From Haunt Manchester’s Academic Lead Dr. Matt Foley (also a member of Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University), author of Haunting Modernisms –

“Paper&Blade’s hand-cut presentation of Marion Crane’s (Janet Leigh) iconic scream from the famous shower scene in Psycho (1960) is devilishly powerful. The image transports you immediately into the sonic and visual world of Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece.

The influence and reach of Psycho stretches into the slasher film genre that would follow it, and this lineage is partly what makes the shower scene so special to horror fans. That Ange Shepherd’s own art is ‘cut’ together makes the image of Marion particularly fitting…Ange’s version of the scene demonstrates that Hitchcock’s Marion will keep screaming and calling to us, arousing our primal fears, even if she is framed neatly and beautifully in the more comfortable surroundings of our living room walls.”
