THE BATES MOTEL NEVER GOES OUT OF BUSINESS


Fascination with Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film “Psycho” never seems to end and after numerous remakes and documentaries on the horror-fest, we now have a TV series. A&E promises their new 10 episode series, “Bates Motel,” is a prequel to the movie and will examine sensitive young Norman Bates (he’s in high school) and his twisted relationship with his mother.
