Director Robert V. Galluzzo went to Universal with the idea of them financing the documentary and including it in a new box set of all four Psycho films. However Universal wasn't interested in these ideas and the documentary became an independent project.
In April 2008, at the Fangoria horror convention, a Psycho reunion panel was held to promote the documentary. Many cast members attended including Hilton A. Green, Mick Garris, Tom Holland, Kurt Paul, Juliette Cummins, Katt Shea, Cynthia Garris, Chris Hendrie and more. This was also promoted at San Diego Comic Con 2010.
Richard Franklin was originally slated to be interviewed in this documentary, but unfortunately died before said interview could be filmed.
Two segments on the failed TV pilot Bates Motel (1987) and the remake Psycho (1998) were originally supposed to be on the two disc set of the documentary but for unknown reasons were left off when the DVD was released.
