It is the slasher movie of all time. The mother of all psychological thrillers,and one that revolutionized the horror genre. Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho pulled back the (shower)curtain to the ways rules can be broken and reformed in the world of cinema: protagonists can die mid-way through; monsters can be men; and tensions can cut deeper than kitchen knives. Join this deconstruction of Hitchcock's game-changing masterpiece, and learn how to extract its many lessons of strain, pacing, and unease to fold into your own writing. We promise this panel will leave you with "bated” breath to return to your script.
