Knife used in the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO, as well as in the 1983 sequel.

The knife on display at Movie Madness is one of two original knives used during the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO. Hitchcock did not believe in trick knives, so he had two knives made out of balsa wood created for this scene. The first knife had a sharp end which was used during most of the filming of the shower scene. The second knife was shortened and rounded at the end, designed so it could get as close as possible to Janet Leigh’s stand-in. This helped create the illusion that the knife was actually stabbing Janet Leigh’s character Marion. It was used in only three frames of the movie. The PSYCHO knife on display at Movie Madness is the only surviving knife from this classic film. This very same knife was used again by director Richard Franklin in the 1983 sequel, PSYCHO II, when Vera Miles character, Lila, is stabbed through the mouth.
