When I was 14 years old, my brother Keith took me to see the movie Psycho at the Marina Theatre on Chessna Street in San Francisco.

It was the first time I'd seen a horror movie in a theater and what a movie to start with. I was so terrified I didn't take a shower for weeks.

This was really the first time I'd ever seen a movie in which the bad guy was not overtly evil looking, where they were not constantly telegraphing the fact that the character was a murderer or a killer.

Norman Bates, and I'm assuming all true crime fans have seen this movie, and if not, you need to. Norman was slightly odd.

But he looked like a shy, normal guy. I really did not expect the reveal that happens at the end. I told myself, oh come on, this is Make Believes, just a movie right out of Hollywood.

No one would ever be that disturbed to keep the dead with them in their house. But Psycho was based on a real story, on a real man. His name was Ed Geen.

And the town he lived in in Wisconsin considered him a nice guy, if not slightly odd.

He had lived there most of his life and worked odd jobs as a handyman. Most of the families felt sorry for him and invited him over to eat dinner.

Some of them even let him babysit their children. What they would later learn about Ed Geen is what the audience learns about Norman Bates.

That looks can be deceiving, and that they're nice, quiet, neighbor, committed crimes far more shocking than any movie.
