Psycho, Mother and the Boy Next Door

E.L. King discusses director Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) with film critic and writer Justin Lockwood. You can find his bylines in Fangoria, Bloody Disgusting, Scream Magazine, and many other publications. When Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) on the run from the police checks into the ramshackle Bates Motel, she becomes an object of obsession for the motel's strange proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). We explore the film's themes and analysis, the origins of Norman Bates, the infamous shower scene, and gush about its stars.
