Vacancy at the Bates Motel
|
Vacancy at the Bates Motel With Halloween a couple days away, the television is in full swing with classics like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street. But with each October I’m drawn into another classic, and in my opinion, the scariest movie of all time. Psycho. I first saw Psycho in the early 80’s. It was different than anything I had ever seen at the time, as the decade was the start of the ‘thrasher’ area with more detailed violence among leading stars in horror films. Alford Hitchcock mastered and directed this story that changed the culture of horror movies, as well as the eyes of the viewer. So often when we think about horror movies we associate it with different ideals. Most of us think deformed man, with his face covered, yielding an axe or machete. Hitchcock viewed it much differently, associating horror with clean cut, and the all American look. He was brilliant in his work, and what made this low budget film such a success with viewers, was his ability to relate to the general public. It wasn’t blood, guts and gore, but the ability to get inside the minds of people through their imagination. Hitchcock used theatrical music, vivid and partial scenes, to ignite the thinking power of his audience. An example of that is illustrated in the infamous ‘shower scene’ with Marion Crane. It wasn’t the stabbing we remember or the terrifying feeling when the curtain was ripped open, but the chilling scene of Marion’s’ blood mixed in with the running water flowing down the drain that grips us. It’s the view afterwards of her lifeless body slumped over, against the shower wall, sliding into the tub with a cold look of despair on her face. Hitchcock was brilliant, and so was Psycho. Freddie, Michael Myers, and Jason, were all just characters. They’re not real. Watching them be burned to death, shot, blown up, and killed in each film, only to come back again in yet another sequel, is ridiculous and juvenile. But, Norman Bates was real though. Hitchcock displayed him as that, and that’s the biggest impact of all. Norman is portrayed as your neighbor. A common joe. That’s the real significance of this film. The reality of. Norman Bates was real life. He was true predator. He was indeed a serial killer, displaying similar psychopathic characteristics of killers that trouble our community even today. When you turned the TV off after watching Psycho the memories, screams, and images, are tattooed not only in your brain, but on the backs of your eye lids. For years after, something as simple as showering became a horrifying experience for some. And, we’ve all stop and thought for a moment after we’ve checked into that motel, scanning the walls for miniature holes. That’s a horror film. Something that’s so real it affects us in everyday life. Relate. There’s that word again.  Shared wife -evergreenstatewife |

That movie is a classic for that very reason...it was rooted in reality. The sequels that followed updating the story or continuing the story line were all horrible. You just can't perfect something that's already perfect. Thanks!  If you're really bored, feel free to visit my blog [blog ricks9incher] I guarantee you'll still be bored.
