This unusual episode breaks the fourth wall beyond the weekly Hitchcock framing device. The first few minutes involve the murderer speaking directly to the audience which is disconcerting at first, even cheesy. The performances are quite theatrical. But when the protagonist commits murder and looks straight at the viewer with pleasure, it’s downrig...
This one stars John Williams — no, not the famed composer — a talented actor who worked with Hitchcock in Dial M for Murder. Williams is always something of a stiff archetype, but suggests hidden layers here. RELATED: 10 Iconic Quotes From Psycho The plot is rather straightforward, offering yet another planned murder, and the ironic ending is fairl...
Again, this is a particularly off-brand story that bears little suspense until the end. However, the script was written by Roald Dahl, the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl has a macabre sense of humor, which compliments Hitchcock's. This episode is all about a woman’s infidelity and her comeuppance. The ironic twist here is absolut...
Vincent Price is an iconic star of genre thrillers who's perfect for Hitchcock’s series. Price is convincing in mundane scenes, but also when his characters call for terrifying decisions or even mania.

This episode bluntly tackles a sensitive subject matter—gun violence. A young boy accidentally wields a real gun in public, believing it’s a toy present from his uncle. All the while, tension escalates as the boy fills it with more bullets. He also encounters a series of conflicts with people over minor things. It’s truly unnerving and Hitchcock kn...
Crimes of passion are rarely this “well done”. Here, a woman impulsively kills her husband when he admits there’s someone else and wants a divorce. The murder weapon just so happens to be some frozen lamb. Yes, the episode has some great dark humor, regarding the easily hidden weapon.

This episode delves into one of Hitchcock’s favorite visual themes: the doppelganger. There’s no denying that Hitchcock is charismatic, but his monologues can feel silly or dated. Here, the beginning is suspenseful and the ending is genuinely funny, telling a story about a man who believes his life is being invaded by a double. It’s very familiar i...
Joseph Cotten stars as a cruel employer who lays off a longtime family man. The older gentleman describes how attached his family is to the company, and the protagonist can only dismiss emotion altogether. The episode proceeds to punish Cotten’s character enough to wring a breakdown from the callous, cold-hearted man. RELATED: 10 Most Suspenseful A...
Most other shows would require more than a few episodes to get on their feet. But this pilot establishes nearly every staple that would allow the show to thrive for years. For example, the ironic ending is a signature move. The episode even featured the talented Vera Miles, who would later star in Psycho. Her skill is particularly noticeable in a t...
This episode was clearly the impetus for Psycho. For one, the extensive, methodical cleanup after a crime of passion is a clear connection. The opening scene is superbly clever, as the camera steadily pushes in while an argument escalates. It’s the perfect visual parallel, ramping up suspense though we don’t even hear the conversation. Very few dir...
