Purchase your tickets now via PayPal!
Tickets are only $10 and include Dinner and the Movie!
While living in Weyauwega Robert Bloch penned the thriller, Psycho. He used various landmarks around Weyauwega and Waupaca county in the book. Hitchcock bought the rights for the movie and even though Bloch never worked on the movie script, Hitchcock did use the Waupaca area as a model for the movie sets. The 50th anniversary of the publication of the book is 2009 and WEGA ARTS plans a celebration of both the movie and the book.
"Robert Bloch wrote more than 200 stories (mostly fantasy, horror, and science fiction, but also mystery and crime), as well as 22 novels and a large number of non-fiction articles. He was also very active in Hollywood, penning a large number of teleplays and screenplays. He is best known to the general public for his novel "Psycho," which became the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's film of the same name. Bloch is regarded as one of the seminal authors of twentieth century fantastic literature, a successor to Poe and Lovecraft (by way of James M. Cain), but with a voice entirely his own." From the Unofficial website of Robert Bloch
