"He seems so sweet though" Yes, so sweet he wouldn't even harm a fly.

"he's so sweet", "he is so nice", "I like him"...funny how wrong we can be judging the 1st impressions of others.

A couple of B&W classics you might like "Casablanca and "to kill a mocking bird"both are simply wonderful

Hitchcock was a brilliant director.

I kind of like how you have some sympathy for his condition rather than only looking at him as a monster.

FYI $40,000 in 1960 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $370,689.19 today. Thanks google

It came out in 1960, audience’s had never seen anything like it. Scared the shit out of people

I really like that you pretty much figured it out, then discarded the theory. Then were surprised by the ending. Lots of old great movies to watch. Not just in Spooktober. :)

"You can't buy off unhappiness with pills." The hibernating addict in me begs to differ.

Two interesting things: 1) You are one of the FEW people who immediately noticed the strange fact that the main protagonist of the movie was killed and removed "half way" through the movie. This film is famous for that stunt, actually -- but few people seem to think about it. 2) You are the SECOND female reaction video I've seen where the reactor IMMEDIATELY says "She looks like her. Is it her sister?" I think that must be a female thing. As a male it simply never occurred to me. And since it's a movie, you don't usually think in those terms, because it's actors, not real people. But females, I guess, always notice that sort of thing, LOL. That's quite interesting to me. For the record, Janet Leigh and Vera Miles aren't related -- but these days, with DNA genealogies they might very well be third cousins or something. Vera Miles is still alive, at age 92.

I've become addicted to watching first-time reactions to "Psycho". It's fascinating to see the genuine shock at every plot twist.

"At least he can't see you in the shower so that's good."

Anthony Perkins did some very funny commercials where his mother was directing him what to say from off stage..."I TOLD them that, MOTHER"...

"Vertigo" and "Rear Window" are a couple more Alfred Hitchcock movies to see

I love how you ALMOST got it right about Norman being the killer then later you saw his "mom" kill the detective and you're like, "OK IT WASN'T HIM IT'S MOM!!!" Priceless analysis! lol.

This movie was partially based on a real murderer from the 1950s, a man named Ed Gein. His story is even more disturbing than the movie.

Kamilla: "I think this is my first black and white movie."

"He was pretending to be his own mother" - what a funny notion. How would you come up with stuff like that, young lady? 😄
