All this month, Village East Cinema on Second Avenue and East 12th Street is screening an Alfred Hitchcock classic on Thursday evenings.
And tonight, it's "Rope" from 1948 with Jimmy James Stewart ... which "is notable for taking place in real time and being edited so as to appear as a single continuous shot through the use of long takes."
Here's the remaining schedule for Hitchcocktober:
• Oct. 16 — "Psycho"
• Oct. 23 — "The Man Who Knew Too Much"
• Oct. 30 — "Strangers on a Train"
The films start at 8 p.m. Head to the Village East Cinema website for more info and tickets.

This is more my speed...Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Via the magic of Hula, here's a Halloween warmup. This episode from 1956 is titled "The Creeper," in which a serial killer known as the Creeper (duh) is terrorizing the women of New York.
