I'm going to approach all of these like a producer who has heard everything before. I've been in the room with dozens of them on dozens of pitches.

Bwind - The pitch isn't bad, but it isn't terribly good either. Your acting choice was off and material wasn't really suited for Hitchcock.

Cactus - Pretty solid pitch. Good source material. Lovecraft was certainly an unknown back then and discovering him qwuold be quite a coup...but an "unseen force" doesn't sound very cinematic.

Freak - the first and last thing you say (write) are the thing that a producer remembers most. Upi opened tenative and closed with an apology. Negativity reaps negative results. And What piece from Citizen Kane? I'm not really seeing anything here.

Dude - all good choices, but what are YOU bringing to the table? A director needs to steer the ship and have ideas. I'm not seeing any.

Roshiq - excellent job sir. I agree with Neverending that you probably won't be able to neil down Lancaster and Douglas in a horror film, but the idea is exciting and getting a producer excited is the first step in getting a film greenlit. A Lewton/Tourner EVIL DEAD sounds fantastic. Great job!
