This third sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller originally aired on cable television (Showtime) and looks into murderous Norman Bates' traumatic past in hopes of explaining his need to kill. Norman calls into a radio talkshow, the subject of which is matricide (mother-killing), and he begins to tell the tales of his victims and his domineering mother... after revealing that he's going to kill again. Radio hostess Fran Ambrose attempts to discover his true identity and prevent him from committing more murderous acts.
