One-night screening of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho on its 65th anniversary, marking Phoenix Psycho Day at the historic Orpheum Theatre.
Psycho is coming to the Orpheum Theatre on Tuesday, November 3, as part of the Classics at the Orpheum series. It's a one-night-only screening of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller, presented by Friends of the Orpheum Theatre and Downtown Phoenix Inc. The film stars Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and Vera Miles, and this particular print is a digitally remastered version, which is a rare chance to see it on a screen this big.
There's a local connection here that usually doesn't get much airtime: Psycho was shot partly in Phoenix. This screening marks Phoenix Psycho Day, a day that ties the movie's history to the city's own. It's also the film's 65th anniversary, so the timing works out. Bernard Herrmann's score is as chilling as it was when it first came out, and it's a good part of why the movie still works.
The Classics at the Orpheum series is an annual thing, and this screening is one of its entries. All proceeds from the night go back to the Orpheum itself, so the ticket price helps keep the theater going. It's a single showing, not a run, so if you want to see it, this is the night.
