This Amazing Animatronic ‘Psycho’ Prop is Coming Halloween 2017
She’s still perfectly preserved, after all these years.
Who could ever forget Alfred Hitchcock’s reveal in Psycho that Norman’s mother had been dead all along? Her loving son has set up her corpse in a rocking chair, and he’s even dressed her up in a gown and wig. That image of a mummified Norma Bates is one of most memorable in horror history… and this Halloween season, you can bring that iconic corpse into your own home!
The “Mother Animated Prop” is now up for grabs from Fright Props, and it’s a clear homage (officially licensed or not) to the aforementioned scene from Psycho. Powered by an electric motor and further brought to life with an included CD, Mother rocks the night away while making the horrifying sounds that only a long-dead corpse can make.
Mother slowly rocks back and forth as she contemplates your fate. This life-sized animated sitting prop has a foam-filled latex body with metal armature and heavy duty electric motor. She has a grey wig and long dress, with hand painted detailing on her face and hands.
Check out the “Rocking Mother” in action below!
Unfortunately, the rocking chair is not included with your $438 purchase.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
