Swimming pools are most often associated with relaxation and fun.

But, after waking up from a terrifying dream last night, I wish to make a horrible swimming pool, vaguely based on Hitchcock's movie The Birds.

The pool is circular, a rather narrow but very deep tube.

The pool is lit at the bottom.

You would only swim in it at night.

At the bottom of the tube-pool, there is a series of locks that can be opened. In the locks, a quantity of small, plastic, black birds is stored.

You would swim in the lit pool at night, and with the push of a button, the locks would open, and the plastic birds would swirl up towards the surface.

This is the Horrible Hitchcock Pool. The birdies will get you, somehow.

And does Hitchcock himself make one of his famous cameo appearances?

+ bun because I loved that movie, (and the idea)though the birds mightn't seem so scary in the water...

Make the birds out of helium-filled balloons. After they came to the surface they would continue to fly away.
