended psychological tension and pure horror, from the shocking brutality of Psycho to the eerie chaos of The Birds, and the overlooked menace of Frenzy. Professor Gottlieb also discusses Hitchcock’s creative process, the filmmaker’s enduring influence on generations of directors who followed in his shadow, and so much more!

Whether you’re a lifelong Hitchcock devotee or drawn to the art of fear, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how one man changed the language of suspense, and why his films continue to haunt us decades later.
