Following in the current publishing world trend of putting leading actresses of the day in meticulously art directed recreations of Hitchcock films, naked Marilyn spreads, and other potentially terrifying scenarios, Jessica Alba sat for a series of iconic horror movie tableaus for Latina magazine. The shoot called upon the unsung-serious-actress- trapped-in- the-body-of-a -mindblowing-hottie to reach deeper into her own talent stores than ever before. And reach she did, pulling out every open-mouthed trick in her acting playbook, to put her own imprint on such iconic cinematic moments as (from L to R) Rosemary's Baby, the Psycho shower scene, and the climactic pigeon-attack from Working Girl.

Having already offered you a glimpse at the making of the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue Hitchcock portfolio, including some of the most incredible fake-emoting from Renée Zellweger we've seen since Oscars cameras caught Keira Knightley trying to look happy about Reese Witherspoon's Best Actress win, we thought it only fitting to now show you the final product. We put a few of our favorites after the jump; the rest can be found here. Pay particular attention for one classic shot of Seth Rogen fleeing from a crop-duster that finally answers the age-old question, "What if Cary Grant was a paunchy, 20-something Canadian Jew?"
