I read an essay by the great master H.P. Lovecraft where he said that you should never attempt to explain what happens, as long as what happens stimulates people’s imagination, their sense of the uncanny, their sense of anxiety and fear.

—Stanley Kubrick, in a 1980 interview with Spanish novelist and film critic Vicente Molina Foix (via the-overlook-hotel)

criterioncorner: FAKE CRITERION COVER: THE BIRDS (dir. Alfred Hitchcock) 1963 Designed By: HopKo Designs “Why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They said when you got here the whole thing started. Who are you? What are you? Where did you come from? I think you’re the cause of all of this. I think you’re evil. EVIL!” yessss. if Criterion re-issues Spellbound before they even get their hands on The Birds, i’m gonna… i’m gonna… um, probably complain about once or twice on this blog like the entitled bastard i am, grouse about rights issues, and then go about living my life. but now that i’ve seen this cover, i’m convinced it needs to happen, and that it needs to happen soon.  hopkodesigns: The Birds Criterion Collection (This is our vision of what could be.) Yes please.
