Description

Robert Bloch's novel came out within 2 years of serial killer Ed Gein's arrest, but how much did it influence the character of Norman Bates? In episode 293, Luke & James discuss how Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation boosted Bloch's career, the psychology of dissociative identity disorder as portrayed on film vs. real life, some insidious transphobia, and the way true-crime fascination helped propel PSYCHO.
