Psycho: Norman Bates is a troubled son who believes "a boy's best friend is his mother." Marion Crane is an ill-fated traveler who checks into the eerie Bates Motel wanting only a hot shower and a warm bed. Her journey ends sooner than she planned in the shocking scene that has haunted generations of movie-watchers. The tension and horror mount when a private detective and Marian's sister search for her, and the identity of the mysterious PsychoPsycho II: After twenty-two years in a mental asylum, Norman Bates is coming home. He's been declared sane and safe by his psychiatrist, but his victim's sister doesn't believe it.
Psycho III: Norman Bates is released from prison and returns home to the Bates Motel where he must face the murderously possessive skeleton in his closet.
Psycho IV: In this chilling prequel to the classic Hitchcock thrill, Norman Bates is drawn to a late night radio show, where he is encouraged to relive the haunting memories of his childhood with his widowed schizophrenic mother.
