Post Description

No director in the history of cinema has marketed himself quite like Alfred Hitchcock. He began appearing in specially-filmed trailers for his films 
in the late 1940s, and by the time he began hosting a popular weekly television show in the 1950s?which lasted ten years?he became a bona fide?

celebrity, widely imitated by comedians. He lent his name to a mystery-story magazine, board games, paperback books?and yes, a record album of ghost 
stories for children. MicroWerks has repackaged this piece of Hitchcockiana from 1962 as part of its Golden Records reissue series. There are six eerie 
stories in all, written (for the most part) and read by actor John Allen, with minimal sound effects and music, but the treat is listening to Hitchcock?s 
introductions, done in the dryly humorous tone of his television show. (The album even opens with his by-then familiar theme music, Gounod?s ?Funeral
 March of a Marionette?.) He begins by saying, ?How do you do, boys and girls. I?m delighted to find that you believe in ghosts, too. After all, they 
believe in you, so it is only common courtesy to return the favor.?
