There is so much foreshadowing in this film but most people don't recognize it. The first time you see Marion in her underwear it's "pure" white and after she steals the money it's black. Also, all of the references to birds. The birds all over the office. Her name is Marion Crane and Norman tells her she eats like a bird. Finally, Norman is into taxidermy. He "preserved" his mother the same way he did the birds. Great reaction!

More references to birds: 1) Marion comes from Phoenix, a fabulous bird of legend. 2) As Sam leaves Lila at the hardware store to go look for Arbogast, for a moment, Lila is juxtaposed against the upside-down rakes at the hardware store. It creates a visual impression of Lila being some kind of giant human peacock, with rakes fanning out around her as if they were her tail-feather-like appendages. ... finally, 3) norman knocks a picture of a bird off the wall in Marion's motel room, when he first discovers the body, as 'norman.'

My father was an excellent violin player, and he knew my mother only saw “Psycho” once and it terrified her. The first time she took a shower at his apartment he stood in the hallway outside of the bathroom so she couldn’t see him (the door was open) and he played the Psycho shower scene song on his violin. She freaked out and from then on locked the bathroom door. Not that she was afraid of him, but the song just freaked her out too much.

The house was built on the Universal grounds (along with the motel), based on Edward Hopper's well-known 1925 painting, House by the Railroad Tracks, which was based on a real house at Haverstraw, NY. The motel section was torn down but the house still stands. That and the Munster house, also on the lot, gets used for SO MANY movies and tv shows, including often in Murder She Wrote. Each time, it gets filmed from a different direction, and they place trees and other foliage around it to disguise it. The Bates house was reproduced in HO scale for model railroads by Polar Lights. (I think they also did the Munster house and either they or another company offer a model of the Addams house.)

Notice that Norman told the detective that his mother is an invalid, which means that she would be handicapped. How could someone who is not just handicapped, but also elderly, wind up killing anyone? Yet, because of Norman's mental health issue, he truly thought it was his mother that was killing people, all the while thinking she was an invalid. I can't comprehend Norman's mind, and I wouldn't want to. Mental health problems are very sad to be honest, and there are so many people, even nowadays, who aren't as understanding of people with mental health issues as they could be. I can't imagine how scary it is for people with those kinds of issues.

I think part of him claiming she is an invalid, is an excuse - for anyone who asks - as to why she can't come out of the house and can't be seen by anyone. I think Norman actually thought "mother" was capable of murder, and the claim she couldn't get around was a lie, only to be told to others.

I've watched several different "Psycho" reactions, and it's always kind of a let-down when the reactor knows the twist, so I'm glad the two of you didn't. Also love that you got some of the references ("if it doesn't gel, it isn't aspic") that I don't think I've seen anyone else pick up on. If you want another Hitchcock movie, my vote is for "Rope" (It's loosely based on the real life Leopold & Loeb murders in 1920's Chicago, the whole movie is shot in only 10 shots, and it has Jimmy Stewart), or "Strangers on a Train".

GREAT REACTION and I was so glad you didn't get the twist until the right moment. Here's the answer to the question everyone has long awaited for. Why, in the old movies, did actors slide out of the passanger side of the car instead of the driver side? First of all, cras were bigger and roads were narrower than now. Getting out of the car on the driver side would certainly guarante your driver door to be knocked off its hinges and you in the hospital. Another reason is, back in the days, the front car seats, like the back seat, were bench seats. You could slide out easily from the driver side to the passanger side with little effort. Nowadays, cars don't have a front bench seat but have two separate seats with the middle where one can find the autonatic shift or the standard shift. Sliding out via the passanger seat was ideal for Hitchcock because he preferred to continue a shot without moving the camera to either follow the actor or to have the actor walk between the camera and the car.

Thanks for the reaction. Great to see that this movie is still so appealing to people. In 1990, I saw a documentary with people who had watched it when it premiered in cinema in 1960, 30 years earlier. There had been a lot of advertising on telly about this movie, so everyone was anxious, expecting the biggest thrill & suspense ever. Almost all of them told how bored they got, some people started to complain, some almost fell asleep, and then the shower scene happened. They all jumped up in their chairs and some screamed, because it was such a shocking scene & the main character got killed, too. During the rest of the movie, it was dead silent in the cinema room. They all realized that they were watching something special.

Here is a tip for figuring out the value of money in older films: They always give you a comparison. The $40,000 that Marion steals is the purchase price of a (presumably up scale) house. Simply figure what such a house would cost today and you have an approximate equivalent in today's currency. This trick saves a lot of needless calculation and works in nearly all older films. For example: In It's a Wonderful Life, the Bailey Building and Loan loans Ernie the taxi driver $5,000 for a house. Later in the movie, Potter offers George $20,000 a year or the equivalent of four houses.

The reaction to this innovative film in 1960 was sensational. It was talked about for years and years afterwards. Of course, over 65 years it’s been much copied and mined for Hitch’s genius directorial tricks and games so it just can’t have the same impact for us as we’ve seen these elements all our lives. This was the first time in Hollywood that a toilet bowl was filmed and flushed and Hitch had huge problems getting that past the censor. Also that our sympathies lie with a woman carrying on a lunchtime affair with a married man and that Janet Leigh was a thief seen in her brassiere. The killing off of the star lead 1/3 into the movie had never been done before nor had there been such a grotesque killing of a woman shown at such extended length and in detail. When another visionary British director, Michael Powell, made Peeping Tom which is in not a totally dissimilar genre, it ended his career. Hitchcock was brilliant and because he appeared in his own movies and fronted Alfred Hitchcock Presents on TV in his quirky style he was well known and beloved.

The $40,000 in “Psycho” is a MacGuffin. Alfred Hitchcock coined the term MacGuffin to describe an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself. The MacGuffin is usually revealed in the first act and thereafter declines in importance. It can reappear at the climax of the story but may actually be forgotten by the end of the story.

Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis were still married at the time she filmed Psycho and both were popular box-office movie actors and Hollywood sweetheart stars. Audiences in 1960 were shocked to have who they perceived to be the 'star' of this film killed off after only 40-45 minutes into the story and in such a brutal way. I'm sure many sat in stunned shock and didn't truly comprehend the rest of the story as the movie continued.

Wow.."Psycho" being viewed by a boy and his best friend (Mom); how appropriate. I enjoyed it a lot, since you are very observant, without being TOO picky and over-analytical, which can ruin a film like this. LIKE THIS?? What am I saying?.there ARE no other films like this! I recall my own mother seeing it with her friends in fall of '60 (I was 8) and being stunned. Audiences were expecting another big colorful Hitchcock suspense/thriller with big name stars (which Janet Leigh was), and instead saw a "B' black & white, low-budget pic..elevated by Hitchcock, Stefano (writer), cinematographer, editor, Herrmann (composer) to the status of high art. Very sharp to catch the young Ted Knight as the cop at the end. And yes, the line-reading of mother at the end was fabulous. I believe that was actress Virginia Gregg; in order to further mis-lead the audience Hitchcock use two different actresses for Ma's voice...Ms Gregg and the distinguished Jeanette Nolan (she played Lady MacBeth in Orson Welles' 1948 film), whom I believe did the mother's voice in the first (motel window) scene, and probably the "You think I'm fruity??" scene as well. Ms. Nolan was married in real-life to John McIntyre, who played Sheriff Chambers (but who did not do one of the heavenly voices in "Wonderful Life"..but he sounded very similar). And speaking of "Wonderful Life", NOBODY recognizes actor Frank Albertson (Cassidy w/ the $40K) as Sam "Hee-haw" Wainwright from "Wonderful Life" (though I see it listed here). Anyway, great job...reminding us again of the brilliance of "Psycho" and its continuing ability to shock and amaze us...even after 65 years of cinematic gore that it inspired. Often imitated, NEVER equaled!

At the time Psycho was made, people would often ignore the start time for a movie and just walk in on the middle of it. They'd watch the beginning of the next screening to get the whole show. Hitchcock asked theater operators not to let people do this with Psycho, so as not to spoil the surprises. He also asked audiences not to reveal any of the movie's secrets (this was a long time before the term "spoiler.") Hitchcock played a trick on the audience with this movie. The first part of the plot seems like one of his typical suspense stories. There was no clue that a murder would take place, so it was a big shock when it happened. They say women were afraid to take showers for years after Psycho came out. The score was by the great Bernard Hermann. It's so good that orchestras sometimes play it as a stand-alone piece of music, without the movie. Other Hitchcock movies I'd like to see you watch: Vertigo North by Northwest Rebecca Shadow of a Doubt Notorious Strangers on a Train Dial M for Murder

My mom let me watch this when it first came on broadcast TV. I was 9 or 10, so it would have been 1970 ish. I loved it but I had older cousins who never took a shower again. Still holds up so well.

So jaded are audiences now that it's rarely noted that Psycho was the first time a toilet was flushed in an American film. This was nearly as shocking as the shower scene at the time.

Not just flushed. It was the first time a toilet was shown, period.

Oddly Anthony Perkins wasnt even on the set( or in the state !) for shower scene(see A.Perkins on Johnny Carson / you tube)... & if u like Psycho, see Brian DePalmas 1980- "Dressed To Kill "

I would recommend Vertigo and North by Northwest to be next on your Hitchcock list.

Watch Hitchcock, the movie about the making of this. It was his wife Alma who was the writer. North by Northwest is a good Hitchcock movie. Cary Grant is a doll. Then Notorious, with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. It's black and white. Spellbound with Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Another black and white masterpiece.

Although it seems the money was somewhat irrelevant to the story, it is actually important. The missing money is what gives urgency to finding Marion.

You mean if it wasn't for money, no one would search for her?

30k in 1960 would be like 300k in today’s value.. so it’s more impressive than you think.

Ha, I hope they get into Mel Brooks' ''High Anxiety'' after a few more Hitchcock reactions :) It's his love letter to Hitchcock in the way of spoofs.

Great captivating reaction !! Yes, do more Hitchcock. I'd love to see you watch Rear Window. [Edited to correct myself:] I checked and saw that you already have watched Rear Window.

Very good reaction. BTW, can you guys going to react to "Psycho 2" and "Psycho 3", please? They're underrated movies and need to be acknowledged.
