Some of the deaths in the poll, like The Wicked Witch melting in ’The Wizard Of Oz’ (13th), are iconic but laughable, but nearly 45 years on, ’Psycho’s’ shower scene is still distressing,” said Total Film deputy editor Simon Crook.

“It’s the sheer violence of the edit rather than any explicit gore — 70 different angles, over 90 cuts and those shrieking violins. It’s a master class in montage and audience manipulation.”

Crook added: “Knowing that the blood is Bosco’s chocolate syrup and that a pulped casaba melon stood in for the stabbing noises does nothing to reduce the impact.”

I'd actually vote David Warner's decapitation scene in "The Omen" over that.

or the videotape of the family getting offed in "Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer" (...and the kid walks in on it happening ...ugh...)

since the shower scene is so high profile and cited so many times, I just see it as a plot point.

Arbogast's death scene in "Psycho" is pretty startling, too. . .
