Peeping Tom is a 1960 British thriller/horror film directed by Michael Powell and written by the World War II cryptographer and polymath Leo Marks. The title derives from the slang expression 'peeping Tom' describing a voyeur. The film revolves around a serial killer who murders women while using a portable movie camera to record their dying expressions of terror.
The film's controversial subject and the extremely harsh reception by critics effectively destroyed Powell's career as a director in the United Kingdom. However, it attracted a cult following, and in later years, it has been re-evaluated and is now considered a masterpiece.
The music score, written by Brian Easdale, contains a challenging part for solo piano, which was played by the Australian virtuoso Gordon Watson.
Mark Lewis meets Dora, a prostitute, covertly filming her with a camera hidden under his coat. Shown from the point of view of the camera viewfinder, tension builds as he follows the woman into her home, murders her and later watches the film in his den as the credits roll on the screen.

A young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror. Director: Michael Powell Writers: Leo Marks (original story), Leo Marks (screenplay) Stars: Karlheinz Böhm, Anna Massey and Moira Shearer enjoy
A disturbed filmmaker (Carl Boehm) literally kills with his camera in this ahead-of-its-time shocker from revered British director Michael Powell. Like the same year's Psycho, this film's combination of voyeurism, eroticism and horror repelled some 1960 critics, but its cult reputation soared in later years. Moira Shearer (star of Powell's The Red Shoes) makes an appearance, as does Powell himself (as Boehm's father in flashback).
Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) is reviewing the footage from his latest crime when he is surprised by an unexpected visitor, Mrs. Stephens (Maxine Audley), the mother of the young woman who lives in the apartment below him. A tense scene from Michael Powell's 1960 film _Peeping Tom_.

Those haunting rhymes are keeping the time
But they'll never get through to me
It's my party but I'm waiting for someone to start it
It's my party, there's no one but me in the corner.
Gotta get my mojo runnin', engine hummin', don't I?
Now roll it up and smoke it again
Now light me up and snort it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again
Keep haunting me, taunting me
But they'll never get through to me
It's my party, but I'm waiting for someone to start it
My party, there's blood on the ceiling, the carpet
Gotta get my mojo runnin', engine hummin', don't I?
Now roll it up and smoke it again
It's bottoms up and drink it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again
I'm readin' the signs, makes me wonder
Why they're getting through to me
Gotta get my mojo runnin', engine hummin', don't I?
Gotta get my mojo runnin', engine hummin', don't I?
Now roll it up and smoke it again
It's bottoms up and drink it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again
