When I was a kid my parents took me to Universal Studios in Florida. It had an Alfred Hitchcock exhibit. I fell in love. For a few years Nick at Night showed Alfred Hitchcock Presents reruns, and I watched it all the time.
Today marks the 50th year since Psycho was released. It’s not my favorite Hitchcock film, but it’s a close third behind North by Northwest and Vertigo.
However, from a pure nostalgia standpoint, it’s my favorite. When I was a kid I had a shirt that said Psycho. I bought a Bates Motel washcloth and beach towel. I visited Universal Studios in Hollywood and saw the House (which was right next to the set of How the Grinch Stole Christmas).
The one thing about Psycho I regret is that like many people, I knew the twist before I saw the movie. But it hasn’t stopped me from watching whenever it’s on!
