“Psycho III” (サイコ3 ―怨霊の囁き―), Original Japanese B2 Movie Poster 1986, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA675

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1986 for the release of Psycho III, the third entry in the Bates Motel series. Directed by Anthony Perkins (who also stars again as Norman Bates), the film leans into stylised, darkly comic horror and has a strong cult reputation among franchise collectors. Co‑starring Diana Scarwid and Jeff Fahey, it’s a quintessential mid‑’80s slasher‑era sequel. The Japanese B2 is built around photographic key art with domestic typography; a specific poster artist credit is not printed on the sheet.

Poster design
A vivid, high‑impact “character” poster: Anthony Perkins dominates the frame in warm, intense lighting, reaching toward the viewer while dangling the Bates Motel keys. Behind him, the shadowy outline of the Bates house climbs into a blue night sky, adding instant Gothic dread. The Japanese title 「サイコ3」 is huge and glossy in red at the bottom, with the subtitle 「怨霊の囁き」 set beneath, and smaller Japanese copy running vertically at the sides—an eye‑catching blend of portrait photography and bold Japanese graphic design.
