Actual set from the classic movie psycho!!! So beautiful up close you all must see it for yourself! Please leave a like on the video and subscribe to my channel for more videos!!
@@brianc1889 I like the 2 and 3 movie too, especially the soundtracks and the overall atmosphere of these movies are awesome. One of my favorite scenes is when norman walks up the stairs after seeing his mother in one of the windows while painting hs motel in Psycho 2. But the first movie of course is a legend
I wish i had that job playing Norman Bates. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week just placing a body in a car trunk, then walking toward tourists with a demented smile....over & over again.
I worked for the security department at Universal for 4 years. I was the only security officer who would venture up to the Psycho House at 2:00 in the morning (especially when it was raining). Fun times!
@@brianc1889 Yes, it has an interior. Sort of. It's a bit like a two-car garage -- a lot of wood and open space. Keep in mind, the house itself is quite small, so it's not like you can go explore anything. (When they did the "Psycho" remake (awful) in 1998, I was on all the sets. I paid a visit to the house interior late one night and walked up those creepy dark stairs with my flashlight. I kept expecting Norman Bates to pop out and shove a knife into me!) When I would do my nightly patrols, I caught more than my share of trespassers sneaking up to that old house. Can't say I blamed 'em too much. It's a fun backlot!
@@jimvinespresents...8463 that is awesome! We were pass holders in 2016 or 2017 and became friendly w a wonderful woman who worked at the effects show. Her name is June. Sweet lady always remembered us and even got us a one on one visit w the actor playing michael myers for pictures and such. We also got to go on stage and be up close w the mother corpse and Linda myers tombstones
@@jimvinespresents...8463 Do you know where they filmed the interior of the house? All the rooms and the staircase, normas room , the kitchen , the bathroom etc? I always loved how the house looked like , both from inside and outside
@@brianc1889 I remember going through a sound studio, cant recall what they were filming.If you ever saw Its a Mad, Mad Mad Mad World, there was a scene in it where someone lands in the arms of Lincoln statue.that was there ,made out of foam.learn a few tricks of the trade.Big bolders..foam... I heard the Munsters house has changed, they used it in a TV show Desperate Housewives...Wisteria Lane.. things have changed since the 60's..lol.some good..some bad!!
@@Looffylabrioche according to everything I read online it is the house they've just built onto it and made it a full house it started as just the front and side I believe. Either way it's still amazing to see in person. Thanks for watching my video.
It was 10+ years ago now, but was lucky to do the VIP tour but can confirm we weren't able to stop at the Psycho house, due to filming going on at the time. It seems like the only time you can stop off is at special events like the recent 60th anniversary of the studio tour and the Halloween Horror Nights
The "house" was purposely built small to make it seem further away than it really was. I went on this same tour way before this tour with Norman coming out. It was vacant at the time but it seemed scarier because all you heard was the quietness/nothing on a bright, spring day. At first Hitch did not want any music or sound during the stabbing scene, but his wife suggested, since the composer did such beautiful music as in Rex Harrison's Ghost and Mrs. Muir that he would do a great job on this movie score and he certainly did. It was perfect and he won an award for that.
Nice try, but this is the third version and second copy of the set from Psycho. The original Bates Motel was actually demolished by the late 60's and at least 2 other versions have been built in 2 other locations. Go figure! The original Psycho house was disassembled, moved and rebuilt in it's 2nd location in 1980. The third version, in this video, is the most compromised, with sets from other movies surrounding it, marring it's original visual grandeur, with an asphalt road built right in front of the "Psycho house' for the tour bus. Universal grossly underestimated the value and historical significance of that iconic classic set. I have to be honest, as someone who first heard about Psycho when it first came out when I was 6, then went to see it about 7 years later and became a Hitchcock fan/movie history buff for over 50 years now. I was at least able to get a much better secret private tour of the 2nd version in 1987; a lot closer to the original set and still an exciting experience.
Thanks for breaking it to me softly. lol But from what I've read it's the original house just has been moved and restored by adding a back section or something. So agree to disagree there. Thanks for stopping by
@@brianc1889 True, in that the basic frame of the Psycho house has been saved, with a num er of boards replaced since it's 60 years old by now. The third wall on the right side was actually added around 1963 and can be seen in the background of Western movie The Last Gunfighter(on TH-cam). The 4th wall, or back, was added much more recently in the third location. I know, I'm such a film history geek! Did you see my comment about the 1990 fire I just added here? I'm also a big fan of To Kill a Mockingbird, and regret not getting a secret private tour of that before it was burned down as I did of the Psycho set in 1987.
@@boborrahood I was surprised how many times it was repurposed for other films that were in their own right big historical movies as well! Cool how it was so many things and ended back similar to its original form w some add ons at mother's request of course lol
@@brianc1889 Then you probably know that the tower of the Psycho house was originally from the movie Harvey with James Stewart. Either copied, or cannibalized for the Psycho house. The house from Harvey was on the same street, and next to the house from The Munsters. Now it bears no resemblance to it, I think since it was used for the street in TV's Desperate Housewives. Did you see my comment about To Kill a Mockingbird?
@@boborrahood yes I did. I believe I've only read the book and seen scenes from the movie here and there. I recall the tour mentioning a house was the munsters house or was where it once stood. It was now the desperate house wives inwanna say. And the leave it to beaver house was around there too but the tour guide only was talking about more current shows so people knew what she was talking about idk lol
@@pamelahsmithsmith2366 That's when I first went! And be glad to know that THAT was the ORIGINAL Psycho house, still in it's original location near Falls Lake (the swamp for the car sinking). As I say here in comment towards the top, I went back in 1987 for a secret private tour...
It is the set. However they have built it into more of a house than it started as. Meaning it was just the front and a side for the movie I think then over time added to it. But it is the actual house. I guess the hotel part was made for the TV show.
They used to have a guy a dressed up as “mother” run out of the house with a knife but then the woke trans crowd got their knickers in a knot and they stopped it.
Psycho from 1960 is one of my favorite horror movies!
Me too! Love the original! It looks even better now cleaned up on DVD or blue ray

Sounds cool but probably tiring af. Although that's every job
...Right before you place REAL bodies in the car trunk... 😱😂
I know. I have been doing that in my driveway for years, and nobody is paying me.
Wish in one hand, crap in the other. Which one fills faster. The only thing keeping you from your dreams is applying effort. Just do it.
Bruh I would love that job

Remembering seeing this and the Munsters house and McCales Navy while at Universal Studios during the summer of 1966.
Wow that sounds awesome! Did you see any cast members or signs of filming? That's very cool!
And I'm sure lots has changed from then. Was there anything then you miss and wish they'd kept?

Bates motel is one of the best series I’ve ever watched
It looks pretty good. I have only seen that actor in the good doctor
Ya i really enjoyed too😊
cant believe you get to be that close to the house
Sorry to disapoint you but its not the real one
@@Looffylabrioche from what I read online and saw in person it is the house. Wheres the one your referring to?

There should be tours of the whole area, motel and house included, that would be absolutely awesome

What tv show? The motel has been there for along time as well. I remember seeing it since the early 90s and I’m sure it’s been there before that
Norman, have you put that goddamn cat out.

That is very cool. 👍
@@davidtaylor9219 haha yeah freaky house but inside is not like in film

That would have been fun! Dang people always complain and ruin the cool stuff.
