Carter Burwell, who has scored all but one of the Coen Brothers' films, worked on the music for Psycho III. It was his second movie, after Blood Simple, and one of the tracks was made into a music video that juxtaposed footage from the third film with footage from the first.

Danny's idea was to sample Bernard Herrmann's string stabs from the first Psycho and use them as a rhythm bed. This time Universal nixed the idea.” Elfman would later go on to rearrange Bernard Herrmann’s original score for Gus Van Sant’s 1998 shot-for-shot remake of Psycho.

7. Psycho III picks up just a couple of weeks after Psycho II. It co-stars Jeff Fahey, who plays Duane Duke, a sleazeball wannabe rock star who ends up working at the Bates Motel. There is a moment in this film where he tries to seduce a woman by slowly moving a lamp over his naked crotch that has always stuck with me.

Last Monday, with the premiere of A&E's Bates Motel, Norman Bates made his sixth screen appearance. (Not counting Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's original.)

In the droll intros and outros that James Allardice wrote for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, the director seems a natural showman who knew how to ingratiate himself with viewers by poking fun at his looks and tone.

5. 1986’s Psycho III was directed by Norman Bates himself — Anthony Perkins — who clearly felt that he needed to include as many nods to the original story (and to Hitchcock) as possible. The film opens with an homage to Vertigo — a nun stands at the top of a church bell tower, about to commit suicide.

In theaters there’s Hitchcock, on the making of the 1960 Psycho, which stars Anthony Hopkins and which Mary Pols has already reviewed for TIME.com. The other film is The Girl, with Toby Jones as Hitchcock; this HBO feature reimagines the director’s relationship with Hedren while filming The Birds in 1962.

Hitchcock, scripted by John J. McLaughlin from material in the Stephen Rebello book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, is the more indulgent bio-pic. The title (like Lincoln) suggests a synoptic view of its subject but is really one chapter in a complex life.

Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho was not even nominated for an Academy Award, and his collaboration with Hitchcock, so fertile in the 1950s, crashed on the unhappy shores of the '60s. Movie scores were turning to jazz, pop and rock music and striving to include a hit tune.
