Hitchcock Halloween

Compose a suspenseful scene that builds on the horror of the everyday as inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

The horror genre isn’t always about supernatural creatures or gruesome thriller, it can also stem from ordinary, everyday situations with tension and suspense. Alfred Hitchcock was a master at stirring uneasiness amid normal settings. Look at familiar, mundane situations and imagine how they can be twisted into a suspenseful scenario. Fuel the narrative with undertones of dread, paranoia and the unexpected, the way Hitchcock did.
