Taken down for a copyright violation?

"Peeping Tom" is very creepy, even today.

Shadow of a Doubt is one of my all-time favorites from Hitchcock, just the premise alone is truly terrifying even to this day.

"Peeping Tom" ROCKS too (for different reasons and--- for some of the same reasons). Looking back, you can still see how it probably was too much for a lot of viewers at the time..."Psycho" just made Hitchcock that much more of a legend, whereas "Peeping Tom" was pretty much a last call for director Michael Powell...

Oddly enough the shower scene was also used in 1965 movie 'I Saw What You Did' with John Ireland and Joan Crawford and Lief Erikson of High Chaparral fame!

You're right, Dasha, the musical score is incredible, one of the best ever written. It's almost like another character in the film, such a powerful presence. I hope you can react to more Hitchcock movies, they never disappoint. I'd especially recommend Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, or Shadow of a Doubt.

Great reaction, Dasha!
In 1960, Hollywood movies released in color were quite common by that time. Hitchcock purposely shot "Psycho" in black and white because he didn't want the shower scene to appear too graphic. And they actually used chocolate syrup for the blood so it would stand out more in the lack of color.
This was considered the movie that launched the slasher/horror genre. Though some say the British horror film "Peeping Tom" was the first slasher, also released in 1960.

Think you'll ever revisit the Apes series? It only gets better. Next up is Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

I must admit I don't know as much Hitchcock as I should, but if you liked this, I recommend "North by Northwest", I'd love to see your reaction to that.

I think this is classified as a thriller -- Hitchcock's specialty -- not horror. Janet Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother, who inherited a great deal of her looks. Janet Leigh's husband -- and Jamie Lee's father -- was Tony Curtis, a big movie star of his own and very handsome.
Oh, and $40,000 in 1960 is $400,000 today!
