"Psycho" Gift Idea: "Psycho" Inspired Shower Curtain - The Man with Knife Shower Curtain with Sound from Hollywood Toys & Costumes doesn't truly resemble Ms. Bates outside the shower curtain, but the silhouette of a man holding a knife-plus the blood splatters across the plastic-makes it undeniably inspired by "Psycho."
