❤BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤
PSALM 46:10 KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
One of my fav reactors reacting to one of my fav directors, thanks.
Hope you do more I know you will enjoy them, "Rear Window" "Vertigo" "Dial M for Murder" "Rebecca" etc
What you are seeing in this film is the early days of the "Multiple Personality Disorder" hysteria that ran rampant through the USA during the latter 1950s, throughout the 1960s and that peaked in the 1970s with the book (1973) and made-for-TV film (1976) "Sybil." The bottom fell out on the MPD craze when it was discovered that the therapist and Sybil had largely faked the whole thing. Oh, she was mentally ill alright, schizophrenic, but that is when all schizophrenia was tainted with so-called multiple personality disorder. Psychiatrists went nuts! "Sybil had 16 personalities? Well, my patient has 24!" And on and on... until: "64 distinct personalities." All nonsense. Hysteria. And a lot of people who needed help were drugged and mis-treated for their illnesses. You saw at the end of "Psycho" the man explains, pointing his finger, pacing around: "..but in reality, it was his MOTHER who..." blah, blah, blah. People ate that stuff up by the bucket! But by the 1980s that embarrassing and damaging phase of fad psychology was over and relegated to Robin Williams punchlines, and even as recent as 2000 with the film: "Me, Myself and Irene," (funny as heck, you got to watch). Today? They now have transgenderism. Same thing: a craze that started in the 1950s. "Not 2 sexes, but 3... intersex." Then "There are 4 genders, don't forget about neutral," says another expert in some article he's promoting for the magazine "Psychology Today." Then 12...24... and yep! 64 distinct genders." It is EXACTLY same game that's being played and targeted to vulnerable children and teens. Human beings: The more we change, the more we stay the same. God bless the children.
Psalms Chapter 23
Do you know this one?
lame ass cut edits on the kill count .. you should hire a new editor
Fun fact: Vera Miles, who plays Marion's sister Lila, is still alive! She turned 94 in August!
Tippi Hedren (The Birds) is also 94. And Kim Novak (Vertigo) is still around at 91.
@@histubeness Something that's also interesting- Norman's actor Anthony Perkins's son, Oz Perkins, has a new horror movie coming out soon with Nicolas Cage called Long Legs! He has another horror movie called I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, I think it's on Netflix. Oz Perkins was also an actor in Legally Blonde as Reese Witherspoon's tall awkward classmate, but sadly he missed the premiere because his mother, Berry Berenson Perkins (sister of Cabaret and Barry Lyndon actress Marisa Berenson) was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11 in the September 11th attacks. Needless to say, I'm rooting for the guy. What an unusual life.
I believe Vera Miles is the only living actor from this film .
@@SJ-ty5rw Yes, as far as I know. John Gavin and Patricia Hitchcock both passed recently.
@@SJ-ty5rwshe is the final girl
Anthony Perkins was chosen because of his "boy next door" persona in earlier movies. Ironically, after this movie, he had a bit of trouble finding work because he was so associated with this role. He actually wasn't even present for the shower scene. He was acting in a Broadway play at the time and a body double was used.
Although he later married a woman, it's generally acknowledged that Perkins was a closeted gay man. He later died of AIDS in 1990. His widow later died on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Their son Oz Perkins later became an actor and filmmaker. You might've seen him as Reese Witherspoon's tall classmate in "Legally Blonde".
Janet Leigh was the mother of Jamie Lee Curtis, who is also famous for another horror/slasher film franchise, "Halloween".
the A.P. flick before this one will rock Yer brain. ' On the Beach ' with G. Peck. totally different. Flick was the inspiration for the song ' Morning Dew'. by Canadian B. Dobson, made famous by G.Dead.
Shame he had trouble getting roles because he’d proved his skills in this one.
@@BeeWhistler It happened a lot with actors who play iconic roles, especially in the 60's. The same thing happened to Malcolm McDowell for many years after "A Clockwork Orange", Don Adams after "Get Smart", Adam West and Burt Ward after "Batman", and, of course, the original "Star Trek" cast.
He died in 1992
Oddly Perkins was on other side of the country when shower scene was filmed- he says on Johnny Carson youtube
An interesting detail - when this movie was made, you simply DID NOT show a toilet. They had never been seen in a movie before. So when Hitchcock showed it during the shower scene, movie audiences were immediately shocked and offended. It was disturbing, in that it told the audience, “We’re going places with this movie you’ve never gone before!”
great tidbit!
Were toilets just more dirty and less maintained in those days?
@@ProtossWannabe1984 I would assume it was just a modesty and decency issue.
That's a myth about toilets never being seen before in movies:
I could name 2 well known Hollywood movies from the late 1950s that showed toilets very openly: "No Time for Sergeants" ('58), & "The Last Mile" ('59).
@@ProtossWannabe1984 At that time, the toilet in my parents' home was perfectly clean, and that was a working class family.
My good friend Dorothy's dad did the music for this film. Absolutely fantastic reaction.
Bernard Herrmann? Wow. He was unsurpassed.
Bernard Herrmann is one of my favorite composers!
Great composer!
"She needs ME. It's not as if she were a maniac, a raving thing. She just goes - a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?"
"Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough."
Fun Fact: This was the highest-grossing movie of Sir Alfred Hitchcock's career.
Music Enthusiast Fact: The score is played entirely by stringed instruments. Director Sir Alfred Hitchcock was so pleased with the score written by Bernard Herrmann that he doubled the composer's salary.
Up Close And Personal Fact: In order to implicate viewers as fellow voyeurs, Sir Alfred Hitchcock used a 50 mm lens on his 35 mm camera. This gives the closest approximation to the human vision. In the scenes where Norman (Anthony Perkins) is spying on Marion (Janet Leigh), this effect is felt.
Subtle Visual Cues Fact: In the opening scene, Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is wearing a white bra and has a white purse because Sir Alfred Hitchcock wanted to show her as being angelic. After she has taken the money, the following scene has her in a black bra and black purse because now she has done something wrong and evil.
Never knew that about Hitchcock's use of that lens!
His acting is so good. Sweet one minute then terse.
My parents were newlyweds in 1960 and went on a double date with my mother's brother and his girlfriend . . . to see the new movie "Psycho" at the Drive-In Theater in Phoenix, AZ. At the point where Normie's mommy is revealed it shocked my dad so much that he accidently ripped the armrest off the door of my uncle's mid 1950s Ford sedan car. The two guys fixed it later that weekend. Also, $40K for a house in 1960 was a NICE house. The average price of a 2 or 3 bed and 1 bath modest but nice house was more like $5-10K. Fascinating psych story in this movie. Thanks for sharing!
If you are going to watch more Hitchcock movies, here are 2 fun facts:
1. You probably already know that he made a cameo appearance in every one of his movies. Part of the fun is trying to guess where he will appear.
2. Hitchcock's idea of suspense was to let the audience know something that the characters don't know. In Psycho the audience knows that the detective was murdered by the mother in the house, but Marion's sister did not know this. And so when we the audience see Marion's sister in the house, we yell out to her: "Don't go there!" or "Get out of there!", and it drives us crazy because we don't know what's going to happen.
Janet Leigh was a huge star. She and her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, are the only mother/daughter scream queens in iconic horror films. Tony Perkins was known for playing lovable, sweet young boys in romcoms. This movie was seismic change in horror films, and hugely influential in birthing so many tropes. The parlor scene is filled with hidden meanings - watch it again knowing what you know now. Even her name, Crane - a crane is a bird, and she's surrounded by dead birds. $40,000 then is about $400,000 in today's money. The sequel was made 22 years later and is well worth your time.
Can’t even imagine, back in 1960, what went through the audience’s mind when they saw the shower scene and when it was revealed Norman, dressed up like his mother, was doing the killings. That was a much more innocent time.
Right? Also just the scene at the beginning with the secret lovers, half-naked. I was surprised to see that in a 60s movie. I'd like to hear more about how people reacted to movies that were challenging. Perkins also did other movies like Goodbye again and Phaedra that must've been considered provocative (young man with older woman).
or ignorant time
Interesting fact- Anthony Perkins ( Norman) was on the other side of the country ( NY)- when Hitchcock filmed the shower scene - Perkins says this when on Johnny Carson youtube 🔪🔪🔪
Hitch made this film on a shoestring budget, using the crew and sets from his TV series. It turned a big profit. Killing off the original protagonist (Oscar-nominated Janet Leigh) so early on was a mind-blower at the time.
Love to see and hear your reaction to Hitchcock's marvelous "Rear Window" (1954) and its remarkable (color) production design and engaging suspense. It's also amusing at times in classic Hitchcock fashion.
Hitchcock's little macabre touches of humor made audiences love him.
Anthony Perkins did such an incredible job as Norman.
He also plays a "disrurbed" individual in a great movie called "Pretty Poison", co-starring the beautiful Tuesday Weld. It's an underappreciated film, but it does have a cult following. Well worth a watch.
Other great black and white masterpieces are:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Paper Moon
Oh, and by the way, congrats on watching your first Hitchcock.
He made over 50 movies so there are loads more - but they’re not anywhere near as scary as Psycho.
His other movies are more old fashioned and mild suspense. But very entertaining storytelling.
I love Rear Window.
And two other B&W jewels are Witness For The Prosecution from 1957 and my favorite movie of all, Lilies Of The Field made in 1963.
Both of those movies are great choices. "Mockingbird" is on my top 5 list along with "Grapes of Wrath". "Paper Moon" is up there with One of my favorite comedies, "Some Like It Hot".
A house costing $40k in 1960 sounds great. But, per the US census bureau website, the average household income in 1960 was $5,600.
Great reaction, I truly envy people who can experience this for the first time. This film is over 60 years old, but still excellent.
Psycho II, although few who haven't seen it believe this, is a worthy sequel to this film that I think Hitchcock himself would have approved of (had he not passed away 3 years before it was made). Spookily, they also inserted a cameo from Hitchcock in Psycho II, which you'll likely miss. You cut right past his cameo in this film, he was stood outside the office when Marion arrived at work. Please do Psycho II at some point, you won't regret it.
I urge every reactor who watches 'Psycho' to react to 'Psycho II' - I find it far better than this one.
@@rnw2739 Yeah I was shy of commenting that I enjoyed Psycho II even more than Psycho, fearful of the hate that might inspire from other commenters.🤣
I don't find it 'far better' personally, but I certainly enjoy it more... marginally.
@FrancisXLord I know what you mean, but I've grown to not care about the cries of 'sacrilege!' and 'heretic!' from others when I state my allegiance to 'Psycho II'.
To me it is far better as it is a complete character study of Norman and making an audience feel sympathy for the monster is quite some feat to pull off!!! I also adore Jerry Goldsmith's score far more than Herrmanns ......then there's the wonderful Meg Tilly.....
I find the sequel so much more rewatchable than the original but as you rightly say, there are many people who think I should be in the next cell to Norman when I say that lol.
I really hope she reacts to it!
If you think YOU ain't seen nothing like that in your life, imagine how it came across in 1960!
The $40,000 that the amiable drunk paid for the house was equivalent to around $450,000 today. Pretty damn nice house.
Anthony Perkins was in the movie On the Beach the year before Psycho. It's about the aftermath of a nuclear world war. Perkins plays a naval officer - a gentle young man who has his hands full with his assignments, his baby daughter, and his wife who can't handle the fact that the human race is doomed. The movie was in black-and-white. Another black-and-white movie of the same year was Anatomy of a Murder, set in Upper Michigan (and filmed on location), with James Stewart as a criminal-defense lawyer.
I second the recommendation of Anatomy Of A Murder which costars Lee Remick and she's unforgettable.
There's a sweetly sad moment between Perkins and the actress playing his wife as they recall when they first met. "I thought you were beautiful", he tells her. "I thought you were so underfed," she replies. Gregory Peck, Ava Gardiner and Fred Astaire are among the others in this sad, strange movie.
The dramatic music action! 😂🤓🇬🇧
I'm glad you didn't know the twist ending before watching.
Shadow of a Doubt, Vertigo, Rope - great Hitchcock
You forgot North by Northwest. That was very white of you.
BIrds
Good reaction as always, Gabby. This movie is way before my time, but I've seen it a few times. Awesome movie. And btw, inflation-adjusted, the $40,000.00 that she stole in 1960, is equivalent to around $424,000.00 today in 2024. So, the client was purchasing a $424,000.00 home for his daughter....in cash in an envelope.
Anthony Perkins was brilliant in this role. So good!
Fun fact Janet Leigh was Jamie Lee Curtis MOM‼️ her dad, iconic actor Tony Curtis 🤣. Janet wasn't in the shower, stand in. Jump in to Hit Hitchcock best movies
Thanks for the Bible verse! A $40,000 house was a real luxury in 1960. My mom bought a house in 1962 for $12K. 3:40 Lots of people don't notice Marion's expressions change while she's driving, but you did! Always liked the crooked smile when she thought she was getting away with the crime😏. 8:00 Yeah, Norman got experience in an institution, a madhouse. 8:47 The shower scene still makes me flinch some. 11:02 If you like Martin Balsam's (Juror #1, Arbogast), acting, watch him as a thief who's rolling in money in The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" from 1974.
my grandpa was looking at new houses;
one was $18,000, & he was friends with the realtor,
who said they would sell it for $15,000,
& my grandpa went "Who can afford that?!"
...but then he bought a new 1959 Cadillac for $5,000
Some consider Lila Crane to be the very first "final girl."
This movie is a certified classic. Many modern day movies have copied and pasted direct storylines and quotes. For example.... 8:12...Scream (1996) borrowed that line.
The shower scene as well as the shocking twist ending was on Bravos 100 Scariest Movie Moments!
Your reaction was intelligent, insightful, entertaining and overall fun to watch! New subscriber! 🥰
There isn't a single sequence in this cult shocker that makes anyone laugh. On the contrary.
This masterpiece is truly the mother of all (psychological) thrillers.
Anthony Perkins plays his role outstandingly.
The genius of Hitchcock is that he transfers the person you identify with from Marion to Norman in one shot -- when the car STOPS descending into the swamp...momentarily.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I remember showing this film to my young nephew years ago. He dismissed it at first because it was in b&w, but quickly became mesmerized by it. When it was over, he was like "What a great movie!" Of course I had to laugh at this.
Many, if not all, of Hitchcock's films were experiments in filmmaking in one way or another.
In "Psycho," the killing of Marion, the protagonist, disorients the viewer by eliminating someone the film spent some time investing itself in, disrupting the classical model of narration. The film sustains its momentum by transitioning the viewers' interest to Norman before settling on Lila and Sam.
The thematic elements present in Psycho are classic Hitchcock cinema: psychotic behavior, voyeurism and mother figure/motherhood. These themes are also explored in Hitchcock's Rear Window, Notorious, Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt. Indeed, "Shadow of a Doubt" may be regarded as an early "Psycho" precursor. In "Psycho" these themes are explored in greater depth.
Hitchcock's studio, Paramount, refused to fund "Psycho" because it had no faith in the source material. So, the film was an experiment in its production. "Psycho" is based on a 1959 novel by Robert Bloch of the same name. Today, both the novel and the film are considered masterpieces of the horror genre. Paramount also would not agree to distribute the film without major concessions from Hitchcock. These included Hitchcock personally financing the project himself while foregoing his usual director’s fee. For his part, Hitchcock retained 60% ownership of the film. Hitchcock mortgaged his own house to finance the film and shot it using his tv crew. Hitchcock had a popular weekly tv anthology series at the time. Clearly, he had a lot of confidence in his tv crew. This low-budget film quickly made millions and made Hitchcock a lot of money.
The music for "Psycho" was by Bernard Herrmann, regarded as one of the greatest composers for film. Because the film was low-budget, Herrmann scored it for strings only as opposed to full orchestra. So, the effect in tone-color is also rather b&w. I think if you look at the score, say, of the shower scene, the notes resemble a slash!
The dialogue in the film is also fantastic. I love how when Marion is eating, Norman drops a hint that his mother is like his stuffed birds. "She's as harmless as one of those stuffed birds." Marion's last name is "Crane," like a bird. This film is chock-full of all sorts of allusions and symbolism.
Circa 1960, just about every car had bench seats. The gear shift was on the steering wheel column so that wouldn't have hindered you. Most cars were manual transmission, too, and without power steering or aircon. Also, by this time, seats were primarily vinyl and fairly slippery. So, it was especially easy to slide across them. The ignition, lights, and wiper knobs were on the dash. It was no problem to just slide across and exit the car on the other side if you wanted to. It could also be safer, if you were parking on the street. You could slide across and get out curbside instead of in the street. Or even because it was quicker to get where you wanted to go rather than walk around the car. Maybe the ground was muddy, too. Lots of reasons to do this. Ah, the younger generation. They don't know so much. They should go to old car shows and check out these beautiful old cars. By the way, if there's ever an EMP, I believe these old cars would still work, the new ones for sure wouldn't.
Oh, by the way, that $40,000 would today be over $400,000. So not chump-change.
Fun fact Janet Leigh is actually Jamie Lee Curtis's real life mother
Need to do Hitchcock’s Rear Window next.
Great reaction, thanks for watching this classic.
My Dad took my mom to see this in the theater. My mom said she couldn't take a shower for weeks after this movie.
Nice reaction. It's a great film. You might like the sequel Psycho 2 from 1983, it's a follow up and it's really good. It's more of a slasher flim, but worthy follow up. Hitchock has plenty of great films to check out. You might enjoy Vertigo, North By NorthWest, Rear Window, Dial 'M' for Murder, Strangers On A Train. Good stuff.
Great commentary and reaction! 👏🏾Well done that you recognized "juror #1" ftom 12 Angry Men as well 😊👍🏾
Psycho II is a direct sequel made with some of the same crew. It also stars Vera Miles in the same role.
I think you'd like Vertigo. Many film critics consider it to be Hitchcock's masterpiece.
They made a show called Bates Motel a few years ago. It's a show about before mother died. It's awesome! Definitely worth the watch!
Great reaction. Two fun facts, if no one else has mentioned them:
1. The character Norman Bates is based on the serial killer Ed Gein.
2. Hitchcock made a deal with theater owners that no one who came late would be allowed to watch the movie.
A superb film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense and murder. This has become an iconic movie in the history of the cinema.
As always a enjoyable reaction with you. The secretary had some of her own psycho moments.
Hitchcock was a master film maker. You can see his influence in many modern films. He was years ahead of his time
And much of Hitchcock's influence in today's movies comes from his first experiences directing silent films in the 1920's, where he learned to tell the plot story by visual means only, as he does here in Marion's bedroom at home, Norman cleaning up Cabin #1 and Lila searching the Bates' house.
Recent subscriber. I’m glad you appreciate and enjoy classic films. Your energy in your reactions is fun to watch. Hoping to see more John Carpenter film reactions. God bless!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!🙏🏽
Psycho 2 and 3. Youll thank me. Love your channel!
With so many amazing Alfred Hitchcock films out there it's hard to pick one over the other they're all just that good. I highly recommend 'The Birds', 'Dial M for Murder', 'Rear Window', and my personal favorite: 'Vertigo'.
I would add North by Northwest to that list, you’ll get a good sense of Hitchcock. Keep going!
I loved your reaction. It's one of the best
Bob Dylan wrote a song referencing this movie, "Motorpsycho Nitemare".
Great reaction ! Glad you appreciated this timeless classic
Girlfriend, "Rear Window" is next.
Ahhh, Halloween 🎃 has come very early. 😂😂😂 Great reaction! 👍🏿
❤
That outfit is spectacular. Like most of your reactions, others pale in comparison. You are so freaking entertaining to watch. I think this has to be my favorite psycho reaction, hands down.
They used to have a Hitchcock building at Universal Studios Florida where you would watch part of "The Birds" in 3D! Also, they had an amazing set for Psycho and they reenacted the shower scene! They also revealed that back then they used Hershey's Chocolate Syrup for the blood in the tub as it looked the most realistic in black and white!
Great reaction Californiablend! It’s always fun to see a new viewer get surprised by the plot twists in this movie. Now almost 65 years old, it shocked everyone who saw it when it came out. Multiple Personality Disorder was just beginning to being diagnosed at the time.
Great reaction.
"Get in your car. Zoom Zoom"
The End
Roll credits
When talking to Sam Norman had a nervous finger tapping
great video, love and blessings!
The sequels are perfect for Halloween reactions. They go into 80s slasher territory.
This movie is a gem!!! Thanks for a great reaction.
At the end of the day, movie watching is all about entertainment. Welcome to the world of old (B+W- the horror!) movies. How many modern movies give you this much entertainment?
20:41 Bates: “Don’t you misgender me!”
Cop: “Sorry… _they_ feel a little chill.”
But it wasn’t a misgender because right before it the psychologist says that the mother half had taken over and he was only mother.
@@SarahManley Alright, then… _she_ feels a little chill. He was still misgendered. 🤓
Alfred Hitchcock was a pioneer in storytelling. At the time, scenes like the shower scene were very controversial. Not to mention, killing off the main protagonist. There were layers built up through the movie, that made you feel like yeah Norman is a bit off, but you get why. It was a real shocker because much of the suspense, and build up. Love your videos, keep them coming.
This movie gave an entire population of people the fear of taking a shower.
Damn I've seen 12 angry men and this movie numerous time and I never noticed the PI was in both lol.
11:32...I could be wrong but I think this cop/detective played the foreman/juror #1 in Twelve Angry Men.
As I watched all I could do was smile and think was..... "She doesn't know".
Got to checkout Vertigo. One of Hitchcock’s best. Stars James Stewart (my favorite actor) and Kim Novak.
I loved your comments and reactions to this classic Hitchcock film! Yoi have a new subscriber - me.
Welcome to the channel!
I love that you didn't have a long introduction
So fun fact: Psycho, the book this movie is adapting, the character of Norman Bates, and certain story details were inspired by the mind and crimes of serial killer Ed Gein. Gein got infamous after he dug up corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin. As well as killing two women and being suspected in the murders of other missing people. He was also known to have tried making a "woman suit" so he could transorm into his dead mother. Ed Gein famously inspired the creation of Norman Bates from this movie, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
Classic
The main actress is Jamie Lee Curtis’s Mom.
A boys best friend is his mother.......imagine Jack Nickelson saying that. BRR.
That 40k, is equal to $420,000 today 2024.😊
Hitchcock was a genius with creating suspense.
California, you look like a movie star in black and white.
The first house I ever bought we not only bought it -- we built it. Brand new. 2BR/1BA brick ranch on 1/4 acre lot that backed up on a small lake. Cost $22,500. Monthly payments were $162.50.
never saw 12 angry men. i know the guy from archie bunkers place.
I've seen this movie more than 50 times and picked up something crucial to the film, each time. Hitchcock was the master of subtleties in his movies.
Brilliant! And the movie was pretty good too! 😂
Always a classic, for a reason.
This is Hitchcock's most notorious film but it is not the most typical. The only typical aspect is that it shows his amazing skill at keeping the audience guessing. It seems that none of his movies end up in the direction they set off. There are twists and turns that are almost always entertaining. The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, The Shadow of a Doubt, Lifeboat, Suspicion, Foreign Correspondent (my favourite), and anything from the 1950's are lots of fun.
Ted knight is one of the guards at the end
There are so many great Hitchcock movies; please do more. You cannot help but love them.
This classic would easily win Best Picture nowadays, ANY YEAR.
But, in 1960, it wasnt even nominated.
Think about that when you go on your journey of classic films.
How many outstanding films didnt even get a Best Picture nomination like:
12 Angry Men, for one.
Anthony Perkins performance is my favorite by an actor (James Dean is amazing too) Psycho 2 is good too!
Psycho II is outstanding!
Great reaction! Now go watch Psycho 2.
Hi Gabby, love your channel, you have to watch The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (1974), really great movie, also Martim Balsam from 12 Angry Men is in this one too ! Have a great weekend !
I first saw “Psycho” when I was 12 and from then on I locked the bathroom door whenever I took a shower. Horror movies seldom scare me because they’re usually totally unrealistic, but what made “Psycho” so effective as a scary movie was that there wasn’t anything in it that couldn’t happen for real. Freddy Kruger or Michael Myers are not going to sneak into your bathroom and stab you to death in the shower, but a real person might.
Rear Window, The Birds and Rebecca all great Hitchcock films❤
19:03 Yup, _that_ was the reaction Hitchcock was going for. 🤦♂️
Now that you have seen 'Psycho', you should definitely watch the 2012 movie 'Hitchcock' starring Anthony Hopkins as Sir Alfred and his wife Alma played by Helen Mirren. It gives you good insight as to what Hitchcock went through with the studio insofar as the censorship that existed at that time and the making of 'Psycho', which was very much groundbreaking film in the horror/mystery/suspense genre . And it also showed how Alma was very much involved with the creative writing process.
Good video. BTW, have you heard of a "Psycho 2" and "Psycho 3"? If not, then you should react to them, since they don't get as much attention as the first movie.
40k in 1960 was equal to almost 423k in today's money. A pretty nice house back then.
The conversation in the car was in her head since the theft hadn't been discovered yet.
