Today is @inmydefenestration ‘s birthday and, given the day I always joke that I’m going to stab her. I sent her the gif of the shower scene from Psycho and this was the exchange.

So congratulations to me for finally murdering my friend on her birthday.

friday the 13th is a watershed moment not only in horror, but american and budget cinema more generally. as a transitional fossil of the late 70’s/early 80’s it is in direct conversation with the texas chainsaw massacre and psycho in manner and method, subject and style, unselfconsciously replicating the sensations and shockwaves those films expressed for the early 70’s and 60’s.

do it cheaper, do it dirtier.

the film borrows quite explicitly from both alfred hitchcock and porno flicks to make explicit a psychosexual predatory framework the former only implies: an obsessive, deliberate hunt and stalker mindset rendered through a disarmingly shakey and handheld camera. it being eclipsed by its monster movie sequels in the popular consciousness has rendered the subtleties of its filmmaking to a state of undeath where it exists divorced of its time and place to be the foundation of an established franchise, where the twist might not even be a twist cause you’re looking back on a past from which you’ve been starkly and irrevocably severed

Norman Bates is one example of negative typecasting. I loved Anthony Perkins in the role, but I wish he had become another Jimmy Stewart in his own right. Perhaps Hollywood blacklisted him for being queer, despite being closeted.


On the other hand, as much as “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” grossed me out, the scenes depicting Anthony Perkins’ relationship with Tab Hunter piqued my interest. Just as there was a movie where Anthony Hopkins played Hitchcock during the making of “Psycho”, I am certainly willing to pay money to watch movies about Anthony Perkins as well as Montgomery Clift, Sal Mineo and Rock Hudson, among others.

Anyone else deal with PMDD so 50% of the month you have a secure attachment style and then the 50% (your PMS window) you are dismissive-avoidant? It’s very tragic being a lover girl who’s disgusted by men. I genuinely feel crazy sometimes lol

Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)

Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh in Psycho 

Cast: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Janet Leigh, Martin Balsam, John McIntire, Simon Oakland, Frank Albertson, Patricia Hitchcock, Vaughn Tyler, Lurene Tuttle, John Anderson, Mort Mills. Screenplay: Joseph Stefano, based on a novel by Robert Bloch. Cinematography: John L. Russell. Art direction: Robert Clatworthy, Joseph Hurley. Film editing: George Tomasini. Music: Bernard Herrmann.

I think the most Hitchcockian moment in Psycho is the scene in which Norman disposes of the evidence by sinking Marion Crane’s Ford in the swamp with her body and the slightly less than $40,000 she stole in its trunk. We watch as the car slowly settles into the murk with a comically disgusting blurping sound. And then it stops, and we watch Norman’s face as he anxiously bites his lip. But just as he is starting out to see if he can help sink it farther, the blurping noise returns and the car sinks to the depths. Who doesn’t feel Norman’s anxiety and relief in that scene, even though he’s a psychotic murderer? This trick of alienating viewers from their own moral values is essential to the greatness of Alfred Hitchcock. On the other hand, I used to think that the least Hitchcockian moment in the film was the psychiatrist’s long-winded explanation of Norman’s dual-personality disorder, which tells us nothing that we don’t already know. But now I think it’s a bit of masterstroke. Simon Oakland’s performance as the psychiatrist is so florid and self-satisfied that it reveals the character as a pompous showboater, which only heightens the cool, ironic smugness of Norman/Mother in the film’s chilling final moment. He/she wouldn’t hurt a fly, indeed. What is there to say about Psycho otherwise? That Anthony Perkins is nothing short of brilliant as Norman? Of course. That Janet Leigh’s Marion is so well-crafted that we wish she’d been given roles this good throughout her career as a mostly decorative actress? Yes. That Bernard Herrmann deserved all the Oscars he never got for his work on Hitchcock’s films? His score for Psycho, for which Hitchcock rewarded Herrmann with a screen credit just before his own as director, didn’t even get a nomination – but then, neither did his scores for The Trouble With Harry (1955), The Wrong Man (1956), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Marnie (1964). For that matter, Psycho didn’t receive a nomination for George Tomasini’s film editing, despite the shower scene, a literal textbook example of the art. (That the scene had been storyboarded – perhaps with the aid of graphic designer Saul Bass, who later even claimed that he had directed it – doesn’t deny the fact that someone, namely Tomasini, had to lay hands on the actual film.) Yet Psycho remains one of the inexhaustible movies, those in which you see something new and different at each viewing, even if it’s only to add to your stock of trivia. The last time, for example, I was struck by the fact that one of the cops guarding Norman at the end looked vaguely familiar. I checked, and he was played by Ted Knight – The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s Ted Baxter. How can you not love a film that provides revelations like that?
