A six-minute trailer and yet no footage from the actual film...genius.
yes, and fun fact, when he pulls back the shower curtain it's Vera Miles in a wig screaming! He was always trying to keep you guessing!
And that could never happen today... Imagine how much a 6-minute trailer would cost to show...
@@aspireahead8388 Good. I don’t want to wait 6 minutes with a guy giving a house tour, at the same time spoiling his own movie, before watching my movie.
@@bulb9970That’s basically the point for some of his trailers, especially with this one. They don’t call Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense, for nothing.
And another thing, as he was about to explain certain actions or even his characters, and such, he left it for us to see what had happened, throughout that movie.
That’s movie magic from Hitchcock himself, and frankly, if I ever saw a trailer like this one today (which the odds can be very low), I would simply think that they used his magic, to display it right in front of us.
Hitchcock knew how to deliver and sell, he was very confident in his directing abilities. If you wanted to know, then you had to buy a ticket. Yet he built up so much suspense and curiosity in his own trailers. We need directors and movies like this today, I've honestly been watching movies from the 1930's through the 80's for the last decade by choice, and very very rarely am I disappointed
I love how he's so detailed about the murder scenes, yet so vague and hesitant about the characters and their motivations... not only was Hitchcock the Master of Suspense, he also knew how to bait the audience with curiosity.
Perfectly said! ✌
I can't believe nobody's ever commented on this.
This was his most secretive project. A movie that change thrillers forever.
This is a trailer, the object is to entice the viewers to want to see the movie, which means not explaining everything up front. His actual shows are pretty good about addressing character's motivations.
First time I've heard of it. So never before commented on it.@@fatahiabdulai5814
Feels more like a documentary of actual real events than a trailer for a movie.
Martin Vik Bjørkøy That's probably on purpose to put the aduince off just a little bit
Refreshing isn't it?
that's what makes it feel so scary
Plpoloooloppplpplplpppppppppppppppplplplpppppp
I agree
The way how he says "The Bathroom...."
It's funny out of context but the way he says it sends a chill down your spine. He is giving you an idea that something infamous happened there...
Well, in the 60s, one of the biggest struggles for him was being allowed to show a close-up of the toilet in Psycho. I bet showing a bathroom was scandalous.
Can you imagine, steven speilberg walking around the set of jurassic park talking about the event that occurred.
Brandon Dias Or any of his other films for that matter?
I can, actually. And it would've been amazing!
Can you imagine Jeff Goldblum doing it 😆
LOL
@@TheAlps36
This where ah ah ah a Trex ate a man
Well, Hitchcock really knows how to build suspense.
No defense against Hitchcock once he presents.
Well they don’t call him the Master of Suspense for nothing.
It's how he treats his audience. His movie were rather like a gigantic elaborate prank he sets up to inflict on them, then sets the audience up rather like voyeurs, with excellent lens effects and the scene. He's a prankster, writ large and very twisted.
This was in the style of the introductions for his TV series (those were written for him by James Allardice). He had a *very* macabre sense of humor.....
@@vestonbruno2795 Am I seeing the comment is 6 years old? Yes
Will it stop me from doing this? Absolutely not...
*MY SKILL IS ENOURMOUS, ORCHESTRATE BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE. YOU'RE MORE HORRIBLE THAN MEGAN FOX's ACTING IN TRANSFORMERS*
*describes horrible brutal murder than stops due to it being to horrible* Happy music
then* too*
@J C I don't think so. The music sound pretty casual for the 1960s, pretty sure that's another morbid little touch.
This trailer is PERFECT. It shows so much, but nothing at all! It alludes to points in the movie that hitchcock is obviously disturbed by, so he doesn't go into detail and skips over it. This makes us really want to know what he was talking about. Or when he looked in the closet and made a shocked and disturbed face, but didn't describe or show us what was inside. When he tells us about the son's room, we really want to know what's in there, but he glosses over it. This trailer is a masterpiece.
+Maplebaconz No, the trailer is giving away a lot. Just think of how the film is kind of a road movie throughout the first half hour. When the woman arrives at the
motel there is nothing to indicate that it will be of major importance to the film. It is just a stop by on the road. After watching the trailer, a viewer will be waiting for the motel to finally come up for the first half hour. I'm glad I watched Psycho unprepared.
+Anrainerstaat well at least it isn't a quickly cut compilation of reaction shots and jumpscares. it literally didn't give away anything. that's why it's good
+Maplebaconz That' right.
@@Anrainerstaat Hitchcock's trademark. He did the same with 'The Birds'.
@@Anrainerstaat I wish i could watch it again and be as surprised as the first time :(
"No one will be seated after the start of the movie"
This rule should be applied universally now
You either watch a movie from the start, or you dont watch it at all
Hoyts Metro, here in New Zealand, has a policy of not admitting anybody in 20 minutes after the movie has started.
@@michaelclentworth1283 20 minutes is a lot lol
You should be able to enter but you have to stand in the back
I like how the music switches back and forth from charming to horror. It builds up uneasy tension. Clever.
Holy cow, can you imagine sitting in a theater in 1960, waiting for some innocuous film, and then see this? Hitchcock was a genius, it's almost hard to imagine movies and horror films prior to Psycho. Hard to imagine a more influential film.

The BATH

First bathroom in a movie.
This movie actually holds up really well.
That's Hitchcock for you. A lot of his films hold up really well.
Good movies don't stop being good! Who would've thought?
I agree, first time watching Hitchcock and I must say his films are anxiety inducing mastepieces.
That’s an understatement
they should bring back these kinds of trailers
There are not a lot of directors who can do this. Uncle Alfred was one of a kind.
Studios like trailers that give away the whole plot.
@@johnfitzpatrick3094 So then what's the problem, officer?
@@britneyhochman5204 I don't like trailers that are basically, you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. Great trailers don't give everything away.
John Fitzpatrick sorry, my sarcasm isn’t always as obvious as I mean for it to be sometimes lol. I’m with you buddy, I thought you were making a comment on how ironic it is that Hitchcock was doing kind of the same thing that’s happening in studio trailers nowadays.
I love that Alfred Hitchcock just gives a UA-cam house tour of the Bates Motel
Brilliantly conceived, written, and executed, and bar none, the best movie trailer in history. Even the trailer scares the heck out of you. Alfred Hitchcock was truly one of a kind.
@Bessie D. You're right. And you know how it is: borrow from the best and tweak it enough to make it your own. Castle was another one of a kind talent. I loved his films. And we all know about Welles.
North By Northwest has an excellent trailer.
Don’t forget the birds 🦅
Yes, The Birds. Only trailer I knew till this one.@@james-jg8iu
I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old back in the early nineties. It's what made me want to be a writer and a filmmaker. Thank you, Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
The classic Hitchcock silhouette at 6:00
Good eye!
I saw this trailer probably dozens of times and never even noticed that, his shadow cast perfectly on the bathroom wall like that! I wonder if Hitchcock set the lighting up like that on purpose, or if it was just a coincidence? What an excellent final touch, though.
One of the greatest film trailers of all time. Saying everything and nothing at the same time.
Alfred Hitchcock was a genius !
yes he was
Dixit janedoe.
Music just fabulous. The use of those searing violins - unforgettable.
Love the little hand movements at 4:53.
Really, that's a hoot haha
Lol. SO british.
I actually do that and I did that even before seeing the trailer
@@UCKABAH Why does he does that?
One of the best films ever made,still holds up,to this day
Watched "Psycho" last night, or the 5 millionth time and Anthony Perkins's performance still mesmerizes me with its subtlety.
This is singlehandedly the scariest but at the same time not scary trailer I have ever seen.
Seriously, I've never seen Psycho but now I think I'm going to watch it.
It’s a great movie, one of my favorites
Please watch it...it's the bestest movies of all
Hope ya did as it truly is a masterpiece
Did you like it?
@@randywhite3947 I keep getting notifications on this comment actually so I'll answer on this reply; yeah, I loved it! I watched it soon after I made the comment with a friend without knowing the twist and it was awesome. I got super into Hitchcock's stuff afterwards too but Psycho is still my favorite and I've seen it a good number of times since.
This trailer is more captivating and entertaining than most full-length films nowadays.
Jesus, the suspense. I knew what was coming when he looked towards the shower, but the scream made me shudder anyway. Pure terror. Amazing 😊
hi...i am from india..🇮🇳 i like this movie🔥
Same. What he was doing was conveying the emotion of the terrorized through six minutes of quiet British prose (so, the same calm you have when you are taking a shower) with the sudden interruption of the most horrible thing imaginable, with music and text to perfectly punctuate the split. If you are at all empathic then you feel that terror with her just for a moment. Gah.
He is so extremely detailed in the way he describes things, giving you a lot of information while also being extremely vague and not giving away anything. I find it fascinating
My ex girlfriend watches Bates Motel. I asked her if she's seen Psycho and guess what? She doesn't know what it is!
supermariofan03 I watched this after Finnising it the go well together
guess thats why she is the ex girlfriend
Wow.
Bates Motel is an insult to this movie. The first two seasons were engaging but it came more intolerable with time.
Watch Attack of the Clones with her and ask if she’s seen The Empire Strikes Back.
why on earth has no one done this since? greatest trailer of all time imo
So Critic hyped up the trailer for me, and I came here to watch the trailer.
Now I want to see the movie. Good job Hitchcock!
Only took you 55 years.
George Constanza Assuming he has lived for, at least, that long. Like saying it took you 13.8 billions of years to finally get laid, it's not a very fair claim ;)
Wow, he really hid almost everything but left us with so much to think about
Patrick Polcari They didn’t call him the ‘master of suspense’ for nothing
This has got to be one of, if not my favorite, movie trailer. Its long but its like Hitchcock is trolling the audience like he is almost psychotic himself. He explains everything and nothing in this 6 minute trailer.
I hate movie trailers. directors can't seem to get trailers right.
Hitchcock got it right with this one.
Chables DIRECTORS don’t make the trailers! A separate company with their own directors and editors do!
Well, he know how to keep certain things from the audience. Guess work and a little imagination works wonders in films.
@@penguinexpress12 Hitchcock directed this trailer. A lot of people don't know that.
John Fitzpatrick well I should hope he directed it given that’s a film of him walking around the Psycho set. The original comment was “directors can’t seem to get trailers right” and I responded by saying that directors don’t make the trailers anymore. Hitchcock DID make this trailer which is why it’s quite a decent piece of film on its own.
@@penguinexpress12 I agree with you.
So entertaining without even showing clips from the picture! The Master of Suspense!
That's one of the masters at work. That trailer makes me want to watch and I've seen it 1000x.
Gooood afffternoon...lol
Groundhog Day is still better
I would say it is the best and most realistic film trailer of all time. The genius aspect of this trailer is Hitchcock mentions nearly everything about the film in a subtle manner. But at the same time, people don't realize it until they watch the film. This film actually shows the reality of what is going on today. But many people still don't seem to realize it. That's what makes Psycho "one of the greatest films of all time."
A brilliant trailer because it keeps switching its tone between neighbourhood gossip and sinister suggestion. And the tension gently builds, and builds, nudged along, as usual, by Hermann's brilliant score.
It's terrible, it's horrible, I just can't possibly .... wait to tell you about it!
Oh, lovely bit at 3:30 :D
3:02 I think it's brilliant that he makes a big thing out of implying there's something disturbing in that wardrobe, but it never actually has any relevancy in the final film.
I think he may be implying it to be empty, alluding to the ending
I’ve never actually seen the movie does the picture actually have “great significance” like he says or is he just messing with us again?
@@redeyepeyton I just saw it and the picture is significant in a way, at least.
@@redeyepeyton Think of it this way. How many can you name from 1960? How many films from all time have been as copied and parodied? Of course it has great significance.
BEHOLD! THE GREATEST JUMP SCARE OF ALL TIME
We need more trailers like this today 😂
This is honestly the funniest trailer I've ever seen.
It's also one of the greatest trailers in cinema history....
And there reason is... let's go to the next place. And this, is magnificent because.... oh I almost forgot... bathroom
"Psycho"(1960) is a masterpiece and the best psychological thriller movie of all time for sure!
God Bless Mr. Hitchcock for been with us for entertainment and joyful memories he gave us, god bless him!
You don't see movie trailers like this anymore- the way Hitchcock builds his audiences up for certain scenes, places, as well as characters, throughout this particular trailer, as well as some of his other ones, it gets them suspicious and anxious about what needed to be explained, before they actually see the movie. Like he always does, he doesn't give away too much, since he's always expecting his audiences to be either frightened, shocked, or even terrified, just by watching this movie and his others.
I just watched this movie for the first time and it's still a masterpiece.
This is the best trailer of all times... I wish they would advertise movies like this today...
I love how he starts describing basically every important plot point but then just stops lol. Probably very effective in its time. You'd want to know what became of the "poor young man," what the importance of the picture was, and boy, that scream at the end is intense and very different from the rest of the trailer.
Lol, I remember watching this trailer as a kid, thinking that this was no horror movie. Boy, was I wrong on so many levels when I saw the ending. Not to mention, that scream still gives me chills, lol.
2:45 "..still beautifully preserved.." I see what you did there, Alfred
A Trailer that DOES NOT show one clip of the film at all
Today's movie trailer's could learn from this
What a masterpiece created by a legend. Nowadays movies are just quality print. Absolutely favorite movie and all its sequels too.
I’ve listened to the shower scene music live done by an orchestra and let me tell it’s really scary! Those screaming strings. The whole movie was stringed instruments I believe. So effective.
I want to watch the movie just for clarification on what actually happened, trailer did it's job!
Did you finally watch it?
a trailer that spoils the most anticipated scenes by the director himself XD
DIGIMEI It helps that he talks about them (like "the victim" stumbling down the stairs) as opposed to actually showing the scenes. That way, you as an audience member might forget by the time the movie plays, or when you see the detective going up the stairs it adds to the suspense since Hitch described it, and you are waiting to see just how it plays out.
You know, as opposed to the trailer for THE MARTIAN, where they show Matt Damon survive, "science the sh-t out of stuff", send a message *and* we see the rescue mission heading for him. Like someone in the AICN talkback put it: "Great... now all I need to see is the final 20 minutes."
+DIGIMEI Yes, I think so as well. It is also important to keep in mind that the film is kind of a road movie throughout the first half hour. When the woman arrives at the motel there is nothing to indicate that it will be of major importance to the film. It is just a stop on the road. After watching the trailer, a viewer will be waiting for the motel to appear for the first half hour.
+DIGIMEI Yes he does, but not completly. He is teasing his viewers by telling them just enough to keep them interested and wanting to see the movie and find out what happened.
He liked to tell the stuff beforehand because it wasn´t about the surprise.
Yes, the opening of films were big events at the movie theaters in the old days since as you say there was no VCR, no DVD, no internet, no Netflix, no cable. In was not uncommon to see lines around the block for the opening of films in those days.
“Right here is where he...
No no no it’s too awful to describe.”
Modern Moviegoers: I hate how trailers spoil everything these days!
Alfred Hitchcock: Please hold my wine.
he really is a fantastic story teller and speaker. you become hooked and glued to every word he says
Leave it to Hitchcock to give us everything and nothing at the same time. In a movie trailer no less.
One of the greatest suspense movies of all time Period!!!!!
Who else watched this for the first time and freaked out when this totally relaxed mastermind gave us a freaking jump scare??
Hitchock was a brilliant artist
Fun fact: The design for Disneyland in Paris's Phantom Manor was inspired by the Bates' house.
This is less a trailer for the movie and more of a trailer for Mr. Hitchcock's fabulous accent which is like a warm sweater and a glass of cognac on a cold day.
I've seen the movie dozens of times, and this makes me want to watch it again!
The suspense he builds up is so great i was just expecting someone to jump out from behind something or from a shadow as hitchcock went from room to room
When the trailer is just as good as the movie itself...
One of the best trailers I've ever seen. Hitchcocks takes you, teases you and invites you to watch his movie on a excelent way. The only thing I would want to get rid of, are the happy melody's.
Tom Hamoen I would get rid of when he goes to the bathroom and sais that it looked very bloody and spoils the shower scene
I think it helps with Hitchcock's personality.
@@weirdguy1495 it really did
Will be seeing this set for the 4th time when I go on my road trip to L.A. April 6th.
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Alfred Hitchcock in 1960: 3:32 5:15
I have watched psycho so many times and still gives me chills
Just finished watching this classical masterpiece on my mobile and it's impossible to describe how much i have enjoyed this movie.
now i just want to write one thought here that, i have been watching this movie's trailer since i was child.there was time i can stil remember in 2006 to 2009 when the trailer of this movie used to come sony pix where one bathing girl got killed and this movies was always used to schedule in late night. at that time i was just 11-12 years old. but after many year when i grown up and started watching hollywood movies then i came to know that this movie is one of the psychological suspence thriller movie ever made in hollywood so i wanted to watch this movice since 2018 but for some reasons i have not watched this movie till today.
but today i got some free time and watched this spectacular movie which is absolutely splendid piece of writting and direction.

The fact that he sounds psychotic in a way because of how he describes the
Gruesome murders then says "let's move along" with happy music is what gets to you. And the ending jumpscare is what you didn't expect to end it with. He was a true genius of his time!
The genius aspect of this trailer is it mentions nearly everything about the film in a subtle manner. But at the same time, people don't realize it until they watch the film.
@@josephpendleton4927 that and the somewhat comedy music changing dramatically into the famous scene of the film as well.
@@bovineapples7209 Yes, Hitchcock used to immediately switch from a comedy scene to an intense scene in his films.
@@josephpendleton4927 he was and always be a genius!
Well I won’t dwell upon it 😂
The master of suspense .A genius at selling his movies to the public .
He wanted to keep the mother part so secret that he started a rumor in the press before production began that he was looking to cast the role of Mrs Bates
Wow. He really knew how to get you hooked. His voice is also kind of like ASMR and enjoyable to hear..The music is also nice and classy..
You can see how excited Mr. Hitchcock is! He just spoils the best scenes for us!
Now This is how you hype a movie.
I never thought, i would see a 6 minute trailer....and love it...until this.
I wish more actual films are made like this. not all this marvel cgi fanservice stuff
One of the best movie trailers! Hitchcock is so brilliant.
Saw this once decades ago in 6th grade class. The "this picture has great significance because..." still stays with me
I once had a teacher that explained things just like Hitchcock
this is one of the best trailers for a film
he gave so little detail and a lot of details
he showed no clips from the actual film and i just ... wow
the bathroom .LOL
Never realized that the movie had such an interesting trailer. Very revolutionary for it's time. Thanks Rob Ager.
6:03 I LOVE how they didn’t give away the twist, just beautifully teased it! 😂😂😂😂😂😂👊
He is wonderfully natural in front of a camera. I’ve watched Hitchcock in interviews but delivering scripted lines, he can be a delightful, English gentleman who slowly turns very sinister. Was Hitchcock an actor early on in his career? His delivery of, “the bathroom”, was perfect. To think there was a time where no one knew what that (i.e. the shower scene) was in reference to.
This is one of the most brilliant trailers for a movie there ever was
I love how the trailer didn't spoil the entire movie like how tailers nowaday
Clever Clever Clever
You see, this Trailer is not that 'Good' per say. Its not good at being a Trailer, but its good at doing the base purpose of Trailer. It makes you want to see the god damn film.
Then it's a great trailer!
That´s the point of a trailer. The new ones show all the good parts of the movie :P
I love it what he says at 3:51! Then he stops and continues looking around the place, lol.
3:11 Dat subtle shiver
Interesting Fact: That's Vera Miles, not Janet Leigh, screaming in the shower at the end. Vera played Marion Crane's sister in the film. My favorite movie trailer of all time.
Collative learning brought me here. Amazing trailer
Music just fabulous. Unforgettable.
16 Jun 2020 - Happy 60th anniversary to the premiere of "Psycho"
60th anniversary! Insane!
Man, I wish I was around back then!
A unique approach to advertising a film and only Mr. Hitchcock could make it work!
I could listen to him talk for hrs 😊
