It's PSYCHO vs NORTH BY NORTHWEST for the final spot in the final four of Favorite Hitchcock Film tournament

In the 60's era of the favorite Hitchcock film tournament, top seed Psycho beat fourth seed Marnie 10-3 while 2nd seed North By Northwest defeated 3rd seed The Birds 11-2. Both Tippi Hedren starring films got showned the door. And 1959 release North By Northwest was included in this era because there was not enough films made by Hitch in the 60's. Looks like that paid off for NBNW. So now Psycho will battle North By Northwest for the final spot in the final four. The match begins immediately and will run thru Tuesday 8 pm EST. Good luck to both films.

Classic Horror Films: Day 13 (PSYCHO - 1960)

One of Hitch's best films he ever made. Anthony Perkins is perfect as Norman Bates, a young man who runs The Bates Motel, who has a serious mother fixation. Along comes Janet Leigh, a young woman on the run from the cops for stealing money from her job. And the rest is cinema magic. Psycho set the standard for all the slasher flicks that would follow, but it's still the best one. It works as a thriller and a character piece. You really get to know Norman Bates and Perkins does a helluva job. Janet Leigh is pretty good too. A must see.
