The article is fascinating but seems to give no context for the use of Hitchcock's name in the title, so I'm going to just go ahead and suggest it is regarding the film director's calculated formula for suspense:

or perhaps his differentiation between suspense and surprise:

- throwbadubadu 3y agoAfraid being too old, but what else? No other association comes up immediately for Hitchcock moment, a suspenseful moment in a film in his style :) And that matches the articles content for that observation here.. So: agreed! (if there is any doubt left).
- phatskat 3y agoI mean a “Hitchcock moment” could also be a moment when you “prank” your cast and crew in ways that range from honestly funny to downright psychopathic. I know that’s not it, and he was a brilliant artist, and also a horrible person.
- irrational 3y agoIt is clearly a reference to Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators. The explosion location is a mystery that will require the investigative power of three spunky teenagers working out of a junkyard to solve.
