Interesting facts
The Psychopath is a 1966 British horror film directed by Freddie Francis and starring Patrick Wymark and Margaret Johnston. It was written by Robert Bloch and was an Amicus production.
Production
Shooting started September 1965. The Psychopath was an attempt to capitalize on the success of Hammer Films' recent series of psychological thrillers, including Taste of Fear (1961).
Robert Bloch recalls in his autobiography Once Around the Bloch: An Unauthorized Autobiography being taken with his wife Eleanor Zalisko Alexander to the country in England by Ronald Kirkbride, and "the next morning a limo took us to Shepperton Studios, where we lunched after watching Freddy Francis helm a scene for The Psychopath.
