'Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.'

When it comes to horror movie character deaths, the shower scene from 1960's Psycho remains one of the most iconic scenes ever. The amount of cuts, the usage of point of view, the music and sound. It was also something that at the time, had never been seen before. It broke all the rules of cinema at the time. Although spoilers today would most likely ruin in, never was the female lead so brutally murdered so early into a film which caused shock and surprise from audience members.
Although brutal shower deaths are not a staple of FH, hot men in the shower certainly are. Check out my Ode to the Psycho shower scene, FH style of course, on PAGE 2 HERE:
