Psycho on Bluray today!
Extras include:
- The Making of ‘Psycho’ (SD; 1:34:12) is an incredibly excellent feature length documentary on virtually every aspect of the film’s production;
- ‘Psycho’ Sound (HD; 9:58) is an interesting look at the new technologies employed to isolate discrete elements of a mono sound stem to create a 5.1 experience;
- In the Master’s Shadow: Hitchcock’s Legacy (SD; 25:58) offers some interesting comparisons of Hitchcock sequences with those in other films, and includes a wealth of interviews with directors like Martin Scorsese and John Carpenter who have been influenced by Hitch;
- Hitchcock/Truffaut (Audio; 15:20), an interesting Psycho-centric snippet from their 1962 interview sessions;
- Newsreel Footage: The Release of ‘Psycho’ (SD; 7:45) is somewhat misleadingly titled, as this is really a “pressbook on film” for exhibitors, describing the “no admittance after the film starts” policy that made Psycho’s original roadshow exhibition such a sensation;
- The Shower Scene (SD; 2:30), offers the iconic sequence with and without Herrmann’s riveting score;
- The Shower Scene: Storyboards by Saul Bass (SD; 4:10), an interesting compendium of Bass sketches which helped Hitchcock to plan his setups for the sequence;
- ‘Psycho’ Archives (SD; 7:48), a collection of publicity still;
- Posters and ‘Psycho’ Ads (SD; 3:00), including some international versions;
- Lobby Cards (SD; 1:30)
