Hilarious Satirical Retitles Bring Alfred Hitchcock Movie Posters to Life

Bill Hader and Conan O’Brien have given a humorous twist to some of Alfred Hitchcock's movie titles, prompting artist Ted Haines to create new, appropriately funny posters for them. Although Hitchcock is renowned as the master of suspense, he also directed several enduring classics such as Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window and The Birds, across multiple Hollywood eras from the 1920s to the 1970s. However, Hader and O’Brien felt that the director's movies lacked silly titles, leading them to rename some of his best works during a recent podcast episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

In the new artworks, Vertigo is renamed Dizzy Movie, The Birds is called Birdie Movie, Psycho is Pshower Movie and Rear Window is Peek A Boo Movie.

Bill Hader Should Make His Own Hitchcock Film

Hader’s comedic abilities were first recognized during his time on SNL. However, he has since demonstrated his versatility as both an actor and director on HBO’s Barry, which concluded its fourth season. His success with Barry has inspired Hader to pursue filmmaking further and he has even identified a potential project, as he revealed in an interview with THR.

After co-writing and working on Barry's seasons three and four back-to-back, Hader is taking a break and exploring new ideas. With his successful blend of comedy and darker themes on the HBO show, it's possible that Hader's future projects may also have a similar tone. He even mentions the iconic director Hitchcock, who was known for mixing humor with suspenseful stories. While Hader's upcoming feature could be entirely different from his past work, it wouldn't be surprising to see him continue to push the boundaries of macabre humor and suspense in his future endeavors.

Should Hader decide to pursue a Hitchcock-style suspense film with a touch of humor, he may choose to forego the catchy title brainstormed with O'Brien. Nonetheless, this route could prove to be a wise choice for Hader as he navigates his transition from successful actor to esteemed director.
