SOUNDTRACK: The widow of the film's composer has entered into negotiations to sell the film score for £50,000
Psycho has one of the most iconic film scores in movie history and its grating, screeching strings have become the soundtrack of fear.
Now the film's original film score could be yours for £50,000.
Norma Herrmann, the widow of the film's composer Bernard Herrmann, has entered into negotiations with The University of California to sell the film score for £50,000.
Mrs Herrmann, who has lived in Brighton for the last 30 years, says that any sale would go towards producing a box set of her late husband's compositions so that his legacy could live on.
The psycho score was so effective in expressing fear, film censors tried to silence it.
