   when you walk through a storm hold your head up high!
   (i’ve been told that “you’ll never walk alone” as sung by gerry marsden is the unofficial theme song of the liverpool football club. being a beatles fan, we find out about these things.)

   Alfred Hitchcock was English, and he did this little adaptation of a Daphne deMaurier short story that didn’t have very much blood in it at all — just a bunch of our fine feathered friends. You guys would probably find it boring and not very horrifying at all. So yeah, clearly there’s a market niche there.

   It’s like someone deeply Texan speaking with someone deeply Bostonian.It sounds unfamiliarly similar.

    The Birds was certainly not boring-also the Hammer Dracula films so “we guys” who are horror fans, Russell, don’t find English horror films boring. The reruns of Hitchcock half hour shows are still on late night cable tv and are fun too. But we Americans have made some truly terrific horror films like “The Shining” and “The Haunting”, Shirley Jackson’s story (not the remake). I do,however, find Soccer boring. Bucky’s bloody liver in a pool would probably make a good one too.

    You are right about this being the official theme song: the unofficial theme song is “You’ll never work again”, sung by the fans of opposing teams, and referencing Liverpool’s benefit culture. (I might add that not all of the lyrics are for family hearing.)
    There is a story that at the second coming Jesus walked the earth, healing and blessing all he met, until he encountered a scouser* on crutches. As he reached out to heal, the man waved a crutch at him and said, “Not so fast, soft lad** – I’m on Invalidity!”
    scouser = native Liverpudlian
    *soft lad = idiot
