The Psycho Legacy is a 2010 independent documentary film that examines the history of the Psycho film franchise and the continuing legacy of the original Psycho. It also pays a tribute to actor Anthony Perkins for his portrayal of character Norman Bates. It is written and directed by Robert Galluzzo. It includes interviews with the cast and crew who were involved in the productions of Psycho, Psycho II, Psycho III and Psycho IV: The Beginning. It also features interviews with current horror filmmakers who are fans of the Psycho series.
The documentary was in production for 3 years and was released on DVD on October 19, 2010 in the United States and Canada. In April 2012, it was announced on the documentary's official Facebook page that a full-length book based on the documentary is being written by director, writer and producer Robert V. Galluzzo.
The documentary was originally developed in late 2006. Robert Galluzzo stated "I got the idea for the documentary when the Psycho II and Psycho III DVDs were re-released back in 2005. I was disappointed with the fact that the DVDs contained no special features and that there was little information out there about the Psycho sequels, thus I decided to make the documentary." Galluzzo originally went to Universal Studios with the idea of the studio financing the documentary and releasing it in a box set along with Psycho, Psycho II, Psycho III and Psycho IV: The Beginning. But Universal wasn't interested in these ideas. However, the studio did allow Galluzzo to shoot footage on the Bates Motel and Psycho house sets on the backlot and use pictures and footage from all the films.
