'We all go a little mad sometimes...'
Long before Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers were born. Long before Ghostface, Chucky, Leatherface or Freddy Krueger were accumulating a body count, Norman Bates was murdering anyone who came before he and his mother. Although I'd known of Alfred Hitchcock, I really didn't get deep into his movies until TCM. I think I remember 1960's Psycho on television as a kid, and remember watching up until the shower scene.
I think Rear Window and The Trouble With Harry remain my favorite films from Hitchcock but I also love Psycho. Every time it, and other favorite Hitchcock films air on TCM, I program them to record, even if I don't end up watching. My only issue with the film is my brain, and how it works. Despite majoring in Psychology in University, I still frustratingly second guess the spelling of most psy words.
Sometime between that first watch on television as a kid, and watch a few years ago, I finally figured out Anthony Perkins was incredibly hot. Reading about his life only made him that much more interesting. I did a previous piece on Anthony which includes caps from La décade prodigieuse. I believe the 1971 film featured Perkins only butt baring scene on film. (HERE:)
