Horror Movie Classics: “Psycho” (1960), October 26th

A Phoenix secretary steals $40,000 from her employer’s client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother. Infamous for its shower scene, but immortal for its contribution to the horror genre. Because “Psycho” was filmed with tact, grace, and art, Hitchcock didn’t just create modern horror, he validated it. Rated R. Dover Public Library.
