Why is Hitchcock the only director able to kill the main character in the middle of the movie?
No one else has even dared to try

thanks for ruining it asshole
she obviously wasn't the main character then
you can see at the end the police rescuing her and the car
You had 60 years
It was one of the first times this was done and there a few films that do it too as a reference.
Notably
The Place Beyond the Pines and Death Proof
norman is the main character
Friedkin does it.
Psycho is based on a book, and this happens in the book. Hitchcock didn't come up with it.
she wasn't a main character. she was the first iteration. tarantino does this in deathproof.
That was normans car you idiort
Scream
How did Scream do that? Neve Campbell was around for every sequel
Drew
unconsciously predicted trannies
You’re a moron. In homage to Hitchcock they made it look like Barrymore was the star. Elm Street did this too. You think Tina is the star but it turns out to be Nancy. They do it again in Dream Warrior when they skill Kirsten and it’s Alice that’s the star. All homages to Hitchcock
Red Dawn
Life
The Hateful Eight
Proxy
Ikiru
That wasn't "the middle of the movie," she dies in the first scene. She isn't even really introduced as a main character, let alone the main character
How about at the beginning of the movie?
>All homages to Hitchcock
Robert Bloch wrote Psycho
>Red Dawn
The remake? Otherwise that doesnt ring a bell.
Did Block hire a big name actress at time to play a minor role to fool audiences?
Does it matter? Do you think the audience wouldn't have been fooled if it was a lesser known actress?
She was a lying whore who stole from her employer. She was the real psycho.
Yup. It was all about star power back then. People expected Janet Leigh to be the star of the entire movie. Add on she was on all the advertising
