We’ll Take a Stab That You Don’t Know This About ‘Psycho’

3. The Material Was Too Bloody

Paramount Pictures (Hitchcock’s home base) refused to make the film at first. Like, staunchly refused. They wouldn’t give Hitchcock his usual budget, they wouldn’t let him shoot it on his Alfred Hitchcock Presents television set. They only said yes when Hitchcock forewent his normal salary of a quarter million dollars in favor of backend profits. It seemed like a silly deal on his part at the time.
