It was a very well done move and scared me intensely

It was a very well done move and scared me intensely. Hitchcock was the master of suspense and made several scary movies (the Birds is another landmark movie of his). I don’t know why humans are so fascinated by scary movies but this one is way up there on the scary scale. It is a classic and references from the movie still abound: Bates Motel, shower scene, Norman Bates… The rest of the story:

We survived the movie and Pat’s mom picked us up. They dropped me off at home around 9 PM. I got ready for bed and tried to go to sleep.

It was still hot so the attic fan was on to provide what cooling it could. In order to get the cooling I had to have my window open 4” or so (refer to the Idylwood House post). The room I shared with Terry was on the southwest side of the house and my window was on the south side looking into our neighbor’s front yard.
