A video of the shower scene would be useful for various reasons, but is it in the public domain and can it be shown? Klee Bakudan (talk) 23:10, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made changes to the genre lead in the article and categories. Basically, I have removed any genre that is not mentioned in the prose anywhere per WP:STICKTOSOURCE and WP:OR and WP:SUBJECTIVE. I'd be happy to discuss things, but we want only a primary genre in the lead, not two or three mixed together sub-genres. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In 2005, Total Film magazine ranked Psycho as the 6th-greatest horror film of all time.[207] In 2010, The Guardian newspaper ranked it as "the best horror film of all time".[208] Director Martin Scorsese included Psycho in his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time.[209] The film was named as the third best horror movie of all time in a readers' poll by Rolling Stone magazine in 2014.[210] [...] In 2021, the film was ranked at No. 5 by Time Out on their list of "The 100 best horror movies".[213]
Infamous for its shower scene, but immortal for its contribution to the horror genre. Because Psycho was filmed with tact, grace, and art, Hitchcock didn't just create modern horror, he validated it.
The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lightoil (talk) 06:48, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Psycho (1960 film) → Psycho – As one of the most influential films of all time, this is clearly the primary topic of the term "Psycho", both in terms of long-term significance and pageviews. It is also worth noting that while the informal term "psycho" can mean either psychopathorpsychotic, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Legacy section of the article lists a number of films that reference it. If a suitable reference can be found it might be appropriate to mention the novel Dark in Death, as the story starts with a woman being murdered in a movie theater during the shower scene.
