How do you do. This is the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock and I am delighted to be here at Granny Creech’s Radio Spot Crypt. It seems that our dear old Granny has decided to feature the radio spots for my movie Psycho, a feat of which must have been a serious undertaking for her.
Actually, there are two sets of spots that will be presented here. The first set is for the original release of Psycho in 1960; the second set is for its re-release in 1969. Those will be featured next week. I think you will find both sets equally charming.
For whatever reason, Granny Creech gets a kick out of my vocal delivery, calling it droll and dry, and somewhat humorous. I can assure you these spots were delivered in all seriousness with the goal of attracting as many patrons to the theatre as possible.
And so, I will leave it up to you, the discerning listener, to determine the effectiveness of the spots. I trust they will leave you with the most pleasant memories and the most chilling nightmares. Thank you.”
