BLOOD, BOOBS AND CARNAGE BLOGFEST: MAY 18. 2015

 BLOOD, BOOBS AND CARNAGE:
The above three catorgries
Can fit into one film I know.
 Of course it's Alfred Hitchcock's
PSYCHO.

Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh,

 Portrayed Norman Bates and Marion Crane.
They met when she became a guset
At "Bates Motel" was it's name.

Norman was a real weird character,
His eyes would give me the creeps.
He even talked to his "Dead Mother"
As he "Sat her by the window for weeks".

I can't recall if Marion was scared of him,
As I was quite young at the time.
But Norman had plans for Marion,
A horrible, horrible crime.
 As she was taking a shower,
In he crept  with a knife.
Marion, unaware it was near 
The end of her life.

As he stabbed her repeatedly,
Her screams  must have been heard.
Blood poured down the shower,
With the sounds of screeching music...how absurd?
I have watched that fim many times,
But that music and the screams,
Have always played havoc when I slept,
Thus disturbing my dreams.

  1. Visiting from the A/Z road trip; I don't think I made it to your blog during the challenge, but I'm checking out everyone's blogs that signed up for the road trip.

    I read your profile; how cool to be the first one to sign up for the first A/Z back in 2010!

    I never saw Psycho but I do remember visiting Universal Studios years ago and seeing some of the set there on the tour :)

  2. Thanks for the visit Betty, I signed yesterday for the Road Trip so will start in earnest during the week. Yes it was strange to be the first sign up on the first challenge and even nicer to have met Lee whilst visiting LA.

  10. One of the original classic terror slasher flicks. The cinematography was great. Black and white films forced cinematographer to be very creative using angles and shadows to their advantage.

  19. I liked Psycho and watched it several times... Now I'm watching the Bates Motel TV show which is a story of young Norman Bates and his mother, his journey to becoming the Norman Bates we've seen in Psycho... Very interesting.

  20. The first time I watched this as a teen it was shocking and creepy. I watched again about 20 years later and decided it was lame. But, its the first time that counts, right?

  22. Psycho is a great pick for the BB&C! I hadn't thought about this movie in years but now I want to watch it again. I'm pretty hooked on the A&E series Bates Motel. Do you watch it?? It's really good. Love your poem too!
    Stopping by from the BB&C blogfest, making my rounds. It's a little more leisurely pace than the A-Z craziness but it's nice to be able to visit ALL of the participants in this one.
    Psycho: Good pick for sure. A classic film. I'm a huge Hitchcock fan as well. Did you ever see the movie that came out a few years back about him and the making of Psycho? A fabulous film: you can't go wrong with Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. I have a nice box-set of Hitchcock films and I think since it's a rainy weekend, I just may pop in a few and kick back for a few days...
