  [Hitchcock is looking at a shrunken head on a stand] 

  Himself - Host : Oh, good evening, ladies and gentlemen... especially the ladies. Now you see what might happen if you fall asleep under the dryer? Shrunken heads are a hobby of mine.

As you have, no doubt, already guessed, tonight's story has nothing whatsoever to do with shrunken heads. It is called "Back for Christmas."
