Cinematic history.Alfred Hitchcock was the hottest property in tinsel town after having consistently stormed the box-office with big budget hit after hit. That was until the late fifties when he committed to make the world's greatest psychological horror movie, a 'chiller'. No elaborate sets, no large production, no Technicolor and with just a TV show crew. What they made would not only be one of the 'master of suspense's' greatest movies but it would change cinematic history forever. This book charts the history of these dynamic movies starting with the real life grisly crimes that inspired the book by Robert Bloch. We will then look at the original movie, explore the sequels and how Norman Bates has returned for the 21st Century.
