CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lila (Vera Miles) comes face to face with Mrs. Bates; Norman (Anthony Perkins) rushes at Lila, but Sam (John Gavin) arrives just in time.
I first saw this movie in high school with a bunch of people who didn't know the twist*. I'll never forget hearing the gasps when she turns around turn to laughter when Norman runs in (it's that smile and the dress--he looks like the Joker doing a Monty Python sketch)
*I did, thanks to a lifetime of watching cartoons parody stuff. Made it easier to appreciate the crowd's reactions.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was already famous as the screen's master of suspense (and perhaps the best-known film director in the world) when he released Psycho and forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in 1960), Psycho announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before, and on that score what followed would hardly disappoint. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is unhappy in her job at a Phoenix, Arizona real estate office and frustrated in her romance with hardware store manager Sam Loomis (John Gavin). One afternoon, Marion is given $40,000 in cash to be deposited in the bank. Minutes later, impulse has taken over and Marion takes off with the cash, hoping to leave Phoenix for good and start a new life with her purloined nest egg. 36 hours later, paranoia and exhaustion have started to set in, and Marion decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel, where nervous but personable innkeeper Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cheerfully mentions that she's the first guest in weeks, before he regales her with curious stories about his mother. There's hardly a film fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable bits throughout this film. The first of a handful of sequels followed in 1983, while Gus Van Sant's controversial remake, starring Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche, appeared in 1998.
Music from this movie definitely inspired the composer for American Psycho.

Listen Janet leigh's shower scream is an iconic cinematic scene, but Vera miles's basement scream is also amazing, such terror in her voice

That smile as he comes in… god damn. Iconic.
@craigmurdock4740I love that there’s no music playing during the body reveal and they save the cue for when Norman enters the room
@Misstealeaves-c2qThis, the ending of Blair Witch Project, and the scene with Wendy in the bathroom in The Shining are just ingrained in my memory. All phenomenal scenes.
@TheReigningRavenThis scene is just...INSANE. It's about monstrous, uncontrollable madness. Imagine this VERY nervous woman who, deep down, knows her sister is probably dead, going through that creepy house, discovering a mummified corpse and realizes her worst fears have come true, and then this maniac comes in, dressed as his mother and wielding a butcher knife..I think I'd have a heart attack.
@michaelwilk1986I'm glad I waited until I was an adult to watch pyscho because this would've given me nightmares as a kid.
@B.B.H2.0Norman looked like Jim Carrey when he bursts in.
@TheArtofGuitar22 years later her daughter would die in that same room
@jaamal6369Película terminada 24 de enero del 2026, de culto
@di3go246This movie in theatre had the same effect ( people fainting and leaving the theatre ) of the exorcist 10 years later
@luislizard2626Maybe Norman Bates is schizophrenic or even clairvoyant if he claims to hear his mother talking to him, even though he killed her.
@williameggleton414the most horrible thing is that this is actually based on a true story
@burburchachaWoke up in the middle of the night and randomly thought about this scene. shudders

@pailin_BBLIt's intriguing aspect that just as Lyla about to escape She does suddenly double take of Cellar door. What made her decision go down those stairs. Instead of running out front door to Safety?
@PaulHFlemingWhen he held the knife, the sounds of screaming was that of Norma Bates when she was killed, I think.
@RoseQueen215I always liked when Vera Miles does a double look at the cellar door..
@LawrenceDeleauWas I the only one that first thought Bates was yelling out "Normandy" the first few times?
@Glitchy1987-b8wWho else came here from the Ed Gein monster series?
@TheVargasBoysI honestly thought Norman was going to stand by the doorway in his mother’s clothes and silently watching Lila until she turns around

The best thing about this scene is the hysterical terror at finding a corpse, which immediately gives when to utter astonishment at the sight of a murderous transvestite.

@pornpavit-x3zEish, Alexander, what did that woman do to you, my boy? As someone who survived working for a boss who tried to bully, manipulate, intimidate and persecute me into a twisted semblance of a relationship with her, without ever having a single conversation with me, you have my deepest sympathies. Your mother was driven by fear of losing you so she became a tyrant and destroyed you altogether. Thanks for the forewarning. 🙏🙄🤡
@RY-fe3rtI'm nearly 50, I've seen Psycho maybe 6 or 7 times but something never changes about this film that keeps giving me the chills every time I see it. Few horror films since then came near but none of them met the same level in terms of ancestral and hidden fears. What is it about this film that's so timeless ? Everything is perfect .
@MrMickaoNorman lost his mind
@Rodney-s7d2cI still have Nightmares of this Movie and I am 58, I watched this back in the early 70's when I was very young
@Greg-l6sI'm here after watching Ed Gein
@mrrandom1265Before Jigsaw, Ghostface, Chucky, Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Leatherface, and Billy from Black Christmas, the horror genre belonged to Norman Bates.
@egb500001:15 I was today years old when I realized he’s screaming “I am Norma Bates.”
@walterheisenberg251I had a recurring nightmare for years where I would be in a room and I would hear someone's footsteps running from another room coming closer and I knew it was someone coming to hurt me. And I am SURE it is because my dad showed me Psycho as a child (for some reason) and this scene stayed in my head 🤣
