@Pearlee, it was undeniably clever, and eerie and unsettling because of the way it broke the conventions of horror, as you point out...
Putting this in spoiler bar, just in case there's one person on the planet who doesn't know what happens!

I remember jumping out of my seat the first time I saw it, not knowing anything about it. Brilliant film as most of Hitchcock's are. They certainly have stood the test of time. Another brilliant film in the same genre is a French film Diabolique starring Simone Signoret, scared the heck out of me too.

@Pearlee Yes that movie scared the life out of me. Another one was Jaws. Not as much as Psycho....but a close second.

I was a teen when it first came out. The shower scene really freaked me (for years I would remember it as I was getting into a shower (especially if I was in a motel). They did the blood effect by using chocolate syrup.

When I read the title of this thread, I was hoping it was not a comment about my birthday 5 years ago.

Wow, just wow. My mom used to tell the story how she and Dad actually attended the movie on a date. Mom said she screamed like a banshee. LOL Just thinking about it.

Thanks for posting...
Saw it when I was seven years old as I went to the movies EVERY Saturday and I guess my parents didn't pay much attention to what was playing. I thought it was 2 different movies, not sure why. I have always loved scary movies and Hitchcock!
