Alfred Hitchcock created the definitive modern horror film with "Psycho". The film was one of the first to delve into the psychological machinations of a serial killer, played to perfection by Anthony Perkins.

This insert used an image of Janet Leigh wearing nothing but a slip and bra to lure audiences into the theatres!
