Where are they now? MRS. BATES

Apparently this prop survived and is residing in a film museum in France.

It seems to have aged rather nicely!

If someone would make a prop replica of this that looked EXACTLY like this (and not some artists interpretation---I would buy it no matter what. Psycho is a perfect movie. I saw it in 1985 when I was 15. I saw NOES that same year. Oddly--Psycho scared me more....and still does.

Wow, sweetness. If anyone indeed has that or anything like that in their collection I hate you.

That STILL looks freaking awesome!

I find that to be true of most B&Ws. Night of the Living Dead is another perfect example. The 1990 remake is a great horror movie and the zombies are incredible, but there's just something much more terrifying about the atmosphere of the original.

I wish I could have seen it in theaters. In fact, I literally just missed it. Rave Cinemas just showed it one night only last Thursday in a theater that's about an hour and a half drive away. I didn't find out about it until the day after!

I wont make the same mistake twice... they're playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre next Thursday night!

Man, I'd love a 1:1 replica of that!

Earlier this year, I picked up the Blu-ray and HIGHLY recommend it to Psycho fans.

I'm cool with the Anniversary Edition DVD.

I have that one, too!

I'm just not sold on the oldschool black and whites on BluRay yet.

You know how I feel.lecture). Maybe someone will read this thread and get a replica prop made. Or just plain more Psycho swag in general.

I did learn recently that the Franklin Mint made a small statue. Its on my hunt list now.
