Line 113:
* [[Peek-a-Boo Corpse]]: Even if you already know Norma Bates is dead, her corpse ''will'' freak you out. No eyes!
** It's worse than that. Every bird in the movie was literally a [[Chekhov's Gun]] staring right at you.
* [[Pet The Dog]] In Psycho III we get an in depth process on how Norman does his taxidermy hobby. Which in turn shows how he managed to get the tools and resources to {{spoiler| preserve Norma and later Emma Spool.}} He has an old bird feeder full of seeds, which are laced with strychnine. The birds naturally take the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Bate]] and drop dead. Norman then hollows them out, stuffs them with preserving stuffing, picks out eyes and sews it together. After a brief hallucination, Norman spots the bag he collected the birds in beginning to move. Naturally it scares him to the point where he backs up against the counter. Only to find to his relief that one of the "Dead" birds was merely stunned and coming out of the bag. Rather than catch it and kill it to add to his collection, he picks it up gently and sends it flying away. His smile throughout the whole thing being much more [[When She Smiles|heartwarming]] than his usual creepy [[Slasher Smile|smirk]].
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Norman. It becomes more apparent when Lila Crane snoops through Norman's room and finds his toys.
* [[Psycho Strings]]: [[Trope Namer]], along with [["Psycho" Shower Murder Parody]].
