Random facts about the movie Psycho

I just saw a brief ad for the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie Psycho on TCM. They shared a lot of random facts in about five seconds. Here are a few of the ones that I can remember:

  • The classic shower scene only lasts about 40 seconds. However, they had to do 70 separate shots to get it & it took a week to film.
  • It's black & white because Hitchcock thought it would be too gory in color.
  • They used chocolate syrup to simulate blood.
