Psycho (1960) KILL COUNT

I wonder if Anthony was basically turned gay because of his actual mother who... well, let's just say Psycho IV: The Beginning isn't too far off from poor Tony's own origins

That's probably not how it works

Bro how does this not have more views? This is arguably the biggest horror movie ever

I wish movie trailers nowadays were more like Psycho’s.

We don’t need [“FROM ONE DIRECTOR AND FIVE ACTORS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF BUT WE’RE GONNA MAKE A REAL BIG DEAL OVER” > “THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF THE SUMMER” > quirky line from movie > dramatic music sting over title card].

We need [“Sup it’s me John Director directing another movie. This movie’s real good trust me bro. The mc dies abt here iirc. Go see the movie ok byeeeeee”]

OHH, FUCKING GOD DAMNIT!😭😭😭THAT MEANS I WAS WRONG!

When my Freshman Year class watched this movie, and heard that line (this was in 2019), they literally had to pause the movie for 5 minutes STRAIGHT because everyone was laughing so fucking loudly that no one could hear the movie!🤭Ahhh, those were the good ol’ days….

This Kill Count has released 3 years after I graduated high school. I remember in Freshman Year, one class I was in had us watch this movie, and I counted it up to only 3 deaths. At long last, we’re going to see if I was right!
(If you’re wondering why I’m commenting this on 6/18/26 instead of 4/3/26—when it released—it’s because I’ve been HORRENDOUSLY busy, and haven’t had time to watch this series!)

25:24 probably the most obvious Golden Chainsaw in Kill Count history

just watched it for the first time. Plot twist at the end, gas top 5 oat lead actor, great (rip) and great side characters. I just felt like the music was too much. No blood in the shower, basically. I say it is a 3-star, 3.5 at best. Edit after watching this vid: I changed 4 stars easily.

Took him this long enough to make a kill count of Psycho but although it only has like 2 (or 3 of Pamela is counted) deaths, well James did a kill count of Jaws 4: The Revenge and it only has 2 kills so I guess

The holy grail of kills

This is the first time I've ever even heard of this movie.

thank you for covering the classics, and especially this one that influenced subsequent horror films and the larger pop culture.

I had no idea Anthony Perkins was gay. Interesting. It's sad he had to hide it all his life.
I want to read the psycho book now.

Shout out to the Minnesota ICE references ❤

Bates Motel (AE) was so good.

This year will have a Friday the December 11th

Master Bates tells Momma Bates??? Woah that's a cheeky one

15:20 The trailer wasn't a "video". It was shot on film.

14:41. And that's where the expression "This is where I came in." comes from.

I had no idea Psycho had sequels until now! And thanks to you, ive purchased all 4 films! Love ya James!!

Very Amazing Film And Have A Wonderful Day And You Are All Amazing 😊:3 ^_^ 💖💖💗💗

My film and literature class in school talked about Psycho and we did a reading of the script I got to read for Norman (I was also the only freshman in that class)

This is probably the weirdest butterfly effect but I swear I saw a psycho kill count years ago I actually remember certain parts of the script and was surprised when this video can out because I was certain I’d already seen it. I am genuinely confused.

WT actual F YouTube? Why are you hiding my favourite channel from me? Just realised I've missed 3 months of uploads.

25:27: Adrienne from Jason X will remember that.

Technically four people were killed in psycho, two off-screen and five people died in the film due to his father’s death, again off-screen.

The Batesment 😊

9:00 - Yes he does❤ he’s honestly so cute when he’s talking to her. They’ve got cute chemistry.

Wasn't there a remake starring Vince Vaughn?

13:40 Doesn’t anyone knock anymore?

House 1960 Nyc 1998

I watched this movie for the first time in high school. Of course, I knew the twist of Norman being the killer, but somehow, and I have no idea how, I had no clue that Mother was DEAD. It wasn't something I had even considered for some reason, and with the benefit of hindsight, I've no idea how I hadn't pieced it together. When Mother's corpse is revealed at the end I legitimately JUMPED in fright. It was so awesome being genuinely surprised and spooked by a film over 55 years old.

Just watched psycho rn and it was meh n boring but now listening to James explain it further makes me think about it so much better ❤

The laugh after the ANL joke is why we love you James!

We all go a little mad sometimes

i love you but did you have to post this AFTER my psycho socratic seminar and project

Liked it just cause you put on a dress to get the bag

the kandy Korn bit was hilarious

I Think the shower kill is one of the times where I wish you had a Diamond Chainsaw medal cause that is one of the scenes that are so iconic in film stuff that it deserves such a rare thing

Anthony Perkins was an extremely talented and Handsome young actor Shame he died so young. He was one of the most if only openly bisexual men actor in the 1960s. I can only imagine how coming out as bisexual was treated and looked at in the 60s compared to now a days. Freddie Highmores performance as Norman Bates in the AE TV original I do believe Would make Anthony Perkins Proud.

6:40 I mean it kind of helps that she didn’t try to HIT the cop with her car, 2026 or not, when has that ever worked out well for anybody?😂
