Hitchcock on fear

Fear isn't so difficult to understand.
After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf.
What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.
- Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)
