Just a few ideas. I haven’t got a deck with me right now…

THE MOON – opening of REBECCA

THE TOWER – end of VERTIGO

WHEEL OF FORTUNE – climax of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

WEALTH – diamond-in-the-chandelier in FAMILY PLOT

THE MAGUS – Mr Memory in THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS

Will try to think of more later.

Sounds good! The worry is, if you actually used such a deck, would everybody get results like “You will have your eyes pecked out in a farmhouse,” or “You will fall off a famous monument”?

Or considering that the narration of REBECCA at the beginning is REBECCA herself,

The reading of THE MOON will be, you will die and tell your story from beyond the grave.

I never understood Tarot Cards, anyone willing to take pity on a dummy.

David W would be the man for the job! He’s rather psychic. gave up doing Tarot readings because it was too draining.

Although tese comments were posted ten years ago, I thought you would be interested to learn that Chris Leech has produced a deck and key book of the Alfred Hitchcock Tarot. He is presently getting funding through kickstarter. He also has produced four other decks and key books… take a look.

Thanks! That looks great. I’m glad somebody finally did something along these lines.
