Shower Head from "Psycho"

Taken from the set of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho, this shower head was used in the iconic shower scene. After the film premired, the shower head absorbed the terrors of the scene. When water is flowed through it, anyone caught in its stream goes into shock.

Origin
Psycho is a 1960 American horror-thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Janet Leigh. The screenplay is by Joseph Stefano, based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert Bloch loosely inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer and grave robber Ed Gein.

The film centers on the encounter between a secretary, Marion Crane (Leigh), who ends up at a secluded motel after embezzling money from her employer, and the motel's disturbed owner-manager, Norman Bates (Perkins), and its aftermath. When originally made, the film was seen as a departure from Hitchcock's previous film North by Northwest, having been filmed on a low budget, with a television crew and in black and white. Psycho initially received mixed reviews, but outstanding box office returns prompted reconsideration which led to overwhelming critical acclaim and four Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Leigh and Best Director for Hitchcock.

Effect
When water flowed through the shower head, anyone in its stream goes into a terrible shock. The only way to neutralize the artifact is dipping it in chocolate sauce, since the "blood" in the scene was actually chocolate. The user will have the theme song to Psycho play in their head, much like Ludwig van Beethoven's Clock.
