Fan letter

I don't think there's anyone living who warrants a fan letter from me, so I'm writing to my favorite director.

Dear Mr. Hitchcock,

I'm a huge fan of your movies. You've directed some truly twisted, awesome stuff and I respect your vision and the major influence you've had on both movies and television. The thing I like most about your movies is the way they make monsters out of seemingly ordinary people. What's scarier than the monster who lives next door and looks like your average neighbor? (Or something as benign as a bunch of birds. That movie scared the shit out of me, by the way.) I wonder what you'd have thought about casting a real monster in your movies. You'd probably have had the guts to do it, even if you didn't make stereotypical monster movies. I wish that I'd had the chance to write you a fan letter while you were alive, but I wasn't even born when you died. Regardless, I'm taking the time now to say you were really one of a kind and your movies are always going to be favorites of mine.

Respectfully,
Joshua Breskin

P.S. I wish you were alive so I could get your take on the "Psycho" remake. Personally, I think it was sacrilege.
