Psycho Series Episode 5

A boy’s best friend is his mother. Who else can a boy dote on, and make her tea with that touch of vanilla she likes so much? Who else can engage in tickle fights and caress and dab with orange flower water? Who else will make the boy wear a dress and wig as punishment? You mean that isn’t the relationship you have with your mother? Well it is the relationship explained between Norman Bates and his mother in Psycho IV: The Beginning. Both a sequel and a prequel to the original Psycho trilogy, this film features Norman Bates in his final portrayal of the famous film serial killer, and it’s this week’s Now Playing Gold Level Donation review!

Overview
Norman Bates is again released from the mental hospital he was placed in at the end of Psycho III after serving another few years and is apparently rehabiliated for the second time. Norman is now married to a young nurse named Connie and is expecting a child. However, Norman fears that the child will inherit his mental illness. Meanwhile, Fran Ambrose is a radio talk show host who is discussing the topic of matricide with guest Dr. Richmond, Norman's former psychologist. The radio station receives a call from Norman, who uses the alias "Ed" to tell his story.
