We didn't have to wait so long for the third Psycho movie. Norman Bates holds the fort again , this time sharing the antiquated motel with a suicidal nun, Maureen and a sleazy rock wannabe, Duane. As usual people start getting slashed again and there's a fair amount of padding,including yet another re-write of Norman's back story but Perkins keeps it watchable both as actor and director.
Diana Scarwid ( as Maureen )
Sex : Maureen tries to get Norman into bed but doesn't succeed
Death : Falls down the stairs and implales herself on a statue.

Diana Trained in New York and started getting parts on TV in the late seventies. In 1980 she got an Oscar nomination for her third film Inside Moves then the following year won the Razzie for Worst Supporting Actress in Mommie Dearest. On the big screen she usually had supporting roles but was something of a TV movie queen. She retired at the end of the noughties. A devout Catholic, Brinke Stevens doubled for her in the bathroom scene.
Juliette Cummins ( as Red )
Sex : Red has sex with Duane
Death : Norman slashes her to death in a phone booth.

Juliette enjoyed the experience of working with Perkins.
Kat Shea ( As Patsy )
Sex: No
Death : Kat has her throat slit while using the toilet

Kat was coming to the end of her first career as a bit part actress here but she had already written the screenplay for The Patriot and made her directorial debut the following year with Stripped To Kill. She made her mark with Poison Ivy in 1992 and has had a reasonably successful career ever since.
