Trivia:
In the shooting script an extended scene in the sheriff's office at the end of the movie reveals Mary survives the gunshot and "she'll pull through okay" but goes mad. moreGoofs:
Continuity: The kid's finger marks on the window in the fruit cellar as he's being attacked and when his girlfriend runs away are totally different. moreQuotes:
[Mary fishes out a blood-soaked towel from the toilet that overflows with blood]Mary: Jesus! How'd that get in there?
Norman Bates: After I killed that kid, I used that towel to clean up the mess, and then I stuffed it down there.
Mary: Norman, you coudn't have killed that kid. You were locked in the attic.
Norman Bates: It wasn't locked! You said so yourself.
Mary: Norman, stop talking nonsense! I'm telling you, you did not kill anyone.
Norman Bates: Then how do you explain all this blood?
[Mary does not reply]
Norman Bates: [shouts] WELL?
Mary: I can't. I mean... I don't know.

This is the most frightening movie I've ever seen. I was expecting it to be kind of funny in a bad horror movie way but it plays with your mind to such a masterful extent that every time I've seen it I've been shaky afterwards. Anthony Perkins does such a good job of playing the rehabilitated Norman Bates who for 2 hours you have to decide if what's going on is in his head or really going on. That puzzlement stays suspenseful for the entire film until the very involved ending. This is really a top notch psychological suspense/horror movie which is very underrated.
