Vintage Film Movie Poster
A new and altogether different screen excitement !!!
Alfred Hitchcock's
PSYCHO
This is a reproduction of a classic theatrical movie poster for Alfred Hitchcock's iconic 1960 psychological horror film, Psycho.
Key Information
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Screenplay by: Joseph Stefano, based on the 1959 novel by Robert Bloch
Starring: Anthony Perkins (as Norman Bates), Janet Leigh (as Marion Crane), Vera Miles, John Gavin, John McIntire and Martin Balsam
Release Date: June 16, 1960 (New York City)
Significance: The film is renowned for its shocking plot twist, influential "shower scene", and a haunting all-string musical score by Bernard Herrmann. It is considered a foundational work of the slasher film genre and one of the most famous and studied films in cinema history.
Poster Artwork: The poster, by Spanish artist Macario Gómez Quibus, uses stark imagery and bold, fragmented typography to encapsulate suspense and Norman Bates' duality. The central image of a screaming Janet Leigh in a yellow slip is highlighted against a dark background, with smaller cameos of Anthony Perkins and John Gavin in red, suggesting a link to danger or murder. Most iconically, the large yellow title "PSYCHO" at the bottom appears as though it has been slashed through with a knife, adding a visceral, menacing atmosphere that reflects the film's themes of a cracked psyche and violence.
