@MrS98VAC Definately. Whenever the movie Psycho comes up in conversation, people always talk about the shower scene. To me, Aborgast's death was always way scarier. I don't know why.
This is back when horror movies were worth watching. All of these movies like Saw, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on whatever street it is, just ruined the genre. War, action and comedy movies are still my favorite :)
This scene SUCKS in the 1998 version, and with the effects they are just trying to recreate EXACTLY what happened in the original. They do that through the whole movie and this one stays superior.
I've always thought this scene was more frightening than the famous shower scene. After seeing it on TV as a kid, I was afraid to go upstairs to bed at night for weeks!
@hallieboy Ditto, though maybe the shower scene didn't scare me as much because, well, everyone who hasn't seen the movie at least knows the shower scene already.
P.S, because it needs to be said one more time: Psycho is the greatest horror movie ever made.
i think there is a mistake in this scene, because arbogast walks into the house and goes upstairs while bates should actually make the bed in one of the rooms of the motel (you can see that while atbogast comes back to the hotel) so bates can't killed him
We watched this in film class today and this part scared all of us. After this scene ended we all looked at each other with looks that said "Omg that actually freaked the hell out of me."
I always thought this scene had much more of an impact than the shower scene. To me this murder is the more shocking one, people mostly think of the shower scene being the most frightening but I think this and the end when Norman comes running in the fruit cellar (with that psycho grin) is more scary.
@MissJamin2 You're a moron. The horror movies over yesteryear were about actually scaring people. The movies that pass for horror these days are about grossing people out.
Man idk why, but everytime I watch this movie, this scene always scares the hell out of me haha, but this movie is a masterpiece, if not, one of the greatest movies ever made...and I'm 18 haha, and I love Alfred Hitchcock's films :D
@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6@ellbo2 i watched it all the way through the only scary bit is the end where the woman is in the house and norman goes running in have you seen psycho 2 and 3 there more scary than this i think

scary sequence, even after 50 years. Classic movie. the sequels which followed were also good, if not great, as they continued the story of Norman Bates, and provide a satisfying conclusion. i read that the shot-for-shot remake stinks.
This scene made me jump.

Did you know that Hitchcock did not want music for the shower scene (im unsure if it was for the whole movie) but Bernard Herrmann begged him after.

@Gencturk92 Yes, I've heard that. Thank goodness Hermann won out, because it just wouldn't be the same without that now iconic theme!

@1985browneyedgirl the part that always got me suspenseful was where the sheriff tells the two people,
"well if that woman up there is Miss.Bates, then who's that woman buried in the cemetery for ten years"

The shower scene freaked me out, but didn't scare me because everybody knows what happens there. (God knows it's been parodied enough times.)
But when I saw this part, as soon as the music started, I almost jumped out of my seat. Even though you see the door opening, you still get scared.
