I get it, Janet, I do.

I’ll be straight-up: I’ve never seen all of Psycho .The iconic moment involved Janet Leigh’s character, Marion Crane, being stabbed at the hands of Anthony Perkins’ character, creepy hotel owner Norman Bates.The fact that I, a complete horror newbie, am familiar with the cinematic breakthrough of a scene is a testament to how powerful Alfred Hitchcock’s creation was; and it seems that that power was strong enough to affect the actors, too.

And she wasn’t keen on closing her shower curtain after filming Psycho, either. “I also leave the bathroom door open and shower curtain open. I’m always facing the door, watching, no matter where the shower head is,” she shared.As if the post-shower-scene terrors weren’t enough, it seems that real-life threats started to enter Leigh’s life, too.

“I don’t get as many now as I did in the beginning, but I have to say, it was pretty serious. The FBI had to come in. Luckily nothing ever happened,” she added. Teirrfying.One of the best-known parts of the shower scene involves a shot of Leigh’s unblinking eye, eerily vacant after her character’s death.

There was a theory that this remarkably unmoving image was made using a still photo sprinkled with water ― but Leigh debunked that myth in hertrue,” she said. “About three weeks before we shot it, Mr. Hitchcock and I went off to the optometrists. He wanted me to put in those lenses that would give me a scary look. At the time — remember, we’re talking late 1959/early 1960 — for me to wear those lenses would’ve taken six weeks for my eyes to get used to them.
