Halloween is nearly upon us! 

To celebrate, we've drawn from this Wikipedia list of quotes spoken by the man whose name is synonymous with fear: Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock was a master of cinema who specialized — and reveled — in terrifying his audience with psychological thrillers like "Psycho," and "Vertigo."

But there's more to the cinematic genius than you know. These quotes take you inside the mind of Hitchcock.

Be warned: They might disturb you.

On breakfast: "I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me.

I've never tasted it."
