Can’t travel, annoying to wear a facemask on a hike…so time to remember a simpler time – with Alfred Hitchcock movies!
Time For A Hike!
For those who have been following along, one of my favorite series of stories involves a great “hike” followed by a classic Alfred Hitchcock film…my wife Alex came up with the idea, which we call:
“Hitch Hiking!”
While some of the hike are traditional, I also included several urban hikes, because 196 blocks in New York City adds up!
Here are the 8 hikes I have posted so far, as well as the classic Hitchcock thrillers highlighted in the story:
Hitch Hiking #1: High Above Malibu! “To Catch A Thief!”
Alex and I hike regularly at Will Rogers State Park, which offers miles and miles of great hiking up hills and into the Santa Monica mountain range – and at times they do indeed go UP:

Great post, and SO fun! I love this idea and think it’s a brilliant pairing. Though I have an aversion to horror, I have a real appreciation for “The Birds” and “Vertigo.” He truly made such a cultural impact with his films.

“Rear Window” and “Vertigo” are his classics, and “North By Northwest” and “To Catch A Thief” are his Cary Grant films that are so cool…the pacing and style is slower because that’s the way films were black then – and the two shockers are “Psycho” and “The Birds!” Thanks for sharing this!
