1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?

Film class as an undergrad. Definitely VHS but in an auditorium classroom.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
We'd been told it was "the most influential american film of all time" and of course I'd heard of the shower scene and knew the ending.


3 - How was the viewing experience?
Awesome. We were riveted. And that wasn't the case for most of the 'really important' older films (I remember someone in front of me snoring loudly through citizen kane. But Psycho had everyone on the edge of their seat because other than the shower scene and the end none of us knew what else was going to happen.


4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
at least 100

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Not really. I've introduced some of my friends to it and find that if they watch through the first 10 minutes or so they get hooked. but if they keep getting up for beer or whatever during the first part then I know it just isn't going to gel with them
