Join us for a special screening of Psycho with a pre-show talk led by Matt Wardell, Music Director of the Ocala Symphony Orchestra. Maestro Wardell will discuss the work of Academy Award nominated, Bernard Hermann in composing the original score for this classic horror film.

Released in 1960, Psycho is Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous thriller about a psychotic motel owner who obsesses over his late, controlling mother while becoming the prime suspect in a murder case involving one of his recent guests, a pretty secretary who checked into the Bates Motel after impulsively stealing $40,000 and never checked out.

This FREE film screening is made possible through a partnership with the College of Central Florida’s Ira Holmes International Film Series, which seeks to educate and inspire through films that are culturally, historically, and artistically important. The late CF Professor, Ira Holmes, is the founder of the series and an advocate for maintaining the Marion Theatre as a downtown destination for films.
