Stockings or neckties?

[Rusk is my hero]

In the new book on “Frenzy” the author quotes from an early edition of the script that the victims were strangled with their own stockings/pantyhose. Obviously this was later changed to them being throttled by Rusk’s neckties.

Which do you prefer?

Before seeing the film, I would have opted for stockings for several reasons. Their use would have taken me back to the first real flowering of my fetish – a scene from a novel. I discovered a lot about myself that night! I still think there is a lot to be said – an additional level of excitement – in the woman’s hosiery being slipped down her legs and, still warm, being wrapped around her neck.

But overall for “Frenzy” itself it has to be neckties.

Something very deliberate about neckties. However, in this modern casual age, neckties may be cliche'

Pantyhose and stockings are more readily available.

Storylines benefit from both

I think strangling a woman with her ​​own stockings has a much stronger sexual element...But ties have also a symbolism ... Hitchcock knew it and he was a genius!!
