The True Crime Behind Hitchcock’s Iconic “Psycho”

It features one of the most famous scenes in film history, which happens to take place in a shower. And according to the American Film Institute, it also ranks as the 14th greatest movie of all time.

We are of course talking about Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 classic horror film “Psycho,” starring Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, and Vera Miles.

But what some may not realize is that the true crime story that inspired Hitchcock’s classic is every bit as infamous and horrific as the movie itself. 

In this fascinating episode we not only discuss behind-the scenes stories and analysis of the iconic “Psycho,” but also share the story of serial killer Ed Gein and his shocking crimes.
