Psycho

Robert Bloch’s Psycho transfixed a nation when it appeared in 1959. The story was all too real – indeed this classic was inspired by the real-life story of Ed Gein, a psychotic murderer who led a double life. Alfred Hitchcock, too, was mesmerized, and turned the book into one of the most-loved classic films of all time the year after it was published. As the story goes…Norman Bates loves his Mother. The trouble is she’s been dead for the past twenty years, or so people think. Norman knows better though. He has lived with mother ever since leaving the hospital in the old house up on the hill above the Bates Motel. One night a beautiful woman checks into the motel and Norman spies on her while she is undressing. Norman can’t help spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife…Oh yes she is, she’s there to protect all of us!
