Psycho Celebrates 50 Years on Blu-Ray

2010 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the original release of Psycho. Alfred Hitchcock's final film in black and white would be followed up by several sequels and now this feature will be available on Blu-Ray October 19th. Hitchcock's eye for psychological concepts like the Oedipus Complex and providing sensational material for a conservative time made Psycho an almost instant classic. Those with an interest in this iconic film can have an early look at the Blu-Ray's many extras below.

The synopsis for Psycho here:

"Alfred Hitchock's landmark masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, whose old dark house and adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one knows that better than Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), the ill-fated traveler whose journey ends in the notorious "shower scene." First a private detective, then Marion's sister (Ver Miles) searches for her, the horror and the suspense mount to a terrifying climax where the mysterious killer is finally revealed" (UHM).

Release Date: October 19th, 2010 (Blu-Ray).

Director: Alfred Hitchcock.

Writers: Joseph Stefano, and Robert Bloch.
