Psycho (1960) Theatrical Trailer - Alfred Hitchcock Movie 

A six-minute trailer and yet no footage from the actual film...genius.

I love how he's so detailed about the murder scenes, yet so vague and hesitant about the characters and their motivations... not only was Hitchcock the Master of Suspense, he also knew how to bait the audience with curiosity.

Feels more like a documentary of actual real events than a trailer for a movie.

The way how he says "The Bathroom...." It's funny out of context but the way he says it sends a chill down your spine. He is giving you an idea that something infamous happened there...

Well, Hitchcock really knows how to build suspense.

Can you imagine, steven speilberg walking around the set of jurassic park talking about the event that occurred.

This trailer is PERFECT. It shows so much, but nothing at all! It alludes to points in the movie that hitchcock is obviously disturbed by, so he doesn't go into detail and skips over it. This makes us really want to know what he was talking about. Or when he looked in the closet and made a shocked and disturbed face, but didn't describe or show us what was inside. When he tells us about the son's room, we really want to know what's in there, but he glosses over it. This trailer is a masterpiece.

"No one will be seated after the start of the movie" This rule should be applied universally now You either watch a movie from the start, or you dont watch it at all

Holy cow, can you imagine sitting in a theater in 1960, waiting for some innocuous film, and then see this? Hitchcock was a genius, it's almost hard to imagine movies and horror films prior to Psycho. Hard to imagine a more influential film.

I like how the music switches back and forth from charming to horror. It builds up uneasy tension. Clever.

*describes horrible brutal murder than stops due to it being to horrible* Happy music

This movie actually holds up really well.

I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old back in the early nineties. It's what made me want to be a writer and a filmmaker. Thank you, Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

The classic Hitchcock silhouette at 6:00

they should bring back these kinds of trailers

"The bahthrume"

Brilliantly conceived, written, and executed, and bar none, the best movie trailer in history. Even the trailer scares the heck out of you. Alfred Hitchcock was truly one of a kind.

Love the little hand movements at 4:53.

One of the greatest film trailers of all time. Saying everything and nothing at the same time.

Alfred Hitchcock was a genius !

Music just fabulous. The use of those searing violins - unforgettable.

One of the best films ever made,still holds up,to this day

Watched "Psycho" last night, or the 5 millionth time and Anthony Perkins's performance still mesmerizes me with its subtlety.

I love that Alfred Hitchcock just gives a RU-vid house tour of the Bates Motel

This trailer is more captivating and entertaining than most full-length films nowadays.

Jesus, the suspense. I knew what was coming when he looked towards the shower, but the scream made me shudder anyway. Pure terror. Amazing 😊

He is so extremely detailed in the way he describes things, giving you a lot of information while also being extremely vague and not giving away anything. I find it fascinating

This is singlehandedly the scariest but at the same time not scary trailer I have ever seen. Seriously, I've never seen Psycho but now I think I'm going to watch it.

So entertaining without even showing clips from the picture! The Master of Suspense!

So Critic hyped up the trailer for me, and I came here to watch the trailer. Now I want to see the movie. Good job Hitchcock!

That's one of the masters at work. That trailer makes me want to watch and I've seen it 1000x.

BEHOLD! THE GREATEST JUMP SCARE OF ALL TIME

why on earth has no one done this since? greatest trailer of all time imo

I would say it is the best and most realistic film trailer of all time. The genius aspect of this trailer is Hitchcock mentions nearly everything about the film in a subtle manner. But at the same time, people don't realize it until they watch the film. This film actually shows the reality of what is going on today. But many people still don't seem to realize it. That's what makes Psycho "one of the greatest films of all time."

Wow, he really hid almost everything but left us with so much to think about

God Bless Mr. Hitchcock for been with us for entertainment and joyful memories he gave us, god bless him!

This has got to be one of, if not my favorite, movie trailer. Its long but its like Hitchcock is trolling the audience like he is almost psychotic himself. He explains everything and nothing in this 6 minute trailer.

This is honestly the funniest trailer I've ever seen.

We need more trailers like this today 😂

"Psycho"(1960) is a masterpiece and the best psychological thriller movie of all time for sure!

This is the best trailer of all times... I wish they would advertise movies like this today...

You don't see movie trailers like this anymore- the way Hitchcock builds his audiences up for certain scenes, places, as well as characters, throughout this particular trailer, as well as some of his other ones, it gets them suspicious and anxious about what needed to be explained, before they actually see the movie. Like he always does, he doesn't give away too much, since he's always expecting his audiences to be either frightened, shocked, or even terrified, just by watching this movie and his others.

My ex girlfriend watches Bates Motel. I asked her if she's seen Psycho and guess what? She doesn't know what it is!

3:02 I think it's brilliant that he makes a big thing out of implying there's something disturbing in that wardrobe, but it never actually has any relevancy in the final film.

I just watched this movie for the first time and it's still a masterpiece.

A brilliant trailer because it keeps switching its tone between neighbourhood gossip and sinister suggestion. And the tension gently builds, and builds, nudged along, as usual, by Hermann's brilliant score. It's terrible, it's horrible, I just can't possibly .... wait to tell you about it! Oh, lovely bit at 3:30 :D

I hate movie trailers. directors can't seem to get trailers right. Hitchcock got it right with this one.

And there reason is... let's go to the next place. And this, is magnificent because.... oh I almost forgot... bathroom

What a masterpiece created by a legend. Nowadays movies are just quality print. Absolutely favorite movie and all its sequels too.

One of the greatest suspense movies of all time Period!!!!!

Lol, I remember watching this trailer as a kid, thinking that this was no horror movie. Boy, was I wrong on so many levels when I saw the ending. Not to mention, that scream still gives me chills, lol.

I love how he starts describing basically every important plot point but then just stops lol. Probably very effective in its time. You'd want to know what became of the "poor young man," what the importance of the picture was, and boy, that scream at the end is intense and very different from the rest of the trailer.

I want to watch the movie just for clarification on what actually happened, trailer did it's job!

I’ve listened to the shower scene music live done by an orchestra and let me tell it’s really scary! Those screaming strings. The whole movie was stringed instruments I believe. So effective.

he really is a fantastic story teller and speaker. you become hooked and glued to every word he says

Leave it to Hitchcock to give us everything and nothing at the same time. In a movie trailer no less.

A Trailer that DOES NOT show one clip of the film at all Today's movie trailer's could learn from this

I've seen the movie dozens of times, and this makes me want to watch it again!

a trailer that spoils the most anticipated scenes by the director himself XD

Modern Moviegoers: I hate how trailers spoil everything these days! Alfred Hitchcock: Please hold my wine.

I wish more actual films are made like this. not all this marvel cgi fanservice stuff

This is less a trailer for the movie and more of a trailer for Mr. Hitchcock's fabulous accent which is like a warm sweater and a glass of cognac on a cold day.

Just finished watching this classical masterpiece on my mobile and it's impossible to describe how much i have enjoyed this movie. now i just want to write one thought here that, i have been watching this movie's trailer since i was child.there was time i can stil remember in 2006 to 2009 when the trailer of this movie used to come sony pix where one bathing girl got killed and this movies was always used to schedule in late night. at that time i was just 11-12 years old. but after many year when i grown up and started watching hollywood movies then i came to know that this movie is one of the psychological suspence thriller movie ever made in hollywood so i wanted to watch this movice since 2018 but for some reasons i have not watched this movie till today. but today i got some free time and watched this spectacular movie which is absolutely splendid piece of writting and direction. 23/05/2022 Monday 12:54PM

I have watched psycho so many times and still gives me chills

Who else watched this for the first time and freaked out when this totally relaxed mastermind gave us a freaking jump scare?? Hitchock was a brilliant artist

“Right here is where he... No no no it’s too awful to describe.”

The suspense he builds up is so great i was just expecting someone to jump out from behind something or from a shadow as hitchcock went from room to room

Fun fact: The design for Disneyland in Paris's Phantom Manor was inspired by the Bates' house.

One of the best trailers I've ever seen. Hitchcocks takes you, teases you and invites you to watch his movie on a excelent way. The only thing I would want to get rid of, are the happy melody's.

Will be seeing this set for the 4th time when I go on my road trip to L.A. April 6th.

Nobody: Not a single soul: Alfred Hitchcock in 1960: 3:32 5:15

Wow. He really knew how to get you hooked. His voice is also kind of like ASMR and enjoyable to hear..The music is also nice and classy..

When the trailer is just as good as the movie itself...

The fact that he sounds psychotic in a way because of how he describes the Gruesome murders then says "let's move along" with happy music is what gets to you. And the ending jumpscare is what you didn't expect to end it with. He was a true genius of his time!

You can see how excited Mr. Hitchcock is! He just spoils the best scenes for us!

Now This is how you hype a movie.

The master of suspense .A genius at selling his movies to the public . He wanted to keep the mother part so secret that he started a rumor in the press before production began that he was looking to cast the role of Mrs Bates

Saw this once decades ago in 6th grade class. The "this picture has great significance because..." still stays with me

One of the best movie trailers! Hitchcock is so brilliant.

I never thought, i would see a 6 minute trailer....and love it...until this.

Clever Clever Clever

this is one of the best trailers for a film he gave so little detail and a lot of details he showed no clips from the actual film and i just ... wow

A unique approach to advertising a film and only Mr. Hitchcock could make it work!

Collative learning brought me here. Amazing trailer

Music just fabulous. Unforgettable.

3:11 Dat subtle shiver

This is one of the most brilliant trailers for a movie there ever was

He is wonderfully natural in front of a camera. I’ve watched Hitchcock in interviews but delivering scripted lines, he can be a delightful, English gentleman who slowly turns very sinister. Was Hitchcock an actor early on in his career? His delivery of, “the bathroom”, was perfect. To think there was a time where no one knew what that (i.e. the shower scene) was in reference to.

This is still the best trailer for any film!

Interesting Fact: That's Vera Miles, not Janet Leigh, screaming in the shower at the end. Vera played Marion Crane's sister in the film. My favorite movie trailer of all time.

16 Jun 2020 - Happy 60th anniversary to the premiere of "Psycho"

6:04 The original screamer vid lol This is actually Vera Miles doubling in for Janet Leigh

I love how the trailer didn't spoil the entire movie like how tailers nowaday

6:03 I LOVE how they didn’t give away the twist, just beautifully teased it! 😂😂😂😂😂😂👊

Loved these very twilight zone style intro trailers

You see, this Trailer is not that 'Good' per say. Its not good at being a Trailer, but its good at doing the base purpose of Trailer. It makes you want to see the god damn film.

I could listen to him talk for hrs 😊

the bathroom .LOL

Man, I wish I was around back then!

I love it what he says at 3:51! Then he stops and continues looking around the place, lol.
