Hitchcock Happenings

Today was an especially creepy day. Misha and I went to see a Hitchcock movie, The Birds. The theater experience was memorable because:
1. We were attacked by flying candy from the back seats. Turning around to check who the spoilt brats that threw candy were, we saw Iliana, Dena, and Nelly - throwing candy at us to get our attention. We all sat in one row, waiting for the movie to start.
2. As teenagers, we have reserved the right to make silly comments during the most touching parts of movies. We didn't have the chance to do that tonight, though, for there was a creepy guy sitting next to us who rudely "shush"-ed us, so we had to shut up (or whisper).
3. If you've seen the movie, you've probably noticed that the ending is quite open and shows no signs of being an actual ending. All the people sitting around us were deeply hurt when the movie ended without even a simple "THE END."
4. Walking home from the theater (usually a nice 10-minute walk), was about the scariest we've had. Misha and I were just discussing how creepy that creepy guy was when we realized he was walking behind us!! We trotted ahead quickly until we lost him . A couple of blocks away, another guy started stalking us, and that's when we were completely freaked out. He never caught us, for we swiftly ran away.
5. All the sea gulls and crows (and Alfred Hitchcock himself) served as inspiration later on in the night. These are the drawings I created after watching that horror movie (yes, they are gruesome:)

This is a ravenous raven (who may also be a crow... whatever the difference is)...

You may know this guy, he's Alfred Hitchcock.
And this... is Alfred Hitchdog!
(maybe I'll take up drawing of famous people as dogs for a job some day.. and with a bit more luck, some day the dogs will be very much alike their human counterparts)
