I used to run home from school (like 5th & 6th grade) to watch #DarkShadows. Sometimes I was so scared that I would have my back right up against the front screen door while I watched so that I could run right out to the yard if I got too freaked out. 🧛🏼♂️🩸#TCMParty

I read somewhere that #Hitchcock figured that the average person would read (quickly? carelessly?) that title as “erotica,” which would continue the creepy factor. Whenever I’ve taught Beethoven’s Eroica, the students always initially read it as erotica. #Psycho #TCMParty
