Spoiler alert

Can someone throw on a spoiler alert or remove the endings of the sequels? Sideburnstate 16:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Gein

According to the Ed Gein page, the author of the novel that Psycho is based on claims that Norman Bates was not based on Ed Gein. Can anyone investigate? --Shinyplasticbag 05:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from book about Unholy Trinity

I have the book in my hand, and the quote is this: "There was Norman, the little boy who needed his mother and hated anyone who came between him and her. Then, Norma, the mother, who could not be allowed to die. The third aspect might be called Normal - the adult Norman bates, who had to go through the daily routine of living, and conceal the existence of the other personalities from the world."

I didn't think the quote was necessary in the article though, so I left the original editor's paraphrase, but removed the aside that the quote might not be accurate.

Psycho IV

I made some changes to this section; he tries to kill his wife with the knife, and only sets the house on fire after he lets her go. The movie ends before she gives birth, with a hint that "Mother" is still present, just waiting to get out, so I cut out the line about him being free of her. (And burning down a house doesn't cure mental illness.) --VAcharon 19:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

triquel

"Triquel" is not yet a generally accepted English word. (A Google search, limited to English-language pages, finds only about 2000 hits, very few of which refer to "the third in a sequence".) I removed it. 207.31.229.4 17:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Schizophrenia

"The film implies that Bates' mother suffered from schizophrenia and passed the illness onto him."

Does it use that terminology? Schizophrenia is not a multiple personality disorder so it wouldn't be accurate
