When others asked how the movie was, they would say "It's great" or "It's got a lot of twists," but they didn't spill anything.

This movie had exactly the effect on you that Hitchcock intended. He misled the audience into thinking the movie was about a woman stealing $40,000. The advertising for the movie didn't reveal anything, and he made theater operators agree not to let anyone into the screening rooms after the movie had started (something that was very unusual for the time). That shower scene is so iconic that most people who have never seen the movie know about it. Also, most people have at least heard of Norman Bates and the Bates Motel. The fact that it was all new to you really enhanced the experience. One thing I love about Psycho is the score, written by the great Bernard Hermann. It's so good that orchestras sometimes play it in concert as a stand-alone piece of music. I'd love to see you react to more Hitchcock movies. Vertigo, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Rebecca, Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train, To Catch a Thief, Notorious are all excellent.

When I had to take a film class, we went into this movie in depth. The teacher explained a lot of visual and psychological cues that a lot of people would miss. One of them was the main character Marion. We are drawn in to the main character’s story because Hitchcock deliberately wanted the audience to identify with her. When she’s murdered in the shower, he has in effect “killed the audience”. After a main character is killed, the audience automatically identifies with the next identifiable character and that is Norman Bates.

@@garryiglesias4074 True, but I am impressed, that the psychologist in the movie did separate whatever Norman Bates' problem was, from someone being a transvestite. That was pretty advanced for the time. Slightly off topic from the movie, but I remember back then, that people were often diagnosed as having a "nervous breakdown". It was a catch all term for someone who was normal, losing their mind often as a result of stress from their work or other situations. Rest and separation from the stress, sometimes in a hospital or other clinical setting, seemed to be the usual treatment for it. I never hear of it any longer. Supposidly, it's not used any longer, because "nervous breakdown" has been separated into many distinct issues which may need distinct treatment. The field of Psychology still has a lot to learn. Unfortunately, it's still pretty subjective.

I laughed out loud when you put up the "nothing is happening" notice while you were cringing with dread.

North by Northwest is a particular favorite of mine, but he's got a bunch worth watching.

This is why viewers are nervous about him being caught when he’s cleaning up the mess and trying to sink the car.

Fun fact, if you are watching PSYCHO on DVD or on any device that allows a slow motion feature, right as Norman is about to(near movie's end) give us his iconic creepy glare and smile, you can see a white skull to symbolize Norman is gone totally mad. Alfred Hitchcock purposely put that in the film, neat, huh?

Hitchcock was basically the Shakespeare of horror films. Unparalleled innovation in the genre, influence and staying power.

The "Mother" told him some of it, the rest he pieced together.

The show Bates Motel is based out of this movie. It’s one of my favorite series!! It’s so underrated. It’s SO good. It stars Vera Farmiga as Norma Bates (his mother) and Freddie Highmore as Norman. They’re absolutely amazing in it. I swear if you watch it you won’t regret it!

There actually was awareness of multiple personality disorder in 1960 because a famous book called "The Three Faces of Eve" had been made into a big Hollywood movie a few years earlier. It was about an actual case.

This movie really creeped me out when I was a kid, and it's a real joy seeing it through fresh eyes! Hitchcock didn't often do horror, but what he was really great at was building suspense through all those moments when nothing seems to be happening. For another old movie that's more mystery than horror, The Wicker Man (1973) is a real classic.

Hitchcock could make you jump out of your seat, and all with minimal gore, no special effects, no CGI. Just pure talent.

I actually had a flim course in college, and this film was studied. The use of camera angles and shadows is a major part of the creepiness of this movie. Along with the music score. Their are so many great things in this movie. It's a great movie.

Psycho... one of the best movies ever made.. and Norman Bates, one of the most famous "bad guys" in the history... What a marvelous combination of actors/actresses and director... Thanks for the reaction...

"Fun" facts: 40,000 dollars back then was close to 300,000 today. She's lucky she was even able to buy that car without her husband there to be the responsible adult. Things were starting to change around 1960, but there were parts of the country where that wouldn't have been possible. The "blood" in the bathtub was chocolate syrup. This was the first time a flushing toilet was shown on screen in the US. The old woman in the exposition scene where we learned about Norman's mother's recent history was Lurene Tuttle. She was basically the Meryl Streep of radio dramas in the 40's and 50's. She did voices from little kids to sultry vamps, sometimes in the same 30 minute show.

They used to have an exhibit at Universal Studios where they would show the shower scene, and then break down how Hitchcock filmed it. How we never actually see the knife make contact with Janet, the blood was actually chocolate syrup, and Hitchcock famously used freezing cold water without preparing the actress to get a reaction. The scene scared me so much that I wouldn’t take showers for years, only baths. There were three consecutive exhibitions, the first Back to the Future, then Psycho, lastly Harry and the Hendersons. I would elect to to sit out from the Psycho one for the next few years after that traumatic first experience, at least till I was older. Such a scary scene, and movie as a whole. There’s also a tram ride/tour at Universal where they used to to drive by the old Psycho house exterior. It’s much smaller than it appears, to give the appearance of distance. Still looked terrifying though. On an unrelated note, you should react to 2001: A Space Odyssey, if you haven’t yet. Probably one of the greatest films ever made. Thanks for the reactions! 🤗

When "Psycho" was first released, Alfred Hitchcock and the studio gave a unique order to theaters showing the movie: once the movie started, nobody was allowed to enter the theater showing it. That was to keep anyone from giving away any plot points, keep the secrets a surprise, and get the fullest response from the audiences. There were screams, fright, and stories of some people passing out. It was definitely a different time for movie audiences.

The real reason they wouldn't let anyone in late was because they were afraid that late commerce would miss Janet Liegh's appearances completely and be confused.
