UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Murder, comedy, suspense and the supernatural come together in the 39 classic episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Two," available on DVD on October 17, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Two," a comprehensive five-disc anthology, includes every gripping installment of the acclaimed second season of this groundbreaking show, including "Fog Closing In," winner of the Emmy(R) for Best Teleplay Writing.

From the nightly appearance of Hitchcock's instantly recognizable silhouette to the haunting last notes of the show's eerie theme song, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Two" showcases the host's prodigious aptitude for storytelling.

The five-DVD set is priced at $39.98 SRP.
