In this episode of Cult Film School, Adrian and Dion overstay their welcome in Fairvale to soak in the ambience of the three Psycho sequels: Richard Franklin’s Psycho II (1983), Anthony Perkin’s Psycho III (1986), & Mick Garris’s Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990). They discuss the different attempts at returning to the 1960 film, and the different ways the sequels remake and reimagine it. They also consider the many incarnations of Norman Bates while attempting to answer the question, ‘How many film references can one sequel have?’ Spoiler: Probably enough to fill a bathtub.   Chapters: 0:00:12 - Welcome to Cult Film School 0:03:00 - Personal Introductions to the Psycho Sequels 0:06:38 - Psycho II (1983): IMDb Plot Summary 0:07:38 - Contexts for Psycho II: The Hitchcock Five, Robert Bloch’s Sequel Novel, & Production History 0:14:45 - Psycho II: “This film has no right being as good as it is.” 0:24:21 - The Ambiguous Psychology of Norman Bates 0:32:34 - Violence in Psycho II 0:36:43 - Psycho II (1983): Tagline 0:37:59 - Psycho III (1986): IMDb Plot Summary 0:39:28 - The Visual Style of Psycho III: “Blood Simple by Michael Mann” X Giallo 0:43:10 - Jeff Fahey Appreciation Society (& Crotch Lamp Sex Scene) 0:48:06 - Hysteria of Psycho III 0:52:19 - Confusion with Psycho III 0:55:34 - Psycho III (1986): Tagline 0:57:07 - Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990): IMDb Plot Summary 1:01:59 - “The Rob Zombie Halloween of Psycho films” 1:03:04 - The Confusing Loose Ends of Psycho IV: The Beginning 1:08:16 - Psycho IV: The Beginning: What If Norman Bates was an Unreliable Narrator? 1:13:22 - Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990): Tagline 1:15:18 - Psycho Sequels Wrap-Up 1:18:14 - Next Episode Preview   Connect with Adrian & Dion: Letterboxd ~ CultFilmSchool Instagram ~ @cultfilmschool  Threads ~ @cultfilmschool X ~ @cultfilmschool Facebook  ~ Follow Us!
