Buying now. I never saw the first Psycho. Will I need to in order to understand what the hell is going on?

I would like to know this also.  Even though I can't afford it.   Never mind.   

Spoiled for ranty profanity and frustration:

I also had no idea this came out YESTERDAY! It's my own fault. I guess that's what I get for missing ONE DAY... Oh well. Like somebody said a couple weeks ago, VODs don't expire if you don't watch them right away.

I saw it at the drive-in with friends.  We hated it. Should be a good riff. Whatever happened to Meg Tilly?

She mostly retired (money must be nice) about 20 years ago and only does stuff REALLY rarely.

Geez, how many horror movies have characters named "Loomis?!"

TheUnabeefer

Every horror movie that has a character named Loomis is in "homage" to the original Psycho, where the boyfriend's name is Sam Loomis (out of the book, Psycho)....

It's where it all started.
...and there he was, reigning supreme at number two.  The One... The Only... The Unabeefer.

Look, up in the sky! It's "Useless Trivia Man!"  ;)

That's actually pretty interesting, never really made that connection.

From what I can remember too, the movie Halloween has quite a few Psycho references in the naming, as well as other little bits. Some of the plot/story elements are very similar to some of the books too (specifically the 2nd book)... and the town square itself is almost exactly as described in the first Psycho book.

There's some more useless trivia for ya!! :D  .... I'm full of it! (pun intended)

Or as my sister (who thinks MST and Rifftrax are dumb) said to me on Xmas day last year: "You still remember all that shit?!"

I wonder if the follow up, Part III (made a couple years after this) is on their list

Man, I hope so

I CANNOT EFFING WAIT TO SEE THIS!!! I have read both the Robert Bloch novels (Psycho and Psycho II (yes, Bloch went there.)), seen all the flicks (except for the remake. I will never forgive Anne Heche for breaking the heart of Dory the Fish), the making-ofs, read both bios of Ed Gein, who inspired the whole thing, and even seen the house (the film film-set house. The neighbors burned the Gein Farmhouse to the ground shortly after the trial. Which annoys me every time I watch Giant Spider Invasion, ("saved a lot, buying the old Gein place!"), but I'm a total weirdo, so there's that) on the Universal studios tram tour, and now, the MST/Rifftrax Gang have done this!!!
