Shorts
Mother A 12-minute black-and-white fan-film short that presents the story of Norman ten years after the events at the Bates Motel. Norman wakes up inside a mental asylum with no memory of how he got there and in order to get out, he must finally confront Mother. Writer/Director Chris Notarile explains: “I decided to set this story as a halfway point between the 1960 original film and the 1982 sequel. I love both films, but we never actually see how Norman gets healthy enough to be released from the insane asylum. So my goal was to specifically show that.” Mother |

Video Games Psycho Psycho is a computer graphic adventure game with a key-based verb interface that was produced for a number of platforms such as DOS and Commodore 64 (release 1988) as well as Atari ST (1989). The game was developed by Starsoft Development Laboratories. Premise: A set of jewels has been stolen. At the time of the theft, a curator was with the jewels, so he got stolen, too. And who's the suspect? Norman Bates. The next night, a daring detective drives out to the sinister Bates Motel. His plan: a) find the jewels, b) free the curator and c) take a nice hot shower, should time suffice. |
