As for Psycho - it's a classic, like the old Frankenstein. I saw the house used for the original Psycho when the daughters and I took in Universal Studios years ago.

Not that I spend a lot of time putting food in my character's mouths . . .<br /><br />I haven't read the book; seen the movie too often. I find it interesting that the shower scene was so scary at the time of filming; but it seems nearly all horror movies since have had at least one shower scene in them. Thrillers are my favorites because they delve so thoroughly into the psyche of a killer.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-53652130076790970342016-10-21T17:55:31.315-06:002016-10-21T17:55:31.315-06:00Interesting review on an old favorite.
