Question
I have a question on Psycho that nobody seems to be able to answer. When I was a kid my parents went to the drive in to see Psycho.Towards the end of the movie Alfred Hitchcock appeared and told everyone the the next seen would be disturbing but no one should leave the Theater.The seen showed a man walking behind a old woman sitting in a wheel chair. He was caring a large knife and cut the woman head off. It rolled down the stairs and when it got to the bottom you seen it was his dead mothers head.The man with the knife then turned around and Norman dressed like his mother stabbed him. I have never seen this seen in any dvd or replay of Psycho can you help me. Thank You

Answer
Hi, Donald...

I have seen Psycho literally a hundred times, on home video and in special screenings at classic movie houses, and I have NEVER seen the scene you are talking about... my only guess is that it was some special scene added for the premiere week...

Sorry I couldn't be more help...
