I saw it in the drive-in with my oldest brother and his girlfriend. I was about 8. Scary.

Drive in during that time would be quite amazing

some years back. Awesome.

Watched Vera Miles enter the basement through tiny gaps between the fingers covering my eyes.

It's a wonder she didn't go into labor!

about the shower scene called 78/52. It was 78 seconds long and had 58 different shots.

Not one of those 58 shots showed a knife piercing flesh, but the overall effect was unforgettable.

The Shining (the film) is great too.

was scheduled to show it on Sep. 66 but a few days before, the still unsolved murder of Senator Percy's daughter happened so CBS pulled it. Many of the CBS affiliates complained after the murder and only a month before, Speck murdered the 8 student nurses so CBS was already a little squeamish about showing Psycho. They sold it to ABC. Psycho made its TV debut in June 67 on a Saturday late night, past 11:30 pm. The shower scene was still edited down to 3 stab swipes.

That's an interesting piece of history about the movie. I can see why at the time it was ultra violent for the 60's and coming off a mass murder? Wow thanks for sharing that bit of info
