Thank you very much for this great website! I love visits to movie locations!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure and I'm glad you liked it, Michael.
DeleteThis is the best movie location site I've seen. The music from the movies gives me goosebumps! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. I really appreciate it!
DeleteGreat site! Thanks for putting it together.
ReplyDeleteNo problem Jim, thank you!
DeleteThey were running this picture again today, and I dropped by to see the locations. Does the color picture of the Bates Motel indicate that the structure(s) are still there for tours or something?
ReplyDeleteLate answer, but just in case anyone else is curious: the Bates house and motel are both still standing and part of the Universal Studios Hollywood Backlot Tour.
DeleteNo matter how many times I see this film it scares the hell out of me. Been watching it since the early 1960's and still think it is Hitch's best movie. I love all his films though, he was a genius. Janet Leigh was so good too. I love the then and now pictures. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where Marion falls asleep on the side of the highway is located.
ReplyDeleteHi Johnny from Jersey here. Where Marion stops her car, falls asleep, and is awakened by the policeman, is given on other sites on " Gorman Post Road, in Gorman, CA." Most of which is now along side the I - 5 freeway. By the map, Gorman appears to be the northernmost toen in Los Angeles county.
ReplyDeleteThe bait house was used in so many other movies and shows besides psycho I mean I can remember seeing it used before the Psycho movie was made in an old western in the late 50s. I seen it on the show emergency in the 70s. That house is Testament to horror fans and genre all over the world
ReplyDeletemany thanks for this great job... very nice...
ReplyDeleteWow! Great work! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the shot of the opening? The one where it looks like you’re on top of another building?
ReplyDeleteI used my drone for that shot.
