The Tao of Doo


In his kind and generous review of my first mystery, DEATH NOTICE, author James Reasoner said the plot was vaguely reminiscent of something found in Scooby-Doo, only played seriously. He meant it as a compliment and I took it Read more

BAD MOON Rises


Another October, another release date. Since BAD MOON is my second book, you would think I'd be used to it. But nope, I'm not. BAD MOON's publication date feels as surreal as DEATH NOTICE's did last year. For readers, the Read more

Hitchcock or Disney

Hitchcock or Disney

Posted on 06/03/2011 by Todd Posted in Hitchcock or Disney, Just For Fun | 3 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m a diehard fan of the works of both Alfred Hitchcock and Walt Disney. I know, it sounds bizarre. No two men could be more different.

Or are they?

There’s a lot of humor in Hitchcock’s films, and more heart than he gets credit for. And some of Disney’s most famous works have a delicious dark streak to them.

To bolster my argument, I’m starting an occasional feature called Hitchcock or Disney. I’ll post a quote from a movie and you’ll have to guess who made it, Alfred Hitchcock or Walt Disney. (Bonus points if you guess the name of the movie.)

Here is today’s quote:

I warn you, dear child, if I lose my temper, you lose your head. Understand?

Think you know which man it came from? Post your guess in the comments section.
