Inaugural Hitchcock Festival Coming To Scotts Valley Theater Guild March 10th

Did you know Alfred Hitchcock lived in Scotts Valley? Yes, this world-famous director lived in Scotts Valley from 1940-1974.

Many of his creations were filmed on the Northern California Coast, including Vertigo, based in San Francisco and San Juan Batista; The Birds, inspired by an actual event in Capitola; as well as Psycho filmed in Bodega Bay.

The Scotts Valley Community Theater Guild is excited to announce that the Hitchcock Festival will be held annually on the weekend nearest to National Hitchcock Day, March 12.

This year’s inaugural activities include a Friday, March 10th, evening kickoff with a review of related local history by Jay Topping, Scotts Valley Historical Society, followed by a Hitchcock movie.

The Theater Guild will be hosting UCSC professors on Saturday, March 11, to highlight his unique approach to movie making, followed by a Hitchcock movie.

A Hitchcock-themed costume party with prizes will close out activities at
