Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies was a former 3D film, part live-action show at Universal Studios Florida. It featured attacks from birds similar to Hitchcock's film, The Birds, in the pre-show and featured the shower scene from the film, Psycho, in the main show with Anthony Perkins as the narrator who played the part of Norman Bates in Psycho.

As the guests were waiting outside the building, they saw movie posters of Hitchcock's movies, the guests then entered the building, and they saw a big collage of props from Hitchcock's films.

The pre-show began with a scene from The Wrong Man where Hitchcock told the audience that the new film is very extraordinary. It leads to a montage of clips from various movies. The film ended with a scene from Dial M for Murder in 3-D, but was interrupted by a swarm of attacking crows and seagulls from The Birds.

After the pre-show film ended, guests entered the main theater which consisted the set of Bates Motel and the house of Norman Bates. Anthony Perkins, the actor who played Norman Bates, narrated of how Hitchcock made Psycho the most frightening movie in cinematic history. He also explained about the camera techniques that were used in the shower scene. The clip of the shower scene from Psycho is shown.

It permanently closed on January 3, 2003 and got replaced by Shrek 4-D, and later Illumination's Villain-Con Minion Blast.
