| 1 | * TheOtherDarrin: Creator/AnthonyPerkins didn't want to come back for this film, so Kurt Paul, Perkins' stunt double in ''Film/PsychoII'' and ''Film/PsychoIII'', played him here. |
| 2 | * RecycledScript: The film recycles the plot point of a suicidal female guest coming to stay at the Bates Motel with the intention of cutting their wrists in the bath, only for their life to be saved, from the previous year's ''Film/PsychoIII''. Though granted, ''Psycho III'' didn't feature [[spoiler:a gang of teenage ghosts]] in its suicide subplot, so... there's ''that'', at least. |
| 3 | * StockFootage: The opening and closing shots of the Bates House are taken from the opening sequence of ''Film/PsychoII''. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was intended to lead into an anthology series, with Bud Cort contracted to continue appearing as Alex West (Creator/LoriPetty and Creator/MosesGunn apparently weren't given such contracts, on the other hand, but their characters would likely have appeared in any actual series), but poor viewing figures and audience responses killed any chance of that. |
