This week – on the Spooky Season debut of The Sideshow Theme Show, Will and Lasse dive headfirst into one of the most iconic pieces of film music ever written: Bernard Herrmann’s “Prelude” from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

We talk about how Herrmann’s bold choice to score Hitchcock’s thriller entirely with strings created a sound world that was stark, claustrophobic, and unforgettable. In the Prelude, those slashing rhythms set the stage for one of the most influential horror films of all time — instantly immersing the audience in a world of unease before a single word is spoken.

Along the way, we discuss:

Why the Psycho score is a landmark in film music history
Herrmann’s use of string orchestra to create psychological tension
How the Prelude sets up not just the story, but the entire sound of the film
The lasting impact of Psycho’s music on horror, thrillers, and beyond

Whether you’re a longtime Bernard Herrmann fan or just discovering the genius behind those infamous shower scene stabs, this episode is a deep dive into the craft and legacy of a true film music master.
