Psycho / Hitchcock Tribute (Fright Bytes Ep. 24)
In the newest episode of Fright Bytes hosts Lianne Spiderbaby (Fangoria scribe) and Steve Mac (score composer on the upcoming Henry Rollins film, In The House Of Flies) share their love of Alfred Hitchcock with a tribute to Psycho and Dial M For Murder. The episode starts out with a humorous and clever introduction where Lianne and Steve encounter Norman Bates himself on their way to the infamous Bates Motel. What happens when they get there is absolutely ridiculous.

The episode also features a discussion on what makes Hitchcock’s suspense/horror films so terrifying, and the director’s ability to make the safest places (the shower) unsafe and threatening. It is a known fact that after shooting Psycho, Janet Leigh wasn’t able to take a shower for several months in fear of what lurks on the other side of the curtain.
This episode includes a close look at a few of the photos taken at the Dial M For Murder photo shoot with talented photographer Julia Busato, make-up artist Megan Haddad, and hair stylist Susan Rice. Go behind the scenes of Fright Bytes as Lianne interviews all three of these talented women.
