Based on the best-selling book by Robert Bloch, based on a series of gruesome, real-life murders in Plainfield, Wisconsin, this is the story of Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), who just loves his mother to death. In a clever move by Hitch, he bought the rights from Bloch for $9,000 and then attempted to buy up as many copies of the book as possible in order to keep the ending a secret.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, John McIntire, Simon Oakland, Vaughn Taylor, Frank Albertson, Lurene Tuttle, Patricia Hitchcock, John Anderson, Mort Mills, Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Killmond, and Ted Knight.

Originally designed for Robert Bloch’s 1959 novel, the typography was purchased for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film campaign and appeared throughout its advertising. Palladino’s unsettling design also influenced Saul Bass’s celebrated opening-title sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Palladino’s Psycho lettering was deliberately crude, fractured and uneven. \u003cstrong\u003eThe letters appear torn apart and crudely reassembled, resembling a ransom note or a damaged personality struggling to hold itself together. \u003c\/strong\u003eThat visual instability perfectly reflected Norman Bates’s divided identity and the story’s themes of psychological breakdown, violence and concealed disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts power came from its simplicity: before audiences saw a knife, a motel or Norman Bates, the broken word itself communicated that something was terribly wrong. Hitchcock acquired the design for the film’s advertising, and its slashed, disjointed appearance later influenced Saul Bass’s animated opening titles, where lines repeatedly split and disrupt the names on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Cvtreasures stamp is NOT on original\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Posters For Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55315899678999,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/6781\/7239\/files\/Hitchcock-Psycho-lobby-1.jpg?v=1790200426","url":"https:\/\/www.cvtreasures.com\/products\/psycho-original-vintage-historical-lobby-card-movie-poster-alfred-hitchcock-1960-1","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
