The shower scene where Janet Leigh is stabbed to death.
In the original Hitchcock film the blood (in the shower scene at least) was made of chocolate syrup- you couldn't tell because it was shot in black and white.
Although much copied, the original horror movie with the shower scene and knife was Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The scene showed Janet Leigh's character getting stabbed to death in the shower by what appears to be an elderly woman. This scene is consider a classic horror / suspense film in cinema. Innovations included interesting camera angles and a tense musical score.
There was not a movie of his that only took seven days to shoot. I believe you are thinking of the shower scene in Psycho. The shower scene itself took seven days to shoot.
Janet Leigh
It took one week. There were like one hundred and forty something shots taken and that took alot of work back in 1959. It says so on the documentary on The Alfred Hitchcock Collection DVD.
