Psycho (1960) | Episode #65

from Such a Nightmare: Conversations about Horror Hosted by Such a Nightmare

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca discuss the 1960 Hitchcock film Psycho. Episode Highlights: We talk about how this film provides the origins for many different horror tropes and elements (such as the highway horror sub-genre), even if we are reluctant to call Psycho itself a horror film. We explore how, despite being literally black-and-white, the film is filled with all shades of gray...as we are reminded--through the film's exploration of themes such as voyeurism and progress--that life rarely fits into neat little boxes. And, of course, we have to spend a few minutes talking about the infamous shower scene! A Dose of Scholarship: We discuss Bernice M. Murphy's excellent analysis of Psycho in her book The Highway Horror Film. We also touch on the theory of non-place by Marc Augé. This podcast episode first aired on February 25, 2022. This episode was edited by the talented Jackson O'Brien (you rock!). Twitter/Instagram: @NightmarePod1; YouTube: Such a Nightmare channel; Email: [email protected]; ALL LINKS
