![]() Disney has since said that the image wasn’t edited in by animators, but was done in the post-production stage and in 8 January 1999, Disney decided to recall 3.4 million copies of the 1977 animated movie. ![]() So rest easy: there’s still no evidence subliminal advertising really works. In fact it was down to Disney making the subliminal message public that people noticed it. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at all… Conclusionīefore anyone starts panicking about what movies might secretly be doing to their brains, here's the twist: no one has ever been able to reproduce the original study’s effects, with the researcher later admitting he actually fabricated the entire study. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. Disney scrubbed the moment from an initial VHS releasethe company seems to do that a lotbut when it moved ahead with the DVD release later in the ’90s, it failed to involve animators in. The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself.
