“Psycho II” (サイコ2), Original Japanese B2 Movie Poster 1983, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA674

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1983 for the release of Psycho II, the first sequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Directed by Richard Franklin and starring Anthony Perkins (with Vera Miles, Meg Tilly, Robert Loggia, and Dennis Franz), it’s a smart, tension‑driven ’80s continuation that’s become a genuine cult favourite among horror and thriller fans. The Japanese B2 uses international photographic key art with bold domestic typography/layout; an individual poster designer credit is not typically printed on these theatrical sheets.

Poster design
A classic, suspense‑heavy composition: the looming Bates house sits under a cold, stormy sky at the top, while the centre is dominated by a large oval window—Norman Bates framed behind the glass, palms pressed outward as if trapped. The Japanese title 「サイコ2」 explodes across the lower half in massive red characters, balanced by the smaller PSYCHO II logotype and compact Japanese release/cast text. The contrast between the calm architecture and the claustrophobic “window‑frame” portrait makes this one especially striking when framed.
