What did sound technicians use to create the famous stabbing sound effect in the shower scene of Psycho?
Tap your pick

The sound designer literally stabbed multiple melons to find the one with the most dramatic acoustic quality. Hitchcock actually rejected several other options, including sirloin steak, because they sounded too flat on tape. Photo: Designed by Macario Gómez Quibus.
