Cinecast #64: 39 Steps Lead Down

Hitchcock Marathon #1 - The 39 Steps: Six weeks of tongue in cheek slasher pics have put Adam and Sam in the mood for more classic fare. Cinecast kicks off its six-week Master of Suspense Marathon with 1935's "The 39 Steps." A fun, suspenseful film with great dialogue and witty period acting, "Steps" doesn't have the psychological power of later Hitchcock. But Adam and Sam agreed that it serves as a great entry point to the auteur's body of work.

Also on the show, we hand out The Haddonfields, the Best of the Horror Marathon Awards, and reveal our Top 5 Villains. Sam would like to note that he is embarrassed by the diabolical obviousness of his picks.

Music by Alejandro Escovedo courtesy of Bloodshot Records ... Cinecast theme music by Age of the Rifle.
