Psycho (1960) Filming Locations

Nice how you exactly matched up the movie scenes with the current landscape.
Adds to the realism.
I always like the architecture and style of the Bates' home.

Amazing how good these shots are lined up. Great work.

Finding the exact locations on highways is tough! Really excellent work here.

63 years later and those rural shots in CA haven’t changed. 👍

I was traumatized by Hitchcock at an early age. For my 9th birthday in 1960 Mom took me and a school friend downtown Chicago for lunch and a movie. We saw Psycho and 13 Ghosts in 3D. I was so scared I wouldn't put on the 3D glasses so I couldn't see the ghosts! To this day that movie creeps me. Not so with Psycho which I have seen more times than I can count. Decades later I asked Mom "why would you take 9 year olds to see Psycho?" She shrugged "it was Hitchcock, who knew?" Really enjoyed this. Well researched and matched up perfectly.

I want to congratulate you for comparing from 1960 to 2023. Well done! Show us more please!

I´m sure Alfred Hitchcock approves this video! Good job!

I CANNOT BELIEVE how the shots of the hills line up!!! Fantastic video showing everyone else how it should be done.

WHERE do you even begin to find the lone telephone pole in the middle of nowhere during that traffic cop scene??? VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE! Thank you so much for this. It was PHENOMENAL!!!

The music build up at 1:53 matching the intensity of the scene, plus the music cue on the next transition was flawless, bravo.

This was absolutely extraordinary! Thank you!

[chrisarmstrong]

Was just Increadable how accurate this production was, the results were outstanding!!!! Very well done!!!

Very nice job! Good work! The craft was so perfected by then. The "camera through the window" jump cut at the beginning was so seamless. It reminds me of the scene in "The Birds" where "Melanie Daniels" (Tippi Hedren) walks into "Davidson's Pet Shop" (Hitchcock does his cameo here, walking out with two leashed Scottish terriers.) The camera follows her as she crosses Powell Street and proceeds on the sidewalk. They use a lamp post in the frame to do a jump cut to the sound stage set containing the store front. Absolutely masterful.

Wow, the work you put into this is amazing! Great job!

[rknine]

Excellent work! This must put a lot of work into it. Also, at 3:46, to the left hand side, the ridges of the mountains are exactly the same as the 1960 version.

[brianjones]

Great job on this. One of my favorite movies.

[craigharmon]

I want to add my thanks, along with everyone else. This is an amazing piece of work.

This is the very best ‘then and now’ movie location video I have ever seen. It is simply excellent in every respect. The detail and research is flawless. Please please can we have more. I cannot praise it enough. Thank you to everyone involved in its production.
