In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock released Psycho, a bold new sort of horror film that shocked audience's with it's sequences of murder and depravity, including a shower stabbing sequence that is firmly in the canon of iconic film moments. But where did this cinematic burst of bloodlust come from? In part 1 of our debut episode of Years of Fear, we explore the evolution of the first 60+ years of onscreen violence and death that lead up to Janet Leigh's iconic death sequence. We also explore the film's director, his early career, and the artistic dead end that made Psycho possible.
Join us for the beginning of our journey of the first four years of 1960s Horror Cinema.
