I need some help I'm trying to figure out a plot on a show I watch and there have been clues to lead me to the conclusion that perhaps this has something to do with one of Alfred Hitchcock's plots/stories.

Here's the info:

The woman I speak of is the killer:

- The woman gets a pillow at a will reading, which reads The Sleeping Beauty In the Woods, she pricks her finger on a needle sticking out of one of the flowers which adorn it.

- The woman's family hope chest is opened by her daughters.

- The woman (a psychiatrist to be exact) goes to Colorado to visit her parents and son.

- Killings begin while she is gone, and she returns shortly after the first murder.

- Four more people die and then she herself is poisoned, but she is saved by the love of her husband.

- A psychic predicts that she (the woman) will be killed by her husband, which is completely absurd as he would die before doing that.

- The woman kills 3 more people.

- After killing people she seems to be disoriented, and confused.

Okay does any of that sound REMOTELY close to any Hitchcock plot or story or movie at all? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There was certainly no such ep on the original AHP series.
