'Psycho' props, replicas, busts...what's out there?

[Haywire]

I'd love to see some props from this film as well. One of my all time favourite movies.

Ok, so this thread kind of inspired me. I am a big Hitchcock fan and love all his movies.Psycho was the first one I ever saw with my mother (funny enough), So I thought I would take a stab at it (no pun intended), at making a prop. I got a screen cap of one of the letters in the movie and had some photoshop fun with it. This is the first time I've ever tried anything like this so go easy on me.

That's great! The only thing is that your letterhead uses contemporary typefaces (Trajan was designed in 1992 by Carol Twombly). It immediately pops out at me.

I have the front door from the Psycho Mansion. Mine is from the sound stage set which included the front porch and staircase since there is a dolly tracking shot thru the front door. The door is originally from Thurlow Lodge, an 1872 victorian mansion that was to torn down during WWII. Several big Hollywood Studios bought all the lumber and woodworking at auction since during the war you could not buy lumber for set building.
