Through research into compositional techniques for film, I was able to find an interesting pdf document which details some of the compositional techniques and structures implied by Bernard Hermann in his most famous work 'Psycho'.
http://www.bernardherrmann.org/legacy/site/articles/misc/transformation_of_the_psycho_theme/transformation_of_the_psycho_theme.pdf
The document can be found at the above link.
The content details Bernard Hermann's musical cues for psycho and showcases many of the important thematic structures throughout many scenes including the famous shower scene which became one of the most inspirational themes for the horror/ slasher genre.
The document shows each example explained with musical score excerpts.
