I remember the first time I watched PSYCHO— on a small TV in one of the Carriage House rooms/"dorms" of the Joe Kubert School. I'd heard about PSYCHO, but went into it cold.

Oh. My. GOD!

I cannot describe to you how disoriented and lost I was when Marion dies. The main character is… dead?! I'd never seen anything like that, didn't even know how to process it. Thankfully, that was when Arbogast enters the movie. A take-charge I-got-this-under-control sort of character I KNEW would solve the mystery.

UNTIL HE DIES, TOO!

PSYCHO left me reeling, in the best ways possible. An unforgettable movie.

Thank you for this, Clay. Wrath of Khan, the more and more I watch, the better and better the script and entire film become. Would you say all these elements work unilaterally for all formats - comics, novels, etc?
