All things considered, that's the cleanest motel bathroom I've ever seen.

If a time machine is invented, I wanna go back to 1960 to watch the audience reaction to first seeing this scene in the theatres.
@LEELOLKH
This scene took weeks to make and 70 cameras to record.

The scary part isn't the scene itself. It's every shower you take afterwards.

I like that her real life daughter is Jamie Lee Curtis who went in to star in her own iconic horror slasher: Halloween.

I have never seen anyone die so fabulously before.
@JFreese
Fun fact: The spinning shot away from Janet Leigh’s eye was shot 26 times. In the one useable shot she took a breath and this wasn’t noticed until after production and that’s why you see it cut so quickly to the shower head and back.
@AbandonedMines11
My God! That close-up of the eye is phenomenal! Great filming technique!

The legend says that the shower is still on

Moral of the story : Always lock the door.

Notice how you never see the knife actually penetrate Marion's body, and the only blood you see is swirling in the water. Yet audiences of that time remembered this as one of the most brutal, goriest murder scene in the history of cinema. And it's because at this point in the film, the audience has come to appreciate Marion Crane as a real person, not just another disposable victim. By this time, we understand her motives for doing what she's done, even if we might not condone it. She's almost been caught several times, and we've felt the tension right along with her. She's finally decided to do the right thing, bring the money back and face the consequences of her actions. And then this happens. Audiences were traumatized. What they thought was a morality play turned out to be something so different that they didn't know how to react, and the only thing they could do was find out what happens next in rapt silence.

I've never seen anyone so happy to take a shower...

Hitchcock’s masterpiece. He didn’t shock you by showing you a woman getting stabbed to death in a shower. He shocked you by making you feel like YOU were the one being stabbed to death in a shower. Less is always more when done correctly. Today’s directors should take note.
@jasonchilado
0:47 truly one of the most disturbing yet best shots in a horror film ever

First time I heard the music was when Darla walked in the room in finding nemo
@edbarnes6561
If only she had locked the door!
@YouCantHoldOnTooLong
For 1960, this movie was undeniably shocking! Back in that generation, things weren't as gory to the extreme as they are now for horror slasher movies. Therefore, Alfred Hitchcock was willing to push the envelope to the fullest extent imaginable for that time frame because he knew precisely what it took to scare the pants off of viewers! Psycho is one of the greatest classic thrillers of all time! ~Dutch

Fun fact: The actress getting stabbed is Jamie Lee Curtis mother which is funny given the fact that Jamie would star in her own horror movie Halloween later on.
