Hitchcock and the Dark Side of Genius

Hitch was an odd kid and from the beginning he was insecure about his weight. But if you're picturing young Hitchcock as a troubled bullied loner well that might not quite be fair. Primary school seems to be where Hitch first ignited his love of pranking people. He did this in a way that I think was definitely bullying. Tying a kid up and pinning firecrackers to his underpants is that's a step. We all did some shit we're not proud of. Nothing that just horrific. It was a good job I wasn't burned Gould remembered.
