Psycho III is a 1986 American slasher film, and the third film in the Psycho franchise. It stars Anthony Perkins, who also directs the film, reprising the role of Norman Bates. It co-stars Diana Scarwid, Jeff Fahey, and Roberta Maxwell. The screenplay is written by Charles Edward Pogue. The original electronic music score is composed and performed by Carter Burwell in one of his earliest projects. Psycho III is unrelated to Robert Bloch's third Psycho novel, Psycho House, which was not published until 1990.
The film takes place one month after the events of Psycho II where Norman Bates is still running the Bates Motel with the corpse of Emma Spool still sitting up in the house. Maureen Coyle, a suicidal nun, with whom Norman falls in love, comes to the motel along with a drifter named Duane Duke. Reporter Tracy Venable also tries to solve the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Spool as someone begins another murder spree.
