Psych-Out is a counterculture-era feature film about hippies and psychedelic music produced and released by American International Pictures.

Arkoff came up with the ultimate title based on a recent successful reissue of Psycho.
The majority of the songs in the movie and on the original soundtrack album were performed by the Storybook. This credit is never mentioned on movie posters and articles. They were a local band from the San Fernando Valley.
