I really enjoyed the “Then and Now” pics from these three old movies. I saw Jaws and Psycho, but not Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I’m not a fan of horror movies, and just its title alone is frightening. 😱😱😱

I really liked this ‘Then And Now’ blog bit, and would definitely enjoy seeing more posts like this! Although I’ve never seen ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. I really dig only about 5 or 6 Horror movies, and I already know that this isn’t the type that would appeal to me in any way.
‘Psycho’ was the first Hitchcock film I ever saw and I was really into it for awhile. Back when I was working on movie & TV productions, the Psycho house was still standing at Universal Studios and was part of the tour ride. (It may still be there, for all I know.)
I worked at Universal many times. I always told myself that someday when I was working on a Universal set, I was going to bring an overnight bag with me, and after the filming wrapped for the day, I was going to climb up to the Psycho house and spend the night in there. I never did it, and it’s one thing I still kick myself over. It would have been SO EASY back then. Today, it would be impossible with countless security cameras and motion-detection sensors all over the place.

What an interesting life you have. Yes, the Psycho house is still there, just at a different location behind a Bates motel. It has been a while, but last time I went, as guided our tour tram drove by, a lookalike Norman Bates came out of room #1 with a lifeless body wrapped in a sheet and places it in the trunk of a 1959 Ford Fairlane.

Well, that sure is Edgartown; I got to go there once and drove around a bit, but it was packed with tourists. I’ve never seen Jaws; I think I saw part of Psycho, and the very thought of seeing a chainsaw in a massacre is not appealing. It is totally interesting to compare the sites then, and now, and the differences in architecture between Massachusetts, Texas, and California.
