he made this movie with his own money. These were the days of the cheap thriller movies for the drive-ins. And Hitchcock said: What if someone would do it right? And he did. It cost 800.000 dollars. And he made a masterpiece.
Fascinating, rare photos from on the set of this Hitchcock classic. As a longtime Hitchcock fan, there's some shots I've never seen till this video surfaced.There's even shots of the original Psycho house at Universal Studios from the opposite side, plus an aerial shot. About 20 years later it was first moved from it's original location near Singapore Lake on the backlot, rebuilt at least twice, as well as increasingly compromised, with radically different details, such as a road directly in front of the latest "Psycho house" porch, and sets from other movies like The Grinch and The War of the Worlds remake surrounding or directly next door to this altered but still iconic set.
the day to day world of film making is more tedious than most know. As an actor, you may spend 5 hours waiting for lighting, equipment, previous takes from other actors, sound issues etc, that you may only be in front of the camera for a few minutes. Some imaginary scary for 20 minutes leaves a whole lot of day for smiles.
Alfred Hitchcock's largest payday came from the film Psycho. He deferred his salary in exchange for 60% of the movie's profits. This resulted in an estimated $15 million payday, which adjusted for inflation is around $120 million today.
Wednesday 16th September 2020. I know that's really Alfred Hitchcock but somtimes I mistake him for Winston Churchill. Sorry! From Virginia Clark.?! :) :( ;)
shower scene is not a comedic scene but so many trashy humans use it as a joke in their edits so to all of them: STOP THAT oh and also stop mocking this movie by doing that
I feel it was perhaps unnecessary for Hitchcock to have shown the ghastly image of Norman's mother at the end. He could have achieved just as much suspense--possibly more--without showing it, and have only Marian's frightful scream to sustain the end. That would have been entirely sufficient. Just my opinion.
David cawrowl, That image of the mother's skull superimposed over Norman's face by Hitch in the penultimate shot was only on a fraction of the original prints. But the public was impressed by that subtle image, and that print became the one used. (But I erred here. You were actually talking about the previous climactic scene with the mystery of mother revealed).
I think with the build up through the entire last half of the movie about Norman's mother , Hitchcock was looking to scare the shit out of the audience and let them know without a doubt that Norman was one twisted MF-er and showing the corpse was the best way to achieve this . It would confuse a lot of people to just see a screaming woman
@Corno di Bassetto Exactly. Imagine if the mystery of the mother wasn't even revealed while Lila is screaming! The audience would be dumfounded, like What is she screaming about?? We rest our case!
Alfred Hitchcock Has Truly Created a Masterpiece.
Wow. There's Steve McQueen and his wife visiting the set.
All are beautiful pictures👍
Even the music in the movie was a masterpiece itself. Perfection

Such a surprise to have the leading lady killed so early in a movie.
Tony Perkins was incredible
Thanks so much for these, an amazing number of which I’d not seen until now.

Wow, I can’t believe how uncanny the resemblances are between Anthony Perkins and Eric McCormack are in some of those shots 😱😋
Janet on the Bed at 1:00
Wow....🥰
0:20
The bestest
oh sweet boy(in mama's voice)
Thanks for uploading that. I didn't have the patience to step through the pics included on my DVD extra features. This is much better!
The shower scene in Psycho which Janet Leigh soaped herself up lathered in water she seemed more relaxed than ever until the stabbing scene occurred
For such a disturbing movie, there sure were alot of smiles behind the camera...probably had to laugh to cope with what they were filming..🤪

@@zedwpd good point..maybe ol Hitchcock had a wicked sense of humor 😄
I'm not certain, but the still at 2:44 looks to be from Marnie, with Tippi Hedren at the desk.
Yes, you're correct, Tippi Hedren in Marnie.
Yep, that is most certainly The Tippster. Probably where Marian Crane works in office it was mistaken to be from "Psycho."

A little bit of cinema history captured in fascinating rare photos. It is almost like looking at a great monument while it was being constructed.
.....and they managed to laugh about it
A very pure movie
Alfred Hitchcock was , and still is, a genius.
The greatest movie of human history created by a short,stout ,old genius obsessed with macabre and blondes.
ok
Let's be clear, he was a sexual pervert toward his leading ladies. As testified by the ladies in question.
Is that Steve McQueen at 1:47?
Yes
@@behindthescenesphotos5133 And his wife Neile.
@@garrison6863 And she's still alive as I'm writing this. 4/16/22. She'll be 90 on July 10th. That's pretty amazing.

Ah-ah! It was Lila's scream. Poor Marian was beyond screaming by then. 😋

But that's the purpose of all thrillers. to scare you. Otherwise it would be a drama.
