Anthony Perkins delivers a perfect performance as Norman Bates, and Janet Leigh as Marion Crane. It was quite amazing to see PSYCHO on the big screen. The nostalgic momentum that THE Emmaus Theatre holds allows it play new films, and take us back in time. They also played THE LOST BOYS for three days.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-148093\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/70q.ab7.mytemp.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Snapchat-10021396.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>National Alfred Hitchcock Day was celebrated all over, and even social media took time to share various Hitchcock films, and people took the time to talk about the history of his films, directing, producing, and creating a lasting legacy.
