91. Psycho 2

Family Horror Month is coming to a close, and for #SequelWeek we are heading back to the Bates Motel for 1983’s Psycho II — because apparently 22 years of psychiatric care is enough to send Norman Bates back home to the exact house where all his problems started. Seems reasonable. Norman has been declared sane, released back into society and is genuinely trying to get his life together. He gets job, meets STRAY WAITRESS, starts cleaning up the motel and is doing his absolute best to leave Mother — and all that murder shit — in the past. But almost immediately… Somebody is in the window. Notes from Mother start appearing. People are watching through walls. Bodies may or may not be dropping. And Norman’s CRASH OUT METER starts climbing. Meanwhile, #1 HATER is absolutely NOT buying this whole Norman Bates is cured now situation, DR. LOGE is desperately trying to keep his patient on the sane side of the street, DRUNK FRANZ is making the Bates Motel everybody’s problem, and CHURCH LADY is just…around. Nothing suspicious about that. In this one we get: Norman Bates trying surprisingly hard to act normal The return of one extremely justified hater A stray waitress making questionable housing decisions Some horny teens who clearly have never seen a horror movie A steadily escalating Norman Bates Crash Out Meter Enough twists to keep everybody looking suspicious And one hell of a reminder that playing stupid games will absolutely win you stupid prizes The biggest surprise? Psycho II has no business being this good. Instead of simply trying to recreate the original, it asks a much more interesting question: What happens when Norman Bates actually gets better…but nobody, including Norman, can tell if he’s losing his mind again? Time for you to fuck around and find out!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS MAINTAINED 🎙️ Ghost Ninja Raccoon — Family Horror Month: #SequelWeek #GhostNinjaRaccoon #Psycho2 #PsychoII #NormanBates #HorrorPodcast #HorrorMovies #HorrorComedy #80sHorror #ClassicHorror #HorrorSequels #SequelWeek #FamilyHorrorMonth #BatesMotel #AnthonyPerkins #HorrorFans #HorrorCommunity #MoviePodcast
