The Strangest Trailers of Pop Culture History: The PSYCHO Trailer

This Nerdist article discusses the unconventional and memorable trailer for Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic, Psycho. Unlike typical trailers that showcase key plot points and dramatic scenes, the Psycho trailer featured Hitchcock himself giving a guided tour of the Bates Motel and the infamous house, all while subtly building suspense and hinting at the film's dark secrets. Instead of using footage from the film, the trailer relied on Hitchcock's personality and clever misdirection, ultimately heightening the audience's anticipation and contributing to the movie's shocking impact. The article highlights how this unique approach stands out as one of the strangest yet most effective trailers in pop culture history, showcasing Hitchcock's masterful manipulation of audience expectations.
