Psycho! at the Tower Theater

Your mom and I love a good horror movie, and Psycho is a classic from 1960 which set a historical standard and became a precedent for the genre in America. Your mom organized a bunch of people to go to a screening of the movie during the Fresno Filmworks Film Festival. It was a great experience, including a reading by a local author who based part of his novel on Alfred Hitchcock, a great movie being watched by an enthusiastic audience, and a wonderful dinner afterwards with some new friends.

The Tower Theater is a historical landmark in Fresno, and the namesake of the Tower District.
It was a great place to see a great movie. We can't wait to introduce you to classics like this. We sat next to an older gentleman who remembered the movie's first release in 1960. He said it was 25 cents to get in back then!
