Good morning! 😊I hope you're all ready for some Alfred Hitchcock! Now that we've seen Rear Window and Psycho I can say I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock's movies!! I love his style of storytelling so so so much. Everything he does is very creative and well thought out. His movies feel like such a brilliant portrayal of the human experience, and I can't wait to watch more from him! YouTube: https://youtu.be/iox3Bx4rX8o

thanks for doing this! the author of the novel (Robert Bloch) is one of my favorite authors. when he was a teenager he struck up a snail-mail correspondence with H.P. Lovecraft, and both of them ended up writing short stories where they killed each other off. Lovecraft ended up profoundly influencing both the science-fiction and horror genres, and Bloch's output included writing for old radio shows and tv, including Twilight Zone and some of the original Star Trek episodes.

I never thought I'd see it, but you young people are getting old. You're watching things from when I was a kid, or not even being born, and you're having a great time. HOORAY for the Maplenuts!

Hitchcock chose black-and-white because he thought showing red blood would be too shocking. He also chose to make it low-budget, using his TV film crew (He had an anthology series called Alfred Hitchcock Presents). Hammer Films in England had released Dracula in 1958 with liberal use of red throughout, and it WAS shocking to audiences at that time. Western cities did not have tall buildings because there was plenty of land to grow horizontally. Building up was, and remains, much more expensive.

Here's something that will freak you out. The voice of Norman Bates's mother is done by the actual actor that plays Norman, Tony Perkins.

Vertigo would be my next Hitchcock recommendation. To Catch a Thief is great too. A great Hitchcock-style movie is What Lies Beneath (2000) starring Harrison Ford.

Nathan Jasper

little triva, Janet Leigh who played Marion is Jamie Lee Curtis's mom. Jamie Lee would become her generation's scream queen with Prom Night, Halloween, The Fog, and so many others

I've seen this movie so many times and I've only just had the thought that Anthony Perkins looks exactly like Andrew Garfield! I can't be the only one, right? Also, you should really watch a movie called Long Legs. It's directed by Osgood Perkins (Anthony Perkins' son) and Nicolas Cage is in it—so you could kinda kill a couple of birds with one stone. Also also... you should listen to Elvis Perkins in Dearland (Anthony Perkins' other son), it's a great album. Doomsday is one of my favorite songs, ever.

It is generally rare to find someone that reacts to this film that, at the very least, doesn’t know the shower scene. It was quite obvious that neither of you knew what was going to happen. Even the name Norman Bates didn’t cause a reaction. This definitely made watching you both respond and react all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend you both watch Hitchcock’s film The Birds. It’s one of his best, at least in my opinion.

N.T. Stars

I watched this one for the first time a few years back, and I was struck by how much Anthony Perkins stands out. All of the other actors in this feel like “yeah, they’re an actor of their time.” Perkins does not. He just straight up feels like a modern-day 2020s actor in a 1960s movie.

Im curious. How much of the plot were you familar with beforehand? Hearing someone call Norman Bates "cute" was a surreal experience. In my experience his name is a staple character in popculture. Often used alongside Bundy and Manson, even though he is fictional. The fact you were suprised by the shower scene, was a wonderful suprise for me :D

Helly R

There's a whole new generation watching this without any cultural context, which is interesting and just means we're getting old ;) Before I saw this in the 1990s the shower scene was one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. I would have thought it would have been impossible to not know before seeing it. Not so much anymore based on a bunch of reactors who've watched it.

Adrian Sørlie

Makes sense :D Reactions are a wonderful form of entertainment, giving new joy to already watched movies. Iv been told by parents that one of the greatest joys of watching movies with their kids, is watching them react to things the parents already know. I think we experience a small piece of this when we watch these reactions, which is why its so popular :)

Mr. Writhms

Psycho II (1983) is way better than anyone expected. It's not Hitchcock but it's very well done and worth a watch. Please check it out!

Joe Lazarus

You guys should definitely consider reacting to The Twilight Zone series if you like the old school suspenseful films or Hitchcock...not just because they’re both black-and-white classics from the same era, but because they share a deep affinity for psychological suspense, shocking twists, and the terror lurking in ordinary minds and settings. Also, if you also want to continue Norman Bates' journey...you should react to Psycho 2!!!

Jon Johns

These maple nuts also saw Jamie Lee in True Lies and Trading Places! Jamie Lee Curtis has a great career, scream queen, sex symbol, comedianne, drama, momma, action star... There a recent interview with her & Mariska Hargitay! (Mariska is famous for Law & Order SVU, and lesser known as the daughter of Sex Kitten Jayne Mansfield!!!)

Jon Johns

I second! Some of the best writing of all time + young stars first steps into acting. It has inspired so much tv & cinema, even being parodied by the Simpsons! Rod Serlings story is so interesting, too.

Jon Johns

$420,000 in USD around $624,000 in Canadian dollars!!! (Adjustments vary 🤷‍♂️)

So, in 1960, a lot of movie theaters were very 'open-door', where customers would just walk in to the theater mid-showing (with a ticket, of course). There was just no thought to sitting down before it started, and watching the whole thing, at least for some folks. For the 1960 release of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, the director instituted a strict "no late admission" policy to ensure the shocking twists—particularly the sudden death of the main character in the first act—remained a surprise. This rule revolutionized theatergoing, changing the standard from audiences wandering in mid-film to the structured showtimes we follow today.

Sam

I agree

Jon Johns

One of my favorite little background actor parts is in this film. At the end, there is a guard outside Normans cell. The actor is Ted Knight, who's career was varied, he's most famous for his comedic roles, first in the Mary Tyler Moore show, as the dim witted TV new anchor, then later, as Judge Smails in Caddyshack 😂. He did some other TV shows and films, but those two roles are so well known, and here he is as a background actor!

Jon Johns

One of my favorite hitcock films is lesser known, and much less popular. "The Trouble with Harry" is a macabre comedy, and has a great cast. Shirley MacLaine makes her debut in this film. It's about a tiny New England town, and the few residents who, one by one, discover a dead body in the woods. 😂 They each think they are responsible for his death. (A hunter, for example, shoots at a rabbit, discovers the body, and believes he accidentally killed the man). It's farcical, clever, and loaded with dry wit. I love it, but, again, it's not very popular. There's no suspense, gore, or thrill, really, it's just a comedy, and it's funny. For the time (1955), a dead body = "Macabre", but today, it just illicits a 🤷‍♂️ and maybe a little interest. Today's audience sees much more graphic depictions of death, and more realistic, gruesome dead bodies. This has none of that. But in a time when you couldn't show a toilet being flushed in a film... A comedy surrounding a dead body was pretty... Macabre. 😂

Cliff Adams

Yes. And Janet Leigh was a huge movie star when this was released. Having the main character begin having a nooner, then stealing the money... we have little sypathy for her until the CHP officer gets his sunglassed closeup. Then we conspire with her. Once she shows she wants to return the money, we love her. Then she dies, leaving us without anyone to care about. We tend to latch onto Norman. Whoops!

Ari

Such an outstanding performance by Anthony Perkins. He did an amazing job at conveying Norman Bates' awkward and nervous personality with his facial expressions, the subtle inflections in his voice tone, and his intermittent stumbling, stammering, and pausing speech. Bravo!

Alpa Chino

As soon as I saw this reaction posted on YouTube today, I immediately signed up for your Patreon! Just finished watching the this full reaction and wasn’t disappointed! You two are great! Give a raise for whoever voted for this movie : )

Alpa Chino

I agree. These are the type of reactions I look for. When a great film hasn’t been spoiled for reactors, and having reactors who pay attention to details and let themselves get immersed in the world of the film.

James M

Hitchcock could not make a bad movie. They can be more great and less great. He was a genius.

MaplenutsReact

So far I'd have to agree! I'm dying to see more of his movies now.

MaplenutsReact

Hahaha how could we not! These classics are some of the best movies I've ever seen!!

MaplenutsReact

Aww, thank you so much for watching with us! And welcome to the community 😀❤️❤️❤️

Jon Johns

Welcome Al! (Pa) 😂

MaplenutsReact

We both knew absolutely nothing, other than the fact that it was famous haha. Now that I've seen it, I'm sooooo happy it was never spoiled for me!

Jon Johns

Bates Motel (2013) is a drama/horror TV series (5 seasons!) that portrays a young norman & his mother. Basically, the origin story! 93% on rotten tomatoes, 8.1 on imdb. It's not the greatest? But it's a fun watch! 🥰

Prof Moff

In DEFENSE of Norman. Who did he kill... I mean a thief... deserved it. A PI that entered his home without even knocking, that is breaking and entering and you are allowed to defend your home!!!! ok the two missing girls, I mean they probably kicked dogs or something. Oh his mom and her lover. Okay that might have gone a bit far.... Seriously though this is one of my fav movies ever. I actually just finished another re-watch of Bates Motel TV series and I decided I had to watch your reaction and Prime had a special on buying it so there you go. Great reaction, loved it so much.
