The answer is true. Alfred Hitchcock did indeed use chocolate syrup to simulate the blood in the famous shower scene from his film "Psycho." This decision was made due to the film's black and white cinematography, as Hitchcock believed that using actual blood would not have had the desired visual impact. By opting for chocolate syrup instead, the stark contrast with the white shower tiles and the ability to capture the texture and depth of the blood-like substance was achieved.
