More new Psycho photos at the Hitchcock Zone

I've taken to "grazing the Hitchocck zone" en route here, and I was surprised to find a couple of "new to the Board" photos there. What's amazing to me is how it seems that every time I think the absolute last remaining photo artifact from Psycho has been found, that the shots have been exhausted...one or two more show up.

The new shots:

ONE: Perkins watching the car sink in the swamp, but with him AND the sinking car in the same shot. Telltale: in the distance, a small shack that is never seen in the movie. Since I've read they got that car sinking in one take, I assume that Perkins was told to stand still as if IN the shot, so as not to ruin it in case the camera caught him, even though, in the movie, he is not in the same shot as the sinking car.

TWO: A shot of Hitchcock and Pat Hitchcock in chairs with the camera pointed at the Bates Motel (out of shot, in front of them somewhere.) Interesting here to see what's BEHIND Hitchcock..the Los Angeles foothills, a little bit of "Laramie" street. The fantasy of the isolated Bates Motel is rather broken, but not too much. There are other shots of this day (Hitchcock was filming Sam and Lila at the motel, outside) published earlier -- one in Hitchcock/Truffaut show Hitch, Pat, and Alma looking at a Variety with a "Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Presents" ad. But this one is new.

THREE: An exhibitor's press release with scripts for all of Hitchcock's pre-recorded tapes, to be played while people waited in line to see Psycho, in which Hitchcock apologizes for the folks not being let in while assuring them it is for their own good. Some egotistical fakery, a line like this: "Alfred Hitchcock says: here are the scripts for my recorded announcements. Of course, they are better when you hear my unmistakable voice reading them."

These little nostalgic treasures just keep popping up.
