Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense masterpiece Psycho will feature 5.1 surround sound for the first time ever when it is released on Blu-ray Disc this October.
The release will mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most famous films of all time. Psycho redefined the movie-making landscape and was responsible for introducing audiences to Norman Bates, one of the silver screen’s most notorious psychopaths. To create the new DTS 5.1 sound mix, Universal split the original mono source into several tracks and also sourced the original sound effects. By combining these into a five channel mix, viewers can enjoy a contemporary sound experience that remains true to Hitchcock’s vision. The picture has also been meticulously restored and remastered to present the best ever version of the film.
Bonus content on the disc will include behind-the-scenes bonus features, documentaries, audio interviews and an in-depth look at the re-mastering process.
