Last April, Netflix announced, to much fanfare, that it had secured the rights to streaming rights to a collection of films from horror legend Alfred Hitchcock, the director behind classic films like Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963).

However, it turns out that the celebration was short-lived. On Aug. 1, six iconic Hitchcock thrillers disappeared from the streaming service.
