Are the birds gonna eat us, Mommy?

March 28, 1963
Alfred Hitchcock’s follow-up to Psycho, The Birds, starring Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedron premiered in New York on this date.

When audiences left the film’s UK premiere at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London, they were greeted by the sound of screeching and flapping birds from loudspeakers hidden in the trees to scare them further.
