Alfred Hitchcock bought the rights to the novel Psycho anonymously from Bloch for just $9,000. He then bought up as many copies of the novel as he could to keep the ending a secret.
The film only cost $800,000 to make yet has earned more than $40 million. Hitchcock used the crew from his TV series to save time and money.
The actual house used for the design construction of the house used in Psycho still stands in Kent, Ohio.
The shower scene has over 90 splices in it, and did not involve Anthony Perkins at all. Perkins was in New York preparing for a play.
Contrary to popular rumours, during the shooting of the shower scene, Hitchcock did not arrange for the water to suddenly go ice-cold when the attack started.
The sound that the knife makes penetrating the flesh is actually the sound of a knife stabbing a casaba melon.
The blood in the shower scene is actually chocolate sauce. Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Pingo
