He is the most disturbing character I have ever seen in a movie. He is so fascinating to watch as Psycho unfolds it's plot. Creepy is a great word to describe him. I agree that the police station scene at the end is the biggest shocker in movie history. No one could figure out that ending. I consider it Hitch's best movie.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-88564651134728398952010-01-15T17:27:20.324-05:002010-01-15T17:27:20.324-05:00I would definitely choose Norman Bates.

The final scene with Norman in the police station is a classic and bothers me to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-87440857155944613822010-01-12T18:44:11.522-05:002010-01-12T18:44:11.522-05:00I chose Norman Bates.

Watching Psycho for the first time, I was intrigued with his awkward and timid manner, and if you take away the whole crazy cross-dressing killer thing, he seems like a nice guy.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933226031230319298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-67618576916075031132010-01-12T11:24:23.188-05:002010-01-12T11:24:23.188-05:00Robert Walker's Bruno Anthony all the way for ...Robert Walker's Bruno Anthony all the way for me!The Vintage Vamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239250378502442712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-79652206079691420072010-01-11T15:16:17.579-05:002010-01-11T15:16:17.579-05:00This is a very thought-provoking poll.

He not only murders wealthy women whom he has decided are of no value to society but he attempts three times to kill his lovely niece because she knows the truth. Despite her knowledge, she tries to protect her mother and family and even Uncle Charlie but he doesn't show her any love. It is fascinating to watch the light drain from Teresa Wright's glowing countenance.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-25155312022859929042010-01-11T09:56:59.252-05:002010-01-11T09:56:59.252-05:00Rick, I voted for Norman Bates, Psycho.
