7. The Birds Has No Score

Hitchcock thought his swarm of murderous birds would be even more creepy and unsettling if his film didn’t have a conventional score. Instead, the world itself offers up brief snatches of musical accompaniment, and the direct leans heavily on bird sounds (obviously). Those sounds were actually created by Bernard Herrmann, the composer of Psycho, who was told by the director that his job wasn’t traditional music, but the creation of electronic bird calls.
