Joel, this is a very informative post...and the Psycho house looks even creepier during the daylight.

This is a very interesting quote:
"There was, however, one particular visitor who remained lodged in her memory for the rest of her life. That encounter occurred one day when she was 13 years old and happened to be alone in her room. Looking out the window, she caught sight of a man across the tracks, seated at his portable easel, creating an American icon, one brushstroke at a time."
...I wonder whom the artist at the easel was?

By the way, I met (Well, not directly, a lady (a fellow blogger) whom claim to be Alfred Hitchcock's great great niece.
I wonder if that is true?

Thanks, for sharing the links too!

Hi! Joel,

Joel said,"Clatworthy was an especially inspired choice, as he had worked on the similarly seedy-gothic Orson Welles masterpiece Touch of Evil just two years prior. (If you’re looking for a fun double feature, watch these two movies back-to-back and count the similarities.) As Hitchcock told Truffaut,"...

Hmmm...So the plot thicken(s) (I have to go back and reread that chapter...because I own the book that you are referring to...)

...There maybe no connection here...but, I just like author Eddie Muller,(Dark City:The Lost World of Film Noir) reached the conclusuion that Hitchcock's "Psycho" was the film that assisted in ushering the transitional phase of film noir to neo-noir.(Even though some fans of film noir point in the direction of Welles' film as the final "film noir"...)

I think every small town in america must have at least one Gingerbread Gothic that locals dub "The Psycho House." Most of these places have been reahbbed or torn down now. The vacant vertical eye of the front door glass no longer haunts or landscape in the same way. Stupid Urban Renewal.

Interesting info on the housing front. the 50th anniversary and a re-release this year of the film ... I shall catch it at the cinema!

My Coen brothers phase continues and Hitchcock is an amazingly huge influence on them. From the murders gone wrong to some of the shots. Its wonderful!
