Fun topic! I like the two you've already mentioned.
My favorite is the Murder of the private investigator, , Arbogast, on the stairs in Norman's house. The initial overhead shot is striking, as Norman/Mother emerges from the bedroom with deadly intent. When the slashing occurs, the camera follows the victim as he falls bleeding backwards down the stairs. If that's all not enough, Arbogast hits the floor at the bottom of the stairs and then Norman really gets to work! A wonderful scene in one of Horror's most iconic films.
