shadowkatThis is Day #15 of the 30 Days of Halloween Challenge.
The prompt is A horror film that features an animal or insects or plants in either the title or as the main threat.
One rule: DO NOT PICK A FILM WITH SPIDERS! I don't want to see it or know about it. You can pick anything else with animals, insects, or plants. I'm an arachnophobe. Please be mindful of my high blood pressure, thank you.
Mine is Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. It's adapted from a short story by Daphne Du Maurier. She did another one that was adapted into a film...but I won't list it in case someone else picks it.
I love this film. And it's close to the short story, but in some respects far more disturbing. Hitchcock was a bit like Kubrick, everyone thought he was brilliant, but he drove actors nuts. The man liked to torture his actors.
