How does Alfred Hitchcock make a cameo appearance in Psycho?

He is seen briefly (through a window, wearing a cowboy hat) near the beginning of the film, when we see Janet Leigh's character at her office. Aug 02 03, 6:34 PM

It may be just a rumour but was his arm silhouetted and holding the knife in the shower scene? Mind you, I do remember reading that somebody else directed the shower scene itself so it probably isn't true. Either way, Norry's answer is correct (and chocolate sauce was used for blood in the shower scene). Aug 03 03, 7:52 PM
