OH DADDY / ALFRED HITCHCOCK ON FATHER'S DAY AND HALLOWEEN

Painting by Morten Lonvig

"This being the case, it will come as a surprise to my disciples to learn that I favor the abolition of Halloween. But surprise or not, I have powerful lobbies in key places urging that it be stricken from the calendar and another occasion substituted. For no right-thinking adult can help but agree that it has become a crashing bore. Only Father's Day surpasses it for sheer tedium and hypocrisy."
-Alfred Hitchcock "The Anti-Social Register (1965)"
