Help Save the Original ‘Psycho’ House, Bates Motel!

Published

With the success of A&E’s “Bates Motel,” you’d think Universal Studios Hollywood would be pimping one of their star attractions – the original Bates Motel and Norman’s infamous house from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho.

Now, usually I don’t get behind petitions as I don’t believe they work, but there’s no reason that Universal Studios can’t point a finger and throw few bucks behind the restoration and preservation of said landmarks. Frankly, I think just the notion of them reading about the concept is enough to get them to do it – it’s not as if fans are asking for the world.

So, I’m hoping to use our power as the largest horror website on the Web to bring some attention to the cause, and have you guys sign this petition to tell Universal we want to save the Psycho sets for future generations!

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).

Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.

In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.
