"Psycho" Shower Murder Parody | comment |
One of the most famous movie scenes of all time and perhaps the most frequently spoofed, parodied, imitated, plagiarized, and referenced one. Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960) has become infamous for the scene where a woman (Janet Leigh) is murdered while taking a shower. Back in 1960 audiences were utterly shocked when they saw this scene for the following reasons: Audiences weren't permitted to enter the theater mid-screening. They had to be present from the start or they wouldn't be allowed inside. Janet Leigh's character had been the film's protagonist for the first half of the story. Audiences identified with her actions when suddenly she was killed off. Up to that point, mainstream films had never let their central character die halfway through the film. Especially not that suddenly. It was the most graphic movie killing ever at the time, even though it was in black and white and the knife was never seen penetrating flesh. A lot of the horror comes from Bernard Herrmann's musical score, which itself became a Standard Snippet in comedic horror scenes: "Psycho" Strings. Of course, nowadays, the shower scene is a case of Once Original, Now Common. People have seen this scene parodied so much that there's a sense of overkill and thus the shock value of the original is lost. In fact, the Psycho Shower Scene Parodies themselves (always complete with "Psycho" Strings) have transformed into uninspired stock parodies that leave an audience sighing: "It's Been Done." Subtrope of Toilet Horror. Footage from over 20 versions of this scene were compiled in a YouTube video titled "50 Years of the Psycho Shower Scene." If a character is attacked while bathing or showering without parodying Psycho, see Deadly Bath. |

Done with a slight lampshade in the film National Lampoon's Vacation. Filmed from Clark's POV as he slowly enters the bathroom. The "Psycho" Strings emanate from the orchestra, and then he opens the shower curtain to find his topless wife showering. ...as he holds a harmless, ordinary BANANA and does his own (weak) vocal version of the infamous "REEE! REEE! REEE!" sound as the orchestral music fades away... Turns out it was only in jest, due to the blatant overuse of this joke. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" there's an original parody of the shower scene. Instead of taking place in a shower, Homer is attacked by Maggie with a hammer in the garage. The "Psycho" Strings music is present, as are the same shots, and a can of red paint provides the same effect of blood flowing away in the drain. | |

Ice Nine Kills has a whole song called, "The Shower Scene" that is a homage to the movie and named after the famous death, complete with the signature "Psycho" Strings for when the killing takes place. The song eventually got a music video, which is an even bigger homage to the movie and features a version of the titular moment, during the breakdown. It starts out seemingly normal with the Norman Bates figure dressed up as "Mother" ready to kill the lead heroine. But when he pulls back the shower curtains and prepares to stab the lead, he's surprised to find a dress on a clothes hanger in her place. In his brief confusion, the heroine, who was hiding behind him all along, emerges with her own knife and proceeds to kill the Norman Bates figure instead, completely inverting the trope. | |

Also spoofed at the end of The Silence of the Hams, which is something of a parody mix between The Silence of the Lambs and Psycho. The killer in question is Alfred Hitchcock, who kills the director of Hams in the shower for making fun of his film. Then it turns out it was Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza (Dom De Luise) wearing a latex mask. | |

Arachnophobia has a scene where a young woman is showering, but unbeknownst to her, one of the lethal, venomous spiders is crawling along her shower rod, before jumping onto her face and crawling down her body. She remains oblivious as it gets washed off her body until she notices the spider is on her feet and starts screaming... causing her family to barge into the bathroom, where she forgets all about the spider and has a Naked Freak-Out instead. | |

Funky Squad: In "The Carnival is Over", Cassie heads home...and re-enacts the Psycho shower scene. Fortunately, it ends with a phone call rather than a knifing. But there’s a mechanical laughing clown on the other end of the line and a message scrawled on the mirror. | |

The Looney Tunes Show: Similar to the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends example, during the musical number 'We Are in Love', Lola stalks Bugs in the shower with a carrot that Bugs mistakes for a knife. | |

Housepets! gives us one in the arc "Be Mine!" with Sasha "attacking" a showering King with a scrub brush. King lampshades the situation in the previous comic by imagining hearing violin strings. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: Played with in "The Party." Two Siamese cats attempt to lure Mittens into playing a party game with them based on Alfred Hitchcock films which involve likely injury or death to their prospective guest. Psycho is not one of these films, however, as they say things didn't turn out so well last time they played a game based on it. | |

In the Homestar Runner video "Jibblies 2", Coach Z proclaims that during Halloween when there's an insane monster running around there's no safer place to be than in the shower (which sort of makes sense given that it's a painting). He is immediately jibblified by the Horrible Painting wearing a shower cap. | |

The 5 Second Films video "The Early Bird Killer", in which the presumably eponymous serial killer comes to kill a girl in the shower. The twist is that she had already been killed by another serial killer, who is currently taking a shower in her place. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action featured a moment early in the film with Kate Houghton exploring protagonist Damien Drake Jr.'s house, only to find Bugs Bunny in the shower. Upon being discovered, Bugs reenacts the classic scene (even dumping chocolate syrup down the drain to create the blood effect) before complaining "Doesn't anyone knock anymore?" This is just the straw that broke the camel's back on Kate's awful day. | |

Charmed: In an early episode, where horror movie killers come to life and hunt the sisters, Piper, running from one such killer, makes the very wise decision of hiding in the shower. After noting her own stupidity, she sees a shadowy figure approaching from behind the curtain... luckily, it's Prue. | |

Histeria! had a segment where the kids confuse Wild Bill Hickok with Alfred Hitchcock, leading to a parody where the "assailant" approaches the shower only to pull down the toilet handle. | |

An episode of Dexter's Laboratory ends with a shadow sneaking up on Dad in the shower brandishing a pointy object, but it turns out its just Mom with a brush that she scrubs Dad's back with. This ending is from the episode "Pslightly Psycho" that Mom spent in a semi-psychotic state due to the family swiping her signature gloves and setting off her germophobia (she snaps out of it by the end when she finds out they gave her a new pair as a Mother's Day gift). | |
