In 1964, Universal Studios opened its patented Studio Tram Tour. The right side of the house was then added and the set was unceremoniously dubbed "The Psycho House". The house and even the motel went on to appear in several shows such as "Night Gallery", "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" and even in films such as "Invitation to a Gunfighter" and "Modern Problems". The motel was torn down in 1979 and the house was moved to an alternate location on the backlot to accommodate the new tour. In 1982, Richard Franklin and Hilton A. Green announced plans to film "Psycho II". The house was then moved to a location that best matched the original hill and only about 40 feet of the motel was actually re-built. The rest of the motel in the film was a matte painting. TV shows during the '80s promoted the Universal Tour and prominently featured the Psycho House including "Amazing Stories", "Knight Rider" and "Diff'rent Strokes".
