On Thursday, September 18, 2025 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to our Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and learn more about classic film Psycho.
Alfred Hitchcock often called Psycho “a big joke” and was horrified to discover that audiences “were taking it seriously.” Join us as we explore Hitchcock’s singular achievement, examine how the film was made and how it continues to haunt our cultural imagination.
