Motion Picture Purgatory: Psycho

By The Woman In Black
January 14th, 2010

As we told you last week, Trembles is enjoying a much deserved break so he sent over another oldie but goodie for this week's MPP: none other than Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1960 film Psycho!

If you don't know this flick inside and out, then you certainly shouldn't call yourself a horror fan. Psycho spawned two sequels, a prequel, a remake, and an unsuccessful television spin-off. It's considered by many to be the best film Alfred Hitchcock directed, and there are probably still people who to this day refuse to take a shower because of it!

Night Flier Director Mark Pavia Explores Sick Nick!
For me, one of the best horror films of the 90s is The Night Flier. The Stephen King adaptation is a terrifically eerie little horror film boasting some fantastic atmosphere and performances, and I've always felt its success is largely due to Mark Pavia's skilled direction. For a while it looked like Pavia was never going to deliver a sophomore effort, but we're happy to announce that day is finally here!
