Good Evening.

 Yesterday, I was talking with Mylie T about how when I was a kid I used to watch the Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV show.   During that conversation I realized how much I missed that series and that I needed to break out the old collection.  So, lucky for you I did just that and uploaded it to the Zombie Popcorn YouTube page.

If you don’t remember what the Alfred Hitchcock Presents Tv series are  let me bring you up to speed.  Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an anthology television series hosted by Alfred Hitchcock.  The seriess started in 1955 and it featured dramas, thrillers and mysteries.  Each episode was only 30 mins long and could be compared to other shows like Twilight Zone or Tales from the Darkside – but better, in my opinion.

I may post more of the series depending on if you enjoy watching them, but until then here is Alfred Hitchcock Presents.. ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’ 1958.

Mary Maloney is a devoted wife and an exceptional housekeeper. One day, her husband, the police chief, announces that he wants a divorce because he has met another woman. Mary is quite angry and kills him with a blow from a frozen leg of lamb. She calls the police and provides and alibi for herself with the story that she’d been out to the store when the murder took place. The investigating officer, Lieutenant Noonan, is further frustrated when he cannot to find the murder weapon. Knowing of the long and hard hours spent looking into the case, Mary invites Noonan and the other investigators for a bite to eat. They dig into Mary’s leg of lamb and Noonan still thinking about the missing murder weapon says “For all we know, it might be right under our very noses.”
