See Psycho on the Big Screen: February 13

Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 2 pm & 8 pm only

The master of suspense moves his cameras into the icy blackness of the unexplored! Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO from 1960 Universal.

Alfred Hitchcock used his television crew, shot in black and white on a tight schedule and produced one of the most terrifying films in Hollywood history. Anthony Perkins defined the loony Norman Bates whose devotion to his dead mother has murderous intent. Janet Leigh and a photo double endured hundreds of camera setups to produce the shower scene that is still taught in editing master classes.

The murderous set pieces are so well done that audiences still jump with fright even when they know what is coming. Robert Bloch penned the original novel and Bernard Herrmann’s score adds punch at just the right moments.
As always a cartoon, this time it's Hyde and Go Tweet(WB 1960) starring Tweety bird andSylvester.
