probably one of the most iconic scenes
in horror cinema history
Hitchcock’s our scene has been studied
dissected and recreated for decades the
murder of Marion crane has remained
controversial maybe for all the wrong
reasons
audiences at the time were shocked and
appalled for the daring amount of nudity
and violence depicted in the notorious
sequence it is only upon closer
inspection that we realized it was only
through careful editing that Hitchcock
succeeded in tricking us into thinking
we saw any explicit violence or nudity

then pulled it out and then in the film
they reversed it showing it going in
number 5 marries rape The Last House on
the Left
Hayashi when going for a movie so
notoriously shocking and gruesome that

it nauseatingly gritty and realistic the
controversy hit the screen early on in
the movie when Krug and his thugs
