Psycho is and always will be my favorite horror film of all time. What makes me love it, is the ending when Norman stares at the camera and slowly turns that face into a smile. Its so twisted , and didn't involve any blood or guts, just truly cinematic art. The best !
joelampo 1 psycho is also remembered for the famous shower scene . where the lady is showering and then he plunges her with the knife and then you hear her scream .
MICHAEL AND JESSICA..... This video deserves an award. The information, scene lineup's and time that was taken is amazing. I lived in Arizona for 15 year's and didn't know I was walking those same streets where the movie was filmed. You both are awesome and would like to see your channel continue to grow in viewership and contributions.
I so totally echo Dan "The Breaking News Man". "Psycho" has been a fascination of mine since - believe it or not - the release of "Jaws". And that is because the audience reaction to "Jaws" was compared to that of "Psycho", so naturally it got me curious (I was 15 when "Jaws" was released). I must have been a Pioneer in the "Psycho" fascination category, cause in just a few years a sequel was announced (and Part II is very good btw), and a book on the making of the film would be released around 1989 I believe. I don't know whether to yell "Spoiler" - but one of the most fascinating things I learned about the making of the movie was this: It was well known that Perkins was in New York rehearsing for a play when the shower scene was filmed. It wasn't until just before the book was published that we learned that the person who doubled for Perkins........was a woman. Now why tell you all this? Because this video is proof to me there were STILL things to learn about the making of a movie that nobody associated with the film could ever have predicted 62 years ago. To them, this was just a small budget high-quality quickly-made film that they didn't think would make movie history. I think even the makers of the movie would have been blown away by the thought, research, and execution of this video. I don't know what else to say other than "OMG Michael and Jessica. Great Job!!!"
I'm a big scary movie watcher. Nothing scares me so far of movies. But when I was a teen and watched "Psycho" I had a hard time going in the shower as we had a shower curtain. I was happy when you could get glass doors. hehe....I super love all your video's. I'm trying to get thru them all and be caught up. Your video's are amazing!!! Love you guys!
I just finished watching the documentary The making of Psycho. Thanks so much for this presentation. You are always so spot on. I love the nostalgia. I'm actually happy the old hotel or building is still in Phoenix for the opening shot. I need to see that someday. 1959 and 1960 were so much more of a simpler time in America. Always relish it.
Alfred Hitchcock was born 13 years before Arizona became a state! While "Psycho" was released in 1960, most of the filming was done in 1959. This was a great video---you really did some investigating!
Ha, I've been on that tram tour back in the early 80s. The house was incredibly eerie. We were just out of high school and we were hitting all the hot spots,Universal studios,Hollywood sign, wax museum, Disneyland, Knottsberry Farm, everything. We even made it to Burbank and were in the audience for a game show "can't remember the name". We also went and made it to the tonight show. Greatest vacation ever. Thanks so much for your hard work making this video. Brings back great memories.😉
You are absolutely the best with these little wonderful video trips. You do your homework. Yes that Psycho house still gives me the creeps..when I was seven in 1964 I stayed up late with my mom who feel asleep about 11pm. I stayed up and started to watch a movie on my mom's portable TV. As I began to watch this harmless story about a nice lady a cop following her I was the king of late night kids staying up late award! Then came the shower scene. Wow nudity! My mom still deep in sleep. Then came the figure. Then the knife. The music. The horror. I hid under covers. Then the staircase scene. After weeks of nightmares my parents search the TV guide an were aghast! "Billy watch Psycho". It took me fifty years to watch it again with my 13 year old son who loved it!! Just thought I'd share it because you share so much with us. Thanks. Love you guys.
This is one Tennessean who absolutely loves the various shooting locations in and around the LA area. At 67, I become a kid in remembering the scenes such as we have experienced in this tour.
You are a GEM! A real GEM! I love your videos, channel and your other half! 🤣😎😎👍👍👍 I'm happy seeing your channel grow and grow and your narration is totally cool, relaxed and makes you sit down and watch. THEN, you force me, or you force all of us here, to go through your channel and watch all your other videos and BINGE 🤣🤣🤣🤣...p.s Great job, and do you ever get the comment, you resemble Jim Carrey? a young Jim Carrey? 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
At 4:08, you have the right building, the right floor, but clearly the wrong window. From left to right, it had to be either the 5th or 13th window. Here's why I say that: 1) At 3:43, you can briefly see in the bottom left corner that the shot doesn't start at the left edge of the building so there must be at least two windows off screen to the left. The first window being shown on that floor at 3:43 (two to the left of the zoomed in window) must either be the 3rd or 11th window. 2) That wall protrusion on the left side of the screen at 3:43 is narrow, as is the next protrusion directly to the left of the window the camera zooms in on. This means that if the actual window they zoomed in on was on the left side of the building, it can only be the 5th window. And if the actual window they zoomed in on was on the right side of the building, it can only be the 13th. 3) The overhang directly above the windows on that floor is straight except above windows 7 and 8, where it protrudes out along with the facing of the building. In the movie, the overhang is smooth to the right and left of the zoomed in window, ruling out the 9th window, which has the protruding overhang to the left above the 8th window. 4) Lastly, it can't be the 9th window as you claim because the protrusion (where the 7th and 8th windows are located) is wide. Not narrow like in the movie. Therefore, it can only be the 5th or 13th window. But which one of those two, we may never know for sure. Not sure if I explained this well because I'm not familiar with architectural terms. Great video though. Enjoyed it a lot.
Love this video about a classic film and one of my favorites. Love the period fashions, hairstyles, cars, architecture. And the eerie music adds a lot of mystery and suspense to the film.
Interesting Fact: Bernard Hermann was the composer who wrote the score for Psycho and what set him apart from his contemporaries in 1960, is that he demonstrated through the famous “Psycho Suite” that one didn’t need a complete orchestra (woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, etc) to create a score which was the common belief and practice. He relied on strings ONLY and it was very effective thus becoming one of the most famous film scores in history of cinema. Also Hitchcock’s wife often assisted her famous husband with some of the film editing. When they reviewed the shower scene with the close-up of Janet Leigh’s eye, she discovered that Leigh’s eye was following the camera slightly which would have ruined the illusion of her character being dead, so they had to re-shoot the scene being sure her eye remained perfectly still.
It was Herrmann's intention to "complement the black-and-white photography with a black-and-white score", according to his biographer Steven Smith. Reference: www.npr.org/2000/10/30/1113215/bernard-herrmanns-score-to-psycho Out of the 26 takes of the camera moving away from Janet Leigh's eye, they deemed only 1 to be usable; and in that one, they discovered after production she took a breath. In covering it they needed to cut away to the shower head. Reference: www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/interviews/psycho-shower-scene-alfred-hitchcock
This was FANTASTIC... the best video of it's kind I've yet seen. I particularly liked your use of B&W (oh, how I miss it), along with Bernard Herrmann's incredible, haunting score. Kudos! Btw, I had ALWAYS thought that those dry, empty hills in "Psycho" looked a lot like Gorman (which I learned from you that they were), that I would always pass by on my way to Frazier Park, a beautiful, pine tree-filled mountain area just north of there where John Schneider of "Dukes of Hazzard" now lives. I've never seen hills that like look like these, as barren as the moon.
Absolutely brilliant video! I was watching the classic film today and came upon the scene were she is asleep in the car and I thought I wonder where that i? after a search on google I found your video and you showed exactly what I wanted to see! Thanks !!!!
I just found it today and subscribed after watching like 4 videos. It's so much fun to watch these videos. Something we all wish we had the time to do.
"We all go a little mad sometimes". Such a great and iconic line. Fun fact: The original location of the Psycho house on the Universal backlot is where the Chicken Ranch (House of a 1000 Corpses) sits today. Just above the JAWS lake. Fantastic video, Michael!!!
Great call to do the video in black & white. It made the comparison between the timelines come to life. Always watching, enjoying your videos. Thanks for the hard work.
Great stuff! This channel sets the standard for movie locations! I also get that buzz when seeing unchanged areas used in films, especially when so much time has passed! I was in Rome in 2013 and made a point of checking out all the areas used in William Wyler's 'Roman Holiday' starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, 60 years earlier in 1953. Unsurprisingly, everything was exactly the same. As you say, it was crazy cool!
What fun! For my birthday in 1960 my Mom took me and a friend to downtown Chicago for lunch and a movie. We saw Psycho and Thirteen Ghosts in 3D. I've been traumatized ever since! Years later I asked Mom why she took us to see Psycho, she just shrugged and said, "It was Hitchcock, who knew?"
Literally my favorite director and one of my favorite movies of all time. Hitchcock was the innovator of modern horror. He did everything first. Thank YOU for these great videos. Iconic
Recently found you - your Birds & Psycho vlogs are THE BEST Film Location videos I have ever seen!! Your research and attention to details are amazing! Film clips, splicing & editing are better than the "professionals". Think what I enjoy most is your passion in narration & what you do! Love the classics - looking forward to your video on Vertigo.
I did a VIP tour at Universal Studios with my Mum in 2006, & we stopped off & walked around the Psycho part of the backlot tour, which was an amazing experience. I was also fortunate enough to have seen it as a kid without knowing any of the twists.
A lot of people don’t know this, but the place where the man stops in the middle of the cross walk and stares at the woman in the car was influence for Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction’s Marcellus Wallace stopping in the middle of the cross walk and staring at Butch when he was trying to get away after going back to get his father’s watch that his girlfriend mistakenly left in his apartment
I'm enjoying your video with Psycho film locations, too. Why are most of the buildings gone in Phoenix, Arizona that were once there in 1960? I've always loved everything Alfred Hitchcock. Psycho is a favorite film that I've watched so many times especially when I had it on VHS, and it aired on cable TV, and TV. I rented it this year, and still watched in awe.
Great piece of historical cinematic forensics (wow I’m smart :) - seriously I’m glad I stumbled on to your channel - about to take a look at The Birds - really appreciate the work - I figure it’s a real challenge to find films that are iconic AND have iconic locations, and then fund the projects. One more view might not be very helpful but I’m definitely a new fan!
As much as I love the Psycho movies, the show Bates Motel…. Omggg obsessed!!’ I have watched that TV show 10 times over each season lol gets better and better each time I watch that show! Dare I say better than the movie?!!! Eeekk not sure but another great video as usual from my favorite couple- PS the black and white touch was perfect 🖤🤍👌🏻
Omg love!!! Please please please do a Vertigo locations tour. That one is my fave of all of Hitchcock’s movies. So much so that I named my daughter Madeleine. I took her to the mission San Juan Bautista where a good chunk if action occurred when she was one.
So cool..I love Anthony Perkins & the Physcho movies are one of my faves ...thanks for showing the locations ..love your channel..love you both..stay safe...stay awesome 🥰☮️✌️
Totally BLOWN AWAY. Every time I saw this on TV as a kid the first sequence was missing. The movie started just as she drives away and sees he boss cross the street. EXCELLENT!
Bloomin’ marvellous video. Great picture quality and production values as always. I love the original Psycho but as somebody previously commented, there’s something extra special about Psycho II.
These are some awesome film locations. Very good work lining up the scenes. I love this movie. I still watch a couple of times a year. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Halloween!
Great job guys! I remember seeing another Psycho locations video many years ago, and I remember how heartbroken I was to find out the house was just a facade!!
A friend of mine went to California in the 80s and she took a pic for me as she knew it was my fave. She told me it was a facade back then, but I chose to remain in denial lol : )
I'm curious if the owners of the current dealership even knew they were a shooting location for "Psycho"? Your use of Hermann's brilliant score reminds us of just how essential his music is to Hitchcock's films. Your future visit to SF should be interesting for "Vertigo." Sooo many locations for that movie are still around. Great stuff!
I went to visit the apartment from Vertigo in SF. It has been completely remodeled and a high wall is around the property now. I heard the owners got tired of people taking photos.
I'm sure the dealership knows Plenty of videos online about locations for this movie.. In one of them, as they are showing the dealership, you can see lots of people in the background taking pictures also
@@stuartdunn4365 Right. I saw that last time I was in SF (2019). It's right after you take the tourists' drive down the curvy Lombard street. (on the left).
Fun stuff. I toured there during the mid eighties. Thanks for your research and presentation. Good to know young people keep the story alive. Film locations have provenance. Pass it on.
Great movie that's still creepy today, more than sixty years later! John Carpenter's Halloween series owes such a huge debt to this. Also, it was nice meeting you guys at the meetup at Halloween Depot last night. I was the guy with the Plan 9 T-shirt.
Another fantastic video, i can only imagine the amount of research that goes into finding these long forgotten filming locations, however they might be forgotten to most people but not to people like me, you and your subs who love all the old horror movies, I'm 56 now, and i never get bored with watching them over again. all those iconic scenes are still as fresh to me as they were when i first saw those movies. Keep doing what you're doing, you're making an old horror fan very happy👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
The "Psycho" house gives me the chills just looking at it.
Psycho is and always will be my favorite horror film of all time. What makes me love it, is the ending when Norman stares at the camera and slowly turns that face into a smile. Its so twisted , and didn't involve any blood or guts, just truly cinematic art. The best !
Spooky and scary scene. Best ever
joelampo 1 psycho is also remembered for the famous shower scene . where the lady is showering and then he plunges her with the knife and then you hear her scream .
Norman's face has a frame of skull cut into the film, subliminal.
there was blood when she was stabbed -maybe watch it again
Well made, no loud music, no speed talking, good video, able to concentrate and follow his story.
HELLO. WOW THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHOW US THE FAMOUS LOCATIONS. PSYCHO IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES. GREAT VIDEO. DONE VERY WELL.
I watched that movie at a drive in theater in the early 60’s. I loved it!
The shower scene still gives me chills.. great video guys 👍

One more view might not be very helpful but I’m definitely a new fan!
Great film, and attention to detail. Keep up the great work you both do.
As much as I love the Psycho movies, the show Bates Motel…. Omggg obsessed!!’ I have watched that TV show 10 times over each season lol gets better and better each time I watch that show! Dare I say better than the movie?!!! Eeekk not sure but another great video as usual from my favorite couple- PS the black and white touch was perfect 🖤🤍👌🏻
Never fail to impress with your movies. Thank you from Australia.
Loved watching this 👍 greeting from North Wales 🏴
You never cease to amaze. Thank you for all your hard work and delivering great content!
Great location guys classic film and nice touch with the black and white 👌 thanks for sharing 👍look forward to the next location
Well done…explaining the aura (it’s place in time and space) in Hitchcock’s art!
I love your videos. Freaking Awesome. I too love to see filming locations in how they looked then and now.
By far the absolute most remarkable, detailed, and well-explained film-location video ever produced. You excel at what you do!
Absolutely love your channel. If im honest its the only one ive subs and got notifications on, its just THAT good!!!
Thank you for all the effort you guys put in to make this fantastic video. As a decades-long "Psycho" geek, this was awesome to see!

Simply amazing. Bye from Italy 🇮🇹
Omg love!!! Please please please do a Vertigo locations tour. That one is my fave of all of Hitchcock’s movies. So much so that I named my daughter Madeleine. I took her to the mission San Juan Bautista where a good chunk if action occurred when she was one.
Great work man. Always interesting.
So cool..I love Anthony Perkins & the Physcho movies are one of my faves ...thanks for showing the locations ..love your channel..love you both..stay safe...stay awesome 🥰☮️✌️
Great job and can’t wait for the Vertigo episode 👍🏼😊
You guys are the very best at doing then and now shots and framing your work, both visually and with great info.
Okay Amy you too! Thanks for
Everything

Totally BLOWN AWAY. Every time I saw this on TV as a kid the first sequence was missing. The movie started just as she drives away and sees he boss cross the street. EXCELLENT!
Bloomin’ marvellous video. Great picture quality and production values as always. I love the original Psycho but as somebody previously commented, there’s something extra special about Psycho II.
There was a big chance they could have screwed it up, and they didn't! I also loved Psycho 2 : )
I loved Psycho 2 as well. Good call guys!!👍
I can relate to the movie better now since my first marriage . Good stuff dude and dudette . God Bless
Great job! Enjoyed seeing what you found
Great stufff many thanks ... Hitchcock was THE master of cinema and Herrmann was so gifted .
These are some awesome film locations. Very good work lining up the scenes. I love this movie. I still watch a couple of times a year. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Halloween!
Absolutely brilliant! Super enjoyed it! Top guy!
Great job guys! I remember seeing another Psycho locations video many years ago, and I remember how heartbroken I was to find out the house was just a facade!!
A friend of mine went to California in the 80s and she took a pic for me as she knew it was my fave. She told me it was a facade back then, but I chose to remain in denial lol : )
Has your heart mended?
Your just silly....SiLLy I tell ya!
@@mattmaly5085 Oh yes Im over it now. But those were dark years..

Another great video with all the best line ups from the past! Bad booty!👻🦇👻👻🦇👻🦇👻
I'm curious if the owners of the current dealership even knew they were a shooting location for "Psycho"? Your use of Hermann's brilliant score reminds us of just how essential his music is to Hitchcock's films. Your future visit to SF should be interesting for "Vertigo." Sooo many locations for that movie are still around. Great stuff!
I went to visit the apartment from Vertigo in SF. It has been completely remodeled and a high wall is around the property now. I heard the owners got tired of people taking photos.
I'm sure the dealership knows
Plenty of videos online about locations for this movie..
In one of them, as they are showing the dealership, you can see lots of people in the background taking pictures also
Musical scores of Hitchcock was brilliant. Nice observation.
@@stuartdunn4365 Right. I saw that last time I was in SF (2019). It's right after you take the tourists' drive down the curvy Lombard street. (on the left).
😁👍 thanx for ❤️
You make a real good Job. Greetings from Europe
Once again great work you two but one thing I thought was strange there was no traffic in Phoenix.
Fun stuff. I toured there during the mid eighties. Thanks for your research and presentation. Good to know young people keep the story alive. Film locations have provenance. Pass it on.
More great stuff. I'm catching up with the older vids, but immediately click when a new one drops.
Again a fantastic post!!!!!
Thank you for all your wonderful work!!!!😊😊
Great movie that's still creepy today, more than sixty years later! John Carpenter's Halloween series owes such a huge debt to this. Also, it was nice meeting you guys at the meetup at Halloween Depot last night. I was the guy with the Plan 9 T-shirt.
Just found your channel keep up the great work!
Another fantastic video, i can only imagine the amount of research that goes into finding these long forgotten filming locations, however they might be forgotten to most people but not to people like me, you and your subs who love all the old horror movies, I'm 56 now, and i never get bored with watching them over again. all those iconic scenes are still as fresh to me as they were when i first saw those movies. Keep doing what you're doing, you're making an old horror fan very happy👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
