 Welcome to another episode of frightfully forgotten horror movies, but before we get started. What are we drinking today? We're drinking Hamilton house ecto log Today we're gonna be doing something a little different we're gonna tackle a whole bunch of movies all at once the psycho sequels We're gonna start with psycho too directed by Richard Franklin. He directed road games You can see the hitchcock connection there already Dennis franz is in this and he was an NYPD blue She cried and she died He's in the Simpsons as well time to get me some sweet This is 22 years later now and Norman is getting released deemed same Exactly. There's a lot of people in the courtroom protesting this he first goes back to his old life Basically to the motel and to his house Dennis franz's character. Mr. Toomey He's running the hotel and he's kind of turned it into like a fucking brothel You're fired. I want you out by tomorrow. What about all those families? Part of the conditions for his release is that he's got to get a job here We get introduced to Meg Tilley's character Mary She starts to have like kind of boyfriend problem So Norman says well you can come stay at the house looking at the orders because it's kind of like the line cook and Gets a letter that's from his mom. Mr. Toomey shows up. How was he in bed? There's like a little altercation he gets kind of tense and he starts getting like phone calls from his mother Which is strange. Yeah, because she's dead people are being killed off now The police are getting involved big question of whether Norman was cured in the first place from his insanity Whether he's going insane again or whether he is actually maybe being framed by somebody That's one of the greatest hallmarks of this movie is the misdirection. It's more of a murder mystery It's a very smart continuation of the first movie. It's not a cookie-cutter cycle one again a lot of issues Like insanity someone actually ever cured of that a lot of moral issues Yeah, how to treat somebody when they've been released back in the society do they deserve to be treated like garbage? Should you let them live their own life or should they be released at all? Yeah, right? It deals with all that kind of stuff is Norman the crazy one here Or is he the sanest person in the whole movie? Yeah, and everyone else is a little nuts because just him being in the town has made people kind of go Yeah, little nuts. Yeah, the ending of this movie is a great payoff, too Like everything comes together right huge twist at the end Which brings us to part three done in 1986 this one is directed by Anthony Perkins himself which is kind of neat because he was skeptical of doing the second one kind of convinced And he read the script and it's like okay script is good. I'll do it now He's directing the third one right. Yeah kind of neat stars Jeff Fahey and he was in lots of stuff But we want to mention lawnmower man It doesn't even start off with the Norman Bates storyline and that is with this nun and her name is Maureen And she's in this monastery questioning her faith a little bit and she's up in this tower with this other nun Who actually ends up falling she kind of hits the bell on the way All this kind of makes her lose faith runs away from the monastery She's picked up by this kind of scuzzy musician guy who goes by the name Duke He all the Duke. Yeah, hey number one Comes on pretty strong Maureen. She gets so freaked out where she actually runs out of the car in the storm Well, you're kind of been coming instead of going Ends up actually at the Bates motel now Bates motel is looking for a new manager Well, because we all know from the second one. Mr. Toomey is no longer alive And now we've met Norman. He's stuffed himself a new mother Fucking yeah creepy on a such a different level Maureen it actually ends up now at the Bates motel too She's walked all this way just on foot Norman sees her and is kind of taken by her a bit it opens up the shower curtain and you think he's gonna kill her and Complete twist. She's laying there in the tub with her wrist slit Norman actually saves her he takes her to the hospital Norman and Maureen actually kind of start to fall in love The police are Investigating the old woman who's missing from the second movie football after-party that happens at the hotel And he ends up killing one of the girls pretty cool too. I might add she's on the toilet Slits her throat he eventually has had enough with this manager of his And they kind of duke it out Duke Yeah, he throws an ashtray to his head and then he like hits him in the head with a lamb He drags him to the car and he starts to drive the car into the creek, but he's still not dead He wakes up and so he takes him into the front seat and puts his leg on his neck Yeah, and he drives the car right in and Maureen is starting to get a little more worried about him too He's starting to close himself off a lot more and he's starting to spend a lot more time in his mother's room All this stuff and the cops Culminate into everything sort of closing in around him. That's where we're gonna end it You want to see what happens with Norman and with all the characters that are surrounding his new life? Keep watching so cycle three another great sequel in this psycho series. Yeah, the characters are really good Yeah, they're very colorful. Yeah, very colorful and fine that scene with Duke. He's all naked with those lambs He's all serious If you wanted to see Norman kind of get back into things yeah into the old swing of things This is the movie to do it another cool thing about the characters too is all of them in their own way are Almost just as nuts as Norman Bates is it takes place like I think pretty much right after the second movie Yeah, and a lot of these same actors are even in it But a different atmosphere than the second it's got more of like an 80s slasher atmosphere without falling in that Cookie cutter Template yeah, and it doesn't get jokey. Yeah, the atmosphere is fantastic a lot of actually legitimately creepy moments in the movie Yeah, so if you're looking for a good continuation to the story, it's great. It's perfect cycle for Came out in 1990 and it was actually a made-for-tv movie. Yeah directed by Mick Garris He did the made-for-tv version of the stand and the made-for-tv remake of the shining or in forest Is in this and he was Susan's dad and Seinfeld. They're all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them That's perverse Olivia Hussie is in this who see who see Hussie Hussie She was in black Christmas and she's in the made-for-tv Version of it cycle for is completely different than every other cycle movie that came before it It starts off with a talk show radio talk show Everyone's all smoking. Yeah, super smoke like typical like before you banned smoking inside the whole place is full of smoke They're talking about Matricide Norman Bates decides to call in and give his little story and opinion on Matricide They don't know that he is Norman Bates. He hasn't said who he is So Norman starts to talk about his past and we learn pretty much what turned him into a killer the death of his dad We don't know how it happened whether it was on purpose by accident at his dad's funeral Sitting there all sad next to his mom Mom looks kind of sad I guess and she starts tickling Norman and he starts laughing and then she proceeds to get mad at him for it There's a lot of the same Contradictory stuff that his mother does to him. She also as a punishment dresses him as a woman too, right? She'll tell Norman that you know girls are bad girls are diseased Sex is no good and all that stuff yet. She'll be bringing men home Oh, this kind of culminates into like his first kill goes to strangler and everything and Puts her in the trunk of the car thinking that she's dead and she's actually not dead Throws her back in and like drive the car into the creed still here the trunk banging right and so he didn't even finish the job Properly she ends up having a guy coming and living with her tries to make Norman I guess into a man punches him in the stomach and sort of demeans him right humiliates Yeah, humiliates him makes him into their personal slave almost bringing them ice tea and all this Just having sex he does end up getting back at his mother and that fucking sleazy ass boyfriend Putting poison in their iced tea ends up stuffing her it comes back to this main talk show thing with Norman Telling the story. He's gonna kill somebody in the present. Yeah soon now Should they try and stop Norman should they find out where he's living? Yeah, to try and stop him call the cops keep him talking. Yeah, if you want to see what happens keep watching Segal 4 It's actually a really cool ending. Yeah, it is very original on its own Yeah, right there aren't any other movies really like this a sequel and a prequel at the same time That's right, and it does both justice the format's really cool to the talk show format the flashbacks Aren't even in chronological order, which I think is neat. It makes Norman into a real person You also sympathize with him too, right and a lot of times you you're not supposed to you shouldn't yeah But you do because you see what he went through and what made him into this yeah killer I really love Anthony Perkins puts it all on the line and the young Norman He plays a good innocent kid, you know that's still being molded. Olivia. Houssi is really good. Houssi? Houssi? She's really great in this you like you kind of feel sorry for her because you know she's nuts Yeah, but at the same time like you are a bitch. Yeah, one of the better beginning Prequel type horror movies I think so there you go. There is the psycho sequels two three and four I can't think of any other real horror Franchise where all the sequels are pretty damn good and they're all Completely different from each other and they all do the character justice to you right to a tee all Intelligent movies they all keep you captivated to right you want to keep watching I might be going out on the limb saying this but I think they're probably the best Sequels two three and four in a row. I think they're the best good. They're probably the best all back to back Yeah, you can't really beat him and it ends at part four where it should yeah, exactly doesn't keep going Turning him into some Thank you Anthony Perkins for dying for that if you haven't seen him, please watch him until next time keep drinking
