Alfred Hitchcock Classics
October 17, 2025 – October 30, 2025
There’s a chill in the air, and The Lindsay is leaning into spooky season vibes with two films from the Master of Suspense himself.
Alfred Hitchcock is a Hollywood legend with a filmography that includes all-timers like 1940’s Rebecca, 1954’s Rear Window, 1959’s North by Northwest, and 1963’s The Birds. His films earned 46 Academy Award nominations, including five Best Director nods.
The Lindsay is playing the Hitchcock classics Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960) multiple times between Friday, Oct. 17 and Thursday, Oct. 30. Here’s everything you need to know about these gripping psychological thrillers:
Vertigo
PG | 2h 8min | Thriller, Mystery, Romance
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Stars: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes
Vertigo stars Indiana, Pa., native James Stewart as John “Scottie” Ferguson, a San Francisco detective with a crippling fear of heights. An old friend hires Scottie to trail his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak), on suspicions of strange behavior. Scottie becomes increasingly obsessed with Madeleine over the course of his investigaton.
“Alfred Hitchcock tops his own fabulous record for suspense with Vertigo,” declares The Hollywood Reporter. “To watch this movie as it should be seen is too primal an experience to miss,” The Washington Post wrote of viewing Vertigo in a movie theater.
“Do yourself an aesthetic favor: Take the plunge. You’ll love the fall all the way down.”
Psycho
R | 1h 49min | Horror, Thriller, Drama
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Star: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles
Psycho remains the gold standard for cinematic horror. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is a secretary on the run with stolen money. She checks into a motel run by Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a seemingly innocuous guy harboring a twisted secret.
Hitchcock’s most famous film is also his “most brilliantly directed shocker,” proclaims the Los Angeles Times. Nobody thought The Guardian was exaggerating in 2010 when it called Psycho “the best horror film of all time.”
“After half a century of terror, Psycho is still ensuring that no one feels safe in the shower.”
