PSYCHO

Lobby Card Set (8) (11" x 14")
Very Fine-
Paramount, 1960

This lot offers the entire lobby card set of 8 for the Hitchcock horror groundbreaker, Psycho. Included is the famous "house" card and all of the other scenes of the creepy classic based on the infamous Ed Gein case.

Overall, the cards in this set are very nice, with only a few minor issues. All cards have a staple mark on both the left and right borders. Card #2 has a slight diagonal crease in the upper left corner. Card #7 has a little moisture rippling in the upper edge, with a faint light border rippling on cards #1 and #8 as well. Plus fixing previous tape residue, faint stains and minor foxing both Card #1 and #3 have had some scattered sporadic airbrushing in the borders.

Alfred Hitchcock's psychological thriller effectively gave birth to the slasher genre while shocking audiences by killing off its biggest star, Janet Leigh, only 47 minutes into the film. Though controversial on release for its violence and sexual content, Psycho has since been recognized as a masterpiece.
