Anthony Perkins and Psycho III (1986) screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue originally pitched an idea for Psycho IV that had Norman's house and motel getting turned into a tourist attraction for horror weekends. Norman then escapes from the mental institution with a mute patient and the actor who was set to play Norman Bates for the horror weekend quits and Norman comes home and gets hired to play himself. Pogue claims that it was meant to be a black comedy but Universal opposed the idea.
Director Mick Garris has called Anthony Perkins the most difficult actor he has ever worked with.
When filming the first murder scene, Henry Thomas got so involved in the stabbing that part of the knife went into his hand which caused some nerve damage. To this day, he still has a scar.
When Anthony Perkins saw the first screening of the film, he called it the best out of all the Psycho sequels.
The only one of the Psycho sequels to use Bernard Herrmann's original 'Psycho' theme music.
"[Norma starts to hit Norman] Young Norman Bates: What's the matter? What did I do? Norma Bates: Nothing, nothing, nothing! Young Norman Bates: Then why are you hitting me? Norma Bates: Who else can I hit? [gives him the newspaper] Norma Bates: There not going to build it where the highway is. No, because from there the world would still be able to see us. It's gonna be miles away. Nobody will even know we're here! Norma Bates: They're putting us out of business. What am I going to do? How will we live? You, you're just like my father. Never a drop of sympathy! Young Norman Bates: I'm sorry. Norma Bates: Sorry for what? What the hell good are you if you can't show a little sympathy? Young Norman Bates: Well, I don't know how. Norma Bates: No, you just know how to cause trouble. Because of you, my bladder's damaged. I can't hold water. That's why I'm always running to the toilet. Did you know that? Young Norman Bates: Yes, I know. Norma Bates: I was fine until I gave birth to you. You caused a lot of damage. I should have gotten rid of you the day I found out I was gonna have you. Not one thing you've ever said or done has made all I've gone through with you worthwhile! Not one blessed thing! I should have killed you in my womb! You sure as hell tried to kill me getting out of it!"
"Mother: Get that whore out of my house! Young Norman Bates: She's not a whore, mother. Mother: I said get rid of her. Or do I have to do it myself? Young Norman Bates: No, Mother. I'll get rid of her. Mother: Kill her. Young Norman Bates: Kill her? I can't! No! No, I can't! Mother: Alright. Alright. Then I'll do it for you."
